I'm sure he does. And he's also struggling to deal with this like the adult he's supposed to be.
That's fair. And you don't have to. Though I'll give him a piece of my mind if he tries that, either way.
[ That's to say whether or not Sephiroth chooses to show up. Not that she'd let Cloud tell her private things! Just... the other stuff she can remark on. ]
He's doing that pretty well, he acts very much like nearly every adult I've ever interacted with besides Matt, Lucia and Glenn.
Adult behavior is just another word for petulance, I suppose. The future is bleak. This is what we have to look forward to.
Start practicing now.
Do these things have a speaker phone option? If absolutely necessary, and I mean absolutely necessary not just a mild suggestion, then that can probably do, then I don't have to find where I put my socks and I can hang up whenever I want.
The future doesn't have to be bleak. If my world's able to manage it, yours with most of it intact should end up having something to look forward to.
[ She also knows that not all adults are petulant but it's hard to provide examples from a hat when all the ones she knows are still on the First. Besides, there's probably times where she finds herself hard pressed to not agree. ]
Yes, I think I can manage something like that. Just a moment, let me see what he says first.
[ If Cloud is going to complain that Sephiroth won't show up in person, then she's going to have to have words with the blond. Much less facilitate the connection. ]
[ She's going to grow up just like herself. And journal the process all the way through. Probably regret reading some of those journals in about twenty years but that's besides the point. ]
I will. Please do.
[ Hey, she's not above curiousity even if she doubts she'd show it. Gaia doesn't really think ahead to Sephiroth showing it on his own power mind you but that's part of what being a teenager is all about. ]

Text! (way back when the whole convo with Cloud happened about Future Sephiroth)
Date: 2025-11-23 06:58 pm (UTC)He wants to tell me stuff about you and what your future self can do but I won't let him unless you're okay with that. Or here and okay with it.
LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN
Date: 2025-11-23 07:04 pm (UTC)I'm not sure I'm really interested in yet another round of why I should eagerly beg for any scrap he chooses to toss in my direction.

Word for word. I can draw a picture too.
