[The obvious fact that Cloud doesn't have such a good handle on his emotions when compared to Sephiroth is exactly why the vast majority of other Heroes are more inclined to believe in the strong, cool and collected warrior when compared to the bear-with-a-sore-bum that Cloud appeared to be. It almost came across as jealousy at times, which just suited Sephiroth's purpose more.
Sephiroth even jumps, ever-so slightly at the violent reaction Cloud delivers to the console. He needs to be so careful, as despite all the Custom Jobs he had equipped already if Cloud decides to end him here it really would all be over. With a carefully crafted edge of concern Sephiroth watches silently as Cloud pulls himself back into order.
Never mind how he's already laughing heartily inside. And then Cloud follows with that comment. The urge to twist his smile into a knowing smirk is heavily repressed, instead Sephiroth takes a step back and makes it look as if he's taking a broader look at the whole map. Answering Cloud as if they were discussing the weather; that casually.]
