Poor Cloud. With his wide eyes and baby face, even at eighteen, the poor kid was an obvious target for teasing.
"C'mere, stay close t' me." Reno gestured but didn't pull Cloud in, figuring the blonde had already had enough of being touched. "Maraich's just bein' playful, he's pretty harmless."
Yup. He.
Reno smiled, thinking about it -- a real smile. All the negative things about Atia aside, he did miss some of the people sometimes. "Yeah. It's all good -- they're my friends. They're good people."
Even if they knew the other Cloud, the older Cloud, they hadn't said anything. That was the thing about places like this, where worlds collided. People expected strange time things, people expected missing or different memories, different universes. Even if people knew "Cloud," they didn't know this Cloud -- and they were very aware of that. They treated him like anyone else. Even Maraich with his spanking.
