For a moment Cloud raised an eyebrow, wondering why she'd be making a big deal about it. And then he remembered: Wutai. Of course. She probably had people she lost in the war. "N-no, not SOLDIER. I wanted to get in, but I was just a grunt. I joined up towards the end of the war. I was never deployed in Wutai, but I didn't think you'd be happy to know I was a ShinRa soldier."

He wasn't sure why he cared about what this thief thought of him but...something told him that it was important for her to trust him.
