A dark blur against the sky, and the world was like a camera in the hands of a three year old, wavering focus and exposure. Occasionally he caught clear glimpses of his newest acquaintance, but never as far as the face.
"Turk." Old codes to prove his identity flashed behind his eyes and then disappeared, but he determined that, for now, there was no need.
"You're late," he gasped.

"Relax. Your distress signal was received. Can you walk?"
Still uneasy he kept one hand ready at the hilt, just in case.

"Took your time, uhn?" Pressing his palms to the cold, nappy pavement, he pushed himself up with arthritic slowness and blinked as the world tilted awkwardly on its axis and took his stomach with it. He waited, impatient but dignified, for the nausea to pass. "Get me some water," he said, as sharply as his dry throat would allow, "and then I'll walk."

He knelt down to the man's level passing him his own water bottle.
"Sir."
Maybe he would have needed it for himself at some point in this mission but he knew that there wasn't anything drinkable in these ruins. If it would get the man to talk it was worth it. Although it might really be better to just let him keep it.
There was no humor still in his face even as he stood glancing about just in case listening wasn't enough. Even before it was abandoned Midgar was far from safe.
"There are better places to rest. A refugee camp between here and Junon. We'll head there and maybe some questions can get answered." Though on whose end he wouldn't clarify. He really did hope he wouldn't have to point out the obvious about ShinRa's collapse...
...but he'd want to carry him less. Best to give him some degree of superficial control if only for a little cooperation.
