Strength and weakness. Now if that weren't an oxymoron.
Sephiroth had never seen strength in comparative weakness like Ramza were describing. At least, not the type of strength that would bring a warrior like him out on top in a battle. He understood having the will to carry on despite the odds, but such determination had never been because of his own fragility ever before in his life. He had never, not once, entered a fight that he hadn't every confidence he would be able to exceed all expectations in. It was a matter of personal pride to him, in fact. That's why the Company had involved SOLDIER at all, into their war against Wutai. That harder-than-nails drive to be victorious that defined a lot of them and Sephiroth most of all.
Still, in Crystallis it was all so very different. By the second day in, Sephiroth had felt weaker as his lethargy increased. He had pushed it to the back of his mind and focused on carrying on. Perhaps that is what Ramza referred to here. The silver haired mans frown lifted a little and he slowly nodded back in Ramza's direction.
"It's very warming to hear you say so." Even if he still personally were having trouble putting the fact that he came back injured on par with successful.
