This ship.. makes things more complicated in some ways, doesn't it?
[Sephiroth isn't the kind of person to casually date. If he's chosen to invest himself, and was ANYTHING like the man he used to be, then he was going to be planning long term.
Longer than the Barge.
But it isn't .. just about Sephiroth. He's observed Cloud for a while too, and it wasn't hard to tell that the blond needed SOMETHING in his life.. 'meaning' was perhaps too trite, but everyone needed a focus, and he didn't seem to have one. That this focus is the man who ruined his life was ..well, strange, but love worked in strange ways.]
Don't forget this is about you too. What you want, your happiness. I'm hoping that you'll have some things in common on that angle and can enjoy them together. But if you start sacrificing just because you care about someone .. you're gonna wind up unhappy. And that's how relationships end.
In some ways. But if it wasn't for this ship, I never would've been able to talk to him and work things out like we did. So, net positive, heh.
[It's not a joke, but it's not overly serious, either.
Cloud takes a moment to consider what Angeal's said.]
Right. I wouldn't worry too much about me - Sephiroth's determined to focus on what I want no matter what I say, because he doesn't think he wants anything. I know he's wrong, and I'll prove it to him. But - thanks, Angeal. I'll keep it in mind, too.
