Cloud looked up from his work, wiping his brow while the other hand held onto the pitchfork. The cooler air was rolling in but the work was still hard, and true to form he'd been given a few double shifts after running off to the chocobo forest again and failing to return with a golden one for the ranch. Behind him Zack trilled happily as he ran around, one of the ranch black chocobos among those chasing him before he lifted off and soared over the barn. The bird was really enjoying showing off.

But that was something Cloud was used to by now and he only afforded the birds a quick glance to check on them before answering Nanami. "Well, we're always happy to take on new ranch hands. Every little bit helps." Especially when the Heroes had to run off to do something, or worse turned to Crystal.
