[Kumo had attempted to be one of the brighter spots in Cloud's day after his bumpier arrival and awakening. between shooting down a girl who said that she knew him and continuing to reassure himself that his reality was truly his, he initially wasn't prepared to trust a place that would examine him.
the last time he got "examined"... Cloud's paranoia was getting gradually worse and worse. the more people that came to him, insisting on things that happened that he did not remember- Cloud wanted to wake up. all he had was the insistence of his newfound companion and-]
Uh...?
[-the voice of somebody else who cut through the maelstrom of clashing memories in his mind. his eyes widened briefly as if listening to that voice kept him grounded again. Kumo flutters between the two of them, throwing up his little hands for emphasis]
"That's what I've been trying to tell him, kupo! Guy sounds like he's been through the ringer and could use a hand, but noooo."
[as the moogle started going off on a minor tangent of his own, Cloud turned around to face the pink-haired princess properly. physically, he doesn't seem like he's about to fall over ill, but one could tell by the falter in that faint glow of his eyes that he was tired for a completely different reason. seeing someone else insist that he be looked at, Cloud started to wonder if he really looked that bad. with a light huff, he tilts his head to his moogle.]
Sorry. I just-
"You just this. You just that. Tell you what. You get yourself checked up, rest up, and I'll listen to anything you gotta say, kupo. You're gonna run yourself into the ground before this nice lady can tell you twice!"
[Cloud wasn't used to this, but both of them were right. rubbing the back of his neck, his expression softens a little as he looks to Euphie once more]
... [less excuses and hesitating, more acting, Cloud] Thanks. Guess I haven't been myself since I got here.
