Cloud nods, hands dropping down to his holster and tugging on a strap. He's still looking up at Sephiroth as he tightens one, hands and fingers having done this same task so many times that he doesn't require more than half his attention to the task.

"Did it hurt?" Cloud asks softly.

"It did," Sephiroth answers with a nod. "I'd have been rather surprised if it hadn't."

If Cloud has ever wondered just how Sephiroth gets his boots on, now would be his chance to find out, as Sephiroth's got one in hand by now and is busily pulling it on.

Cloud watches him, watches the process and can't quite hide a smirk as Sephiroth continues to slip the boot on and buckle his belts. Honestly. That much leather would be excessive on anyone else.

He scoots forward on his seat as Sephiroth reaches for the next, hand holding out for the other boot. The hand is expectant, but Sephiroth is free to forego Cloud's help.

Well, yes, there is that. But it's ... oddly fitting that he should wear the same leather-and-steel as the sword he wields, given what ShinRa had made him into. That and he manages to pull the look off rather well.

There's a blink at Cloud's offer and then offers over his other boot. Of course, in doing so, he might give Cloud a rather decent look at the back of Sephiroth's ungloved hand, but well... that's unavoidable really.

Cloud's hand pauses in its reach for the boot, fingers brushing the leather, his eyes widening as they catch sight of the tattooed digit on Sephiroth's hand.

He stares, can't help staring, soulful eyes unblinking and fixed on the black coloring. Old feelings surface like deceptive dreams, ready to sting and hurt and twist his core. The faint sound of a pleading voice, asking for a number, asking to matter, to belong, to exist as something...not so unwanted. Not so easily discarded.

"I...I don't..." Cloud hides his left hand, newly gloved not ten minutes ago, behind his back.
