[ He never had the chance to experience what further lied ahead for him. Was it a path that would take him down a similar one Rufus and the others were familiar with? Or did breaking away from destiny mean he was free to make his own choices properly now? Make a difference? Make things right? If venturing to Nippon told him anything...it's that he'd already accomplished all of that. He was well on the path of making things right, and knowing where he wanted to end up at the end of his road. The pain of being apart from Ayaka didn't hit the same way that it would have for her, but in the end...did that matter? He would comfort. Console. Reassure. Be the pillar of support for her that he knows he can be.
May he never know what it felt like to be apart from her for as long as she was from him. In the meantime, he focuses on the here and now, pulling away from her so he can actually finally get the upper half of his Nipponese outfit on. But before Cloud brings the fabric over his head and tugs it down, he watches as she does a little spin.
And he's enamored all over again. Watching with a calm sense of wonder and bright eyes. He may not be able to retain her eye color or hair color due to the effects of Kizuna anymore, but it just means that Cloud's eyes for what they truly were, are even more genuine as his cheeks color. It still wasn't a common word within his vocabulary...but,
'Cute' doesn't even begin to describe his girlfriend. It's enough to make his heart begin to hammer away in his chest a little harder, even if the blond does well in quelling his reaction on the surface. ]
So that's what Fontaine fashion's all about...
[ When she lifts one side of her skirt slightly, he can't help but tilt sideways at the hip, as if to get a better look when he spots the tsubaki adorning the fabric. The petticoat and tights are a nice touch if this is a character's outfit! Sighing through his nose with a gentler smile, ]
Beautiful.
[ 'Lovely' works too... Quickly, he pulls the sleeveless shirt over his head, his head popping through as he adjusts the top to be even on his upper body. As for the rest? The armor plating, Tsubaki...he doesn't really concern himself with wearing any of those right now. If they leave this place together, he will. But now that she's brought up the fact that she's dressed as a character from home... Did this mean- ]
Ayaka? [ A beat. ] Soon as I jumped through that door...I woke up here.
