The tension released in Cloud's posture immediately took the edge off a certain awkwardness Sephiroth was starting to feel as he'd watched the boy apply the cream to the infected area. It had almost felt like he were intruding for a moment there. Was it a lie, to lead on that he might have a clue what the affliction was when he hadn't much of a clue at all? No, something about it was familiar, he only needed to have more time to remember -however unlike him that was- considering how strange he'd also been feeling since arriving in Aqures, completely acceptable.
Surely it would be better as well, for Cloud not to worry about it so much.
Sephiroth focused on wrapping Cloud's arm, his expertise in field dressings becoming apparent at least -a basic skill as it was. He wrapped the bandage just right, not too tight so that it would soak up the cream but not loose enough that it might fall off either.
"I'm not entirely sure. It looks similar to a condition that I've seen before -unless my memory is failing me, but it seems more pustulous than I saw it before." It could be a kind of degradation, like with Genesis, after all. This seemed the logical conclusion to come to.
"I'm not sure if the salve will help or make it worse so, of course, if that ends up being the case - discontinue using it." Sephiroth finished off wrapping Cloud's arm and stepped back. Instantly, the mark didn't bug at him so much. He offered a curt nod to Cloud.
"I'd suggest to wash it thoroughly and change the dressing at least twice a day in the meantime. If it doesn't clear up- a trip to the Library might be in order."
