He looks away from Cayde knowing that his answer wasn't exactly a full one to begin with. Cloud waits a moment but goes on the side of the bed next to Cayde. ]

[ Because that's not really why they're here right now. But he can't help but realize that the one Cayde pulled out is longer than the others. ]

[ Cloud doesn't say anything more but he will wait to listen to Cayde out on what he might say. ]
