As the others raged Cloud was quiet for a moment. There was no need to throw his anger into the din, and her "attempt" to relive them of arguing over one choice led to another. Instead he followed Ramza over to Garland, looking at the man who now lay dead before them.
He had resigned himself to this. Garland had. Cloud had. They were ready to fight to the death. Both were willing to lay the final bows as needed. Cloud was worried for the others who were cast away but right now they had a potential new foe standing in their midst. He didn't want to leave the others in trouble if they were, but they couldn't risk turning their back on her either.
After a moment longer he turned about, trying to call out over all the other voices.
"Yuri is being generous giving you five minutes. I imagine the rest of us will give you a bit less. I'm willing to bet you have one chance, one, to explain to us plainly what's happening here. We've had more than our share of people stabbing us in the back and telling us lies and laughing at us for one reason or another in this world. Telling us we're fools who don't know what we're doing and how we're ruining everything with every action we take."
Like Reno he remembered that attack and where the energy to use it came from. He still ached from that memory.
"I'm willing to bet you can probably take us all in a fight. Odd are it'll get pretty messy very quick. No matter what there's a good chance a lot of us will get killed. It'll also probably ruin any plans anyone has about saving this world or destroying the Calamity..." He narrowed his eyes at Parasraya, "Or taking control of it?"
He looked around, and then gestured to her in invitation, a faint smirk coming across his lips. If they were being treated as fools then perhaps they should be fools. Fools with a habit of breaking things. "So, tell us who you are and what you're planning here. And please choose your words wisely. As many people in this world have taken the time to tell us on many occasions....we are very stupid."
