[Don't try to talk? He wants to laugh. He wants to scream and cry and lunge up to hug her. Deep down he knows he should be worried- if Shinra tracked them, if they followed Cloud, they'd find her and he can't protect her like this. They should get the hell out of here, recover somewhere far away from her so she'll be safe from the danger that's followed them for almost a year now.
He can't, though. He doesn't even try. His fingers curl around hers, his grip weak and bloody, barely able to convey his urgency and relief. She's here, she's real. He can feel her, solid and strong. She's holding him, making sure he knows he's not alone.
Hah... so stupid. Even if he could run from her, even if his legs would carry him, he couldn't do it. There's nowhere in the world he'd rather be right now than here, with her.
He closes his eyes reluctantly, focusing on breathing more carefully- in, out, in, out, letting his lungs settle, letting the curatives do their job, basking quietly in her presence. She's the one keeping him safe now, isn't she? She's kept him alive.
He'll trust her, then.]
Cloud...?
[He's safe too, right? He made it? Somehow, he woke up and found this place. He must be okay. Aerith would know.]
