[Cloud can understand. Monsters are...well...monsters. They're animals, and they're scary and most of them want to eat you. But people. People can be reasoned with. People are other people who grew up being told not to hurt people. And then there you are in the slums with guns pointed at each other over anything from ideology to desperate theft. And even when it's in self defense killing another person never comes easy.

He leans over, offering Jaune a hand to his feet.]

You can lean on me if you need to. But yeah, I know what you mean. If you don't think you can, don't worry about it. There's enough of us here to take the front line if you want to play defense or support.

[If Jaune is keen he'll notice Cloud dodged the implied question.]
