If there was one thing Sephiroth picked up easily on, it was the pain of others. Normally, something he would enjoy, watching someone suffer at the loss of something cherished... no, he just preferred using Cloud for that. When it came to people in general... he could just see it, and hated knowing someone was being... emotional.
Turning his gaze away from hers, he focused his eyes toward the end of the couch, where he placed his legs.
"If you lost someone, they're not coming back," he said coarsely. It was insensitive, but the truth.

"I know," she said, her voice soft. "That doesn't make it hurt any less."
She regarded him silently for a moment.
"Don't you have something you miss?"

Sephiroth kept his head turned, regarding the girl across his nose and through the parting of his bangs, staring at Yuna for several minutes. The gears practically could be heard turning in his head as he thought about his response. There was nothing he cherished anymore... not that he thought he had anything to cherish initially.
"No," he said, not going deeper into it. He'd already pondered and speculated the reasons he'd been abandoned by his friends, and betrayed by the military. The only one who spoke to him was... "Well, my mother." Maybe that would sate Yuna's probing.

She nodded, not pressing any further than that. But because she didn't answer out loud, the room filled with awkward silence. Uh-oh.
"So...where do we go from here? What should we do now?"

"The short answer would be to get some rest. Tomorrow, if we're going to be stuck here, a good idea might be to blend in." Not that his ability to shop was any good, but when in Paris... do as the Parisians do. "They're not going to let us stay here forever, and unless you've got a lot of gil stashed away in that bodice," he waved to her dress. "Doubtful... then we'll have to find employment."
Or she would, and he could pass off as a bodyguard while he played his cat-and-mouse game with Cloud behind the scenes.

((I see what you did there!))
"No, infinite gil," she said, wishing that money wouldn't have to be an issue. She didn't know just how well she'd blend in to this place, as even if she changed her clothes she couldn't leave for anywhere without the staff.
"Jobs doing...what? I suppose I could see if they need healers." Before all this, she'd been a Summoner, all the occupation one could need.

((I knew that you could. )) "From what I could tell, they don't exactly have roving bands of monsters around here either..." At least none that ran into outside - not that anything smaller than Bahamut would be an issue for him. It was annoying little blonds on motorcycles that seemed to give him the most problems. "There is the opera," he said after a few minutes of silent musing.

"The city does seem safe, compare to back home..."
She gave him a wry smile at the mention of the opera.
"Are you sure you want to go back there?"

Sephiroth had started to pinch the bridge of his nose, slumping down across the couch, which was still too tall to accommodate his uniquely tall frame.
"Yes," he said, opening one eye to peek at her from behind his bangs, but his reasons were slightly different than 'finding work.' "I have my reasons."

She leaned forward, trying to meet his eyes past the hair. The silvery-white may have been pretty, but it was always in the way.
"If you say so." She said, arching an eyebrow at him. "I guess I could sing there...I actually can..."

Well, he wasn't going to sleep any time soon, and from the sounds of it, neither was Yuna. Shifting his position from slumped to upright, watching her for a moment before deciding he'd bite.
"Go on. I had a friend who was deeply into the arts. He took me every chance he had." Which might have made it sound like they were more than friends, but Sephiroth didn't seem to notice the implications. But yes, Genesis had dragged him to the Loveless Ave. Playhouse any chance he could.
"I've never tried."

"Although there was much time for singing when I was on my pilgrimage, I did learn from a teacher when I was a child up until I became a summoner. I'd always wanted to sing in the stadium at Bevelle..."
She hadn't thought of singing in Bevelle's opera house, but she couldn't think of why an opera house wouldn't take her.

"Then you should be able to do just fine there," he said actually showing a little confidence in the girl's abilities. He folded his arms over his chest and leaned against the back of the couch now, too awake to really sleep anyway.
"It would probably help to find some music before you just go in and..." he paused, waving a hand for effect, "sing your way in."

She brightened.
"Oh, I hope I can do well, at least for money. If I had something to write it on, I could write some sheet music...I actually memorized the notes to my favorite song to sing."

With that thought, Sephiroth stood and crossed over to a nightstand, rooting around in it for a moment before he managed to produce a few sheets of paper and a pencil.
"Some things never change, no matter where you go."
