[color=9e0b0f]"Oh but Cloud.. I admired your passion there. To stand up to your superior.. Really. Those would be such honorable words to DIE ON![/color] 

Sephiroth burst out into laughter, ever so sadistic, laughter. It almost struck Cloud with Deja Vu, as short visions of that one fire, with Sephiroths laughter included were burnt into his mind. The screams his mother let out in her final moments, begging Sephiroth to spare her.. the way he saw it, Sephiroth was doing Cloud a favor, letting him at least know what his mother said before she died. Was that really so bad..? But enough games. Sephiroth slowly raised his sword, prepared to strike down Cloud directly in the head..-- until this fool walked up and hugged him. He unsummoned his sword, as it turnt into mere particles, and looked upon the stranger with utter disgust. He would just kill him, but he had already given himself a reason not to kill anybody, a relief for everybody with him. Still, Sephiroth showed his disgust until it ended, simply pretending like Captain Falcon wasn't even there. Only having his eyes on Cloud.

Sephiroth audibly scoffed.. He knew he couldn't kill Cloud, and yet at that moment, he sure as hell wanted to. Leave him in a pool of blood, how fun that would of been. Sephiroth just gave a glare to the Captain, as the glare practically spoke for him, saying something along the lines of 'Back off before you're next.' 

'May I inform you that whatever the reason we were all brought here for, fighting amongst each other isn’t the smartest move?' Sephiroth didn't see it as a fight, no, he was simply teaching Cloud a lesson. A rather generous one too, simply causing a bit of harm. Was it truly his fault that others were not acquainted with the way he teaches lessons? It mattered not. That was then, and now Sephiroth is entering the now. Taking a bit to stare at Ciri, before clearing his throat and speaking.

[color=9e0b0f]"Much worse could of been done. This was not a 'fight.' He wouldn't be here at all if it was. I was generous. Isn't that right.. [b][i]Cloud?"[/i][/b][/color]

Once again, that ominous way of speech. He knew what to say, how to say it, and at what times. Gloating over painful memories and failures was sort of his 'thing,' mostly when it came to Cloud. No matter how much harm he inflicted, he would keep Cloud alive. So he could build up his hatred, and help Sephiroth achieve his goal. Of course, he wouldn't tell Cloud that until the time was right.
