Hmm. [A nod at Youth.] I remember. [A short pause.] Lotus seems like a good kid, if a little... enthusiastic. [And very, very innocent about a lot of things.]

[Cloud wondered if they were going to try and make him leave. He wasn't really interested in going back out in the rain this late at night, especially since he didn't really have anywhere else to go... but nor was he interested in hanging around if they were going to use the cabin whether Cloud was present or not.]
