Even if he hadn't know Mary's profession and practiced art of being an assassin, the very fact that she had been one of the ones who had tried to stop him a few days ago would have added tension to any atmosphere. She'd intervened, to stop him from trying to break Terra's crystal with his bare hands and now at least for the most part that madness had been slept back into dormancy, if anything he felt foolish beyond compare for being seen in that way.
She'd been there before as well, when he'd been a drunken wreck on a street corner over something of a related issue too. How could he ever forget?
Sephiroth shifted once more in his seated position, drawing a long breath as the reduced muscle mass in the back of his shot shoulder threatened to tense up into a less bearable level of pain. Like a stitch of a feeling he tried to roll with it, looked away across the room a moment -intentionally or not, showing Mary a respectable level of trust- before answering her.
"It's not one of my strengths but-" Finally he seemed to lean himself back again, breathe a little easier.
