Arguments

Cloud hates it when they fight.

The problem with being in any situation where people dealt with each other was that disagreements popped up. The more people, the more frequently it seemed to happen. When you were sleeping with said people, the level of fights took on whole new properties.

For instance, at the moment, Cid and Rufus were railing at each other. Cid was getting fairly loud, and Rufus was coldly snapping back. Not good, not at all. Exchanging glances with Vincent, Cloud simply withdrew. Both of them knew that there was no interrupting. All that would do would be to add a new element to the fight, and Cloud really didn't feel like fighting right now.

"Of course the space program got canceled. Why would Shin-Ra want to leave it in the hands of someone who couldn't even control his own people?"

That made Cloud and Vincent both freeze and give each other looks that almost edge on panic. For them, at least. There were certain things that nobody poked at. Period. It just wasn't done.

Trust Rufus to take a sledgehammer to one.

"Funny, thought that was cause that fat slob you called father was too busy being led around by the nose. Course, he kept Shin-Ra going. Only took you what, months, to run it down. Even if you blame Sephiroth, it still wouldn't have last."

Both men were stiff backed and almost snarling.

Cloud wasn't going to deal with this. Let them fight it out on their own.

Knowing where to hit was just going to turn the fight vicious, and he had no desire to stay and listen to them tear each other apart.

Turning, he walked out of the room.

Wandering Off

He had enjoyed the human-thing that had joined him in the travel. He really had. The man had known where the itchy spots were, and it was nice to have him there.

Still, cats are easily distracted, and even the voice that called in his head couldn't keep his attention all the time, so he found himself roaming after things that caught his interest. He tended to wander back, as human-thing managed to keep them going on a straight path. But, one time, he had roamed a little far, and human-thing was nowhere in sight when he roamed back.

Silly human-thing.

Slightly put out, but still moving, he decided that, maybe, they would would meet again eventually. After all, they were both after the voice, which still murmured in the back of his skull. It called him, and he really couldn't help but answer it.

Though he did take the long way, distraction after distraction detouring him from the straight path.

Besides, what was the fun in a straight line, anyway?
