She shakes her head from side to side, just enough to cause her hair to bounce and fall over her shoulders.
"I'm not going to be alone, Cloud. I don't know much about Kaji or this Terra he's talked about, but I'll be able to take care of myself. Look.."
She takes a hold of one of his hands, giving it a solid grip so that his fear of her disappearance might subside just long enough for her to do what must be done.
"When I need you, I know you'll be there to help me. But this.. This isn't Gaia. Things here are a whole lot more serious. When.. When I said what I said at the Water Tower.." Does she even begin to explain? The future she'd been a part of had been filled with numerous attempts at trying to explain how she left. If she said things now, what good would it do? Considering his age as well, would it serve the two of them any good if she spilled the beans? "When I said what I said, that was for our time back home. Here? I want you to keep your eyes on you, okay? I know you're strong, probably stronger than you give yourself credit for. But I want you to be safe. You've got years before you'll understand what I've seen and lived, and I want to make sure you get there. If you want to come along, I'm not going to stop you, but I want you to focus on you. Look out for yourself and stay safe, because I might not be able to, and I'll be busy watching my own back."
