"Hm." Realistic about his goals. Although Sephiroth had still been going through all of this without much in terms of goals for himself, he understood well the need to be realistic. The circumstances continued to darken with every day, and he'd abstained from really applying himself towards an outcome, for far too long due to the hesitance such a cautious approach brought with it.

With a brief side glance to Vincent, Sephiroth stepped a little closer to Ales. He didn't know much about Ales' goals either, only that their interests had crossed multiple times on previous occasions.

"That very much depends on the details." Not a no. If anything, a invitation for Ales to come and find him or get in touch later, so that they might discuss it further. In front of so many prying eyes might not be the best environment.
