Fighting against the nimble and strange humanoid monsters had been an exercise in futility, and he had little choice when he was strapped to a table, kicking and fighting because he wasn't going to just let these guys trap him alone. He didn't have leverage against these things, but he hoped that maybe if he fought harder, struggled harder, he wouldn't be so vulnerable.

Cloud had experience in avoiding Oh Shit situations. Apparently, it wasn't enough to avoid this one, and no, he told himself, trying to keep his breathing calm, panicking isn't going to help.

"..." He glared at the man that replaced the monsters, no doubt in his mind that he had something to do with this. "Who are you?"

Of course, this one would be a fiesty one. That, of course, made things that much more interesting. "That's none of your concern," Luxord replied lightly before realizing that it wasn't exactly true. "Well, no, it likely is your concern," he conceded, "but that doesn't mean I'm going to tell you."

With no further ado and no warning, he walked forward and through the boy strapped to the table. It was time to get down to business.

"Why no-" Cloud choked back his words, eyes growing wide in alarm and disbelief when the man has just walked through him, when they were both obviously solid.

And yes, he was panicking. Normal people just didn't do that.

Luxord couldn't help but smirk a bit, both at the memories he'd just seen and at the boy's panic. Yes, he should be easy to break.

"Now tell me," he commented offhandedly, "how has Tifa been recently?" He cared more about Cloud's reaction than the answer to the question. "Not harmed, I hope. It would be such a shame if anything were to happen to her."

sorry it took so long!

He jerked against his constraints at the mention of his childhood friend. "What did you do to her?!" He demanded, though somewhere in the back of his mind there was a nigging idea that he wouldn't be told. Or that he wasn't really in any position - oh, haha - to take that tone.

Cloud had been in Shin-Ra for just a short time so he hadn't attempted to call home, not yet, but if he had been put... here by some power and Zack had been too... "Where is she?" He tried again, lowering his voice into a plea.

"Absolutely nothing," Luxord replied lightly, brushing off Cloud's concern as if it were nothing - which, to Luxord, it was.

"Oh, I'm sure I don't know." Which was the truth, but Cloud didn't need to know that. "She's likely a good deal better off with you out of the way."
