Nanaki had been telling Yuffie about what he had done and found while he was in the forest around the small town as they went to the cafe. None of it was particularly interesting, but the ninja had demanded to know and he didn't mind talking about it. He's managed to get quite a bit of gil/munny from fighting the monsters around the area, and even if he didn't have much he needed to use it for, Nanaki believed in preparing for the future.

The sudden movement from one of the cafe's tables distracted him from the monster he was describing, and he turned his attention away from Yuffie. The voice and the smell of cigarettes confirmed it before he even fully caught sight of the man.

"Cid? What are you doing here?" Nanaki asked as he trotted over to the pilot, surprise clear in his voice.

Cid groaned and slunk back onto the bench as the two edged closer. By the time they reached him, he was mumbling strings of questions and curses to himself. The brat was trying to look intimidating again -Cid had learned long ago not to be fooled- and Nanaki just looked...well, like he always did. Cid still sometimes had trouble reading his expressions.

"Red," he said as he nodded to Nanaki and completely ignored Yuffie. "How's it goin'? I don't know what I'm doin' here or I'd be glad t'tell ya? What the hell is this place, anyway?" he asked, since Nanaki seemed to at least be familiar with the area.

He finally spared a glance for Yuffie and responded to her disgusted greeting. "What, an' I'm supposed'a be happy t'see you? I don't think so. Why th'hell d'you hafta be here, huh? I coulda been happy, dammit!"

"You haven't had anyone explain this place to you yet?" Well, that would explain why he hadn't said anything on the Mognet yet, probably. It was unusual, though, since most people seemed to at least get a quick speech and introduction to their mognet device, from the moogles or otherwise. Then again, it wouldn't be unlike Cid to have slept through it.

Quickly, he launched into a brief summary. "This place is called Never Was. It is a world separate from our own, and has residents from many different worlds trapped here. There has been no concrete way out found, and the world itself is quite odd. Weather changes constantly, for example. And there have been several odd events that have not harmed the residents, but shake up the town."

Once the bickering started, Nanaki's ears flattened back against his skull. He knew the two weren't the best of friends, and that they argued more than they ever agreed with each other, but this was a bit much, and bordered on genuine dislike. "Enough, you two," he said, sounding tired.
