He had been one of those throughout the entire ordeal, when their numbers had begun to dwindle significantly, the stalwart warrior who appeared to so easily close himself off - put himself half a world away from all the grief yet still be stood within the same room. Many a shoulder offered for comfort yet never quite warm enough to permeate. There had been spats as well, in the past, where he'd been accused of not feeling - people said very harsh things and didn't mean it when they were overcome with grief themselves.

Of course, realistically it helped that Sephiroth was already so far elevated above humans that he didn't much connect with how emotions became overcome by inevitable loss, even if he himself were for the moment still trapped as the same. It wouldn't be for long.

Still, he'd spent long enough around those soldiers that had been boxing all their sorrow away for the greater good to learn how to pull it off that appearance perfectly.

"Don't worry," His eyes flared up green for a moment, sparked by apparent emotion, a color that wasn't very often seen in his dulled-out eyes anymore. Sometimes the mako returned, when he was utilizing one of his abilities but he'd need to conserve all of the energy that he could for now. "I know that they won't be."

Nebilim nodded. Then, after a moment of silence, she met Sephiroth's gaze and took a step closer.

"However this turns out, Sephiroth... I'm glad I got to meet you." No, that sounded too final. She extended a hand, giving him a gentle smile. "I expect to see you on the other side... Otherwise I'll be very cross with you."

They had to succeed. If each team worked together and completed their tasks, then surely... Surely they still stood a chance. They wouldn't need to resort to the last backup plan. She had thought about telling Sephiroth about it, but had decided against it in the end. Their fighters had enough on their minds as it was.

Calm and composed as ever Sephiroth looked down over Nebilim as she took that step closer. Never mind how much more comfortable he felt around the Heroes, given his long time support of so many of them, there was always the awareness that any gesture might not be all that friendly as it seemed on the surface.

However, Nebilim was not one of those he'd ever been given a reason to be suspicious of.

Sephiroth met her gentle smile with a sharper one of his own and reached to take her hand. A short squeeze of a shake later and he withdrew it, having no reason to linger for longer in the gesture. A further once over and he allowed for his smile to spread wider; it was only meant as a light tease, no need to take it any other way.

"Well now I've even more of a reason to make sure we all succeed."

Even if he'd been aware of the backup plan, if things went Sephiroth's way there wouldn't be any need for it. As important as their mission to subdue the Calamity Spawn to weaken the Calamity went; it all served the same goal.
