Cid sighed again and tilted his head back to watch the ceiling as she confessed, trying to avoid seeing her expression. Hearing her voice like that was bad enough for him. She hadn't faltered or hesitated, or sounded so unsure, for years, and hearing her go back to that now...

He knew she had gotten stronger, maybe it was spending so much damn time with him. That thought almost made him laugh, as he wondered just how true it was. But now, he could tell it was really eating her away, because how far both of them had come seemed to melt away in that moment.

When she was done, he finally swallowed, sighing once more before finally looking down to meet her gaze, pushing her away only slightly, enough to see her face.

"Shera, I..." he hesitated, trying to find the words. He what? Thinking for a moment, he shook his head and looked at her again.

"I wanted a family too, but hell... Just look at Marlene, lost her parents, Barret's never fuckin' around. The world is shit right now," he started, so far not off to a good one. "But it won't always be like that. I mean, hell, whatever is hurtin' the planet this time, we'll give it a swift kick in the ass once and for all. Now's not the time, but there is one. One of these days, I'll give you your family. Don't be worryin' about it now, alright?"

After he was done, he gave her a look that pledged sincerity. It was a promise, and one he intended to keep, even if it meant taking on the world himself.
