Here]Stepping out into the area, his feet crunched on the compact dirt as he looked around for any signs of danger. The night, as usual, held a moon high in the sky that lit the way across the yard and the temperature was mild enough to be considered pleasant. It was the same old, same old in this place, and he had to wonder about that. Did

Stepping through the door, the ex-General's movements slowed down to allow the others ahead of him. While some part of him desired to keep his distance and not have others at his back, another part knew that it was foolish to leave their flank unprotected. He cared not for the health of the other three, but he would hardly compromise Cloud's health for his own jaded desires.

He'd just followed Sephiroth, after all, rather foolishly.
So he continued to follow the group, not saying anything but becoming increasingly nervous. Though he didn't know it, he was the most vulnerable of them, having no special fighting or magical skills whatsoever.

Their group created a loose, but affective formation. Cloud was in the lead, with her and the boys in the middle. Sephiroth took up the rear, covering their backs. Though this made her a little nervous (Sephiroth wasn't exactly someone she particularly wanted where she could see him), she knew that Cloud wouldn't let them come to any harm, especially from someone he considered a comrade in arms.

"That's all we can hope to do," Aerith said to Yuuri in response to his words. "We just need to try out best."
She did what she could to keep those she cared about safe, even at the cost of her own life. Perhaps, that is what had happened to Wolfram. Though, she hated to see anyone get hurt so young. These boys deserved to be here even less than she and Cloud did. Their innocence would be shattered in a place like this.

Yuuri's attention shifted back over to regard Cloud as he carried Wolfram's body. His face didn't remain devoid of emotions for long, and soon enough the corner of his eyes began to sting again.
