This time it was Squall's turn to roll his eyes, but the amusement in them clearly showed. This guy wasn't bad. He didn't give off a suffocating air, and... well if he knew Leon the way Sora knew Leon, he knew how to talk to him then. It was... an odd sense of relief.

The ice around his feet started melting away and the air became less brisk. The thoughts of this new theory would probably plague his mind later, but for now Cloud had distracted him rather well.

"Sorry if... this is awkward, well.. more awkward than usual," he gestured vaguely. It must be weird seeing the face of his comrade several years younger. Squall's hand moved to his ear to fidget with the amulet shaped like his necklace pendant dangling from it. It was a weird habit he started since coming here.
