[Cloud scowls as he chews on this thumbnail, though the edges are already all bitten down. Zack is still by far the better strategist; he knows how to examine the risks, examine the payoff and how to determine if something is worth going for. If Zack says it's risky, then it's GOD damned risky.
Cloud- well, he's got little more than mako blood and a metric ton of stubbornness.]
So...then what if we split up?
[Cloud points over around the south end of the jungle.] I'll cause a ruckus over there and you can sneak in, see your folks, grab a blade and get back out.
If they get close to finding me, the pond is right there. I can hold my breath really long now. [They both can, thanks to the tanks; a kind of macabre game they'd play when they were shoved back in, before Cloud lost himself. Who can hold his breath the longest? Taking the mako back into their lungs was just as bad as when that had to expel it, after all.]
