The thought of Cloud protecting him was cute. He had once seen what Cloud could do and it was impressive given he didn't have any enhancements at the time. Maybe in this world he was actually at an advantage since his body didn't feel weaker or heavier like Zack's own did. "Well if you want you can protect me but I still got your back."
He smiled a little as they started to walk but paused when Cloud starting looking at him closer.
Fuck.
What could he possibly say for looking older without having to explain what happened to him, to both of them. He wished he was as quick to think on his feet like some of the Turks he once called his friends.
Trying to think of what to say he shrugged, as if oblivious to it. Hoping his acting was good enough. "Maybe it's this world? I don't have my enhancements so maybe it affected how I look more than I thought. Do I really look old to you?" He pouted, rubbing at his cheek. "I hope I don't look too old for you."
Oh boy time for pain
