"Hey! You've reached Cayde, but either I'm busy or I'm busy. Either way, go ahead and leave a message...or don't. Obviously I won't get back to you if it's the latter."
It's disassembled in the entrance hall of the library. I just... [ Here's a little sigh. ] This is bigger than what we cobbled together at school. Don't think I can move most of these pieces on my own.
Some assembly required, eh? How big we talking? Not that it makes a difference- but do you think it requires like, more than two pairs of hands to carry or you think we can manage?
I need to talk to you about something. [ Reeve did say he should tell more people about this. But Cloud would tell people that he wishes to tell. If they wish to tell others he won't get mad at them. ]
But, it's not exactly easy to talk about after what happened during that not card game. The replicator will be getting looked into after we're free from here and we have a somewhat plan in place.
But my thing, it's personal and has to do with me. Can we meet up?
[ Cloud would find his way down a few hallways trying to look for Cayde's name on the door plates. There were door plates that he didn't want to talk to right now and if he happened to come across them. He would make eye contact with them to be polite enough in a passing way. If he got stopped by them to have chit-chat he would. But his main goal was to get to Cayde as quickly as he could.
He wanted to get back to Vincent or Reeve right after. Cloud would at least spend his time equally with his friends. Upon getting to Cayde's door, he would give it three sharp knocks with the back of his knuckles of his right hand. Anxious nears settled in and he rubs at his left arm as he waits outside looking at the door. ]
why do you think they need sharpening the surfaces dont even dent
[They scratched. A little. Still took effort. Once Cloud came into the room, he'd see the most noticeable of Cayde's blade handiwork on the side wall where tally marks for each assumed day have been made.]
You can come in, I'm decent.
[Cayde doesn't look up from where he sits at the edge of the bed and the latest knife he's honing. It's smaller than the one he usually keeps at his belt, and there's four others sitting on the top of the drawers.]
[ Cloud tilts his head at the 'I'm decent'. Cayde's a robot man, does that mean he still had certain parts? His eyes widen a bit at even remotely thinking about it. He covers his mouth with his hand. Cloud waits a moment to come into the room and glances over at the tally marks. It makes more sense as to what Cayde had said about the knives not being able to make a dent.
He shuts the door behind and looks around the room first. Cayde would seem pretty dangerous with just having all of those knives out. Cloud presses his lips together as he starts to walk over towards the Exo. ]
That's a bit hard to answer. It is right now. [ For the moment. ]
[He'd made the comment offhandedly, but if he knew it'd given Cloud that much pause he would have laughed. So much.
The Exo makes another couple of passes along the blade before holding it up to inspect it. A brow lifts as Cloud makes his reply, glowing blue optics shifting towards the blond then.]
Well that's a loaded answer.
[Sighing a bit, he pats the bed beside him after he's placed the knife with the others. He finally draws out the largest, the one as long as his forearm. Like all of the blades he has here, it lacks the nicks and signs of wear, but he wastes no time in setting to work with the whetstone as he waits for Cloud to speak his mind.]
[ Cloud's going to be awkwardly minding his own business on his thoughts. Cayde can openly ask him about Cloud taking a bit to even come into the room.
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. ]
How many knives do you really have?
[ 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. ]
I know that everyone is going through their own stuff right now. This is hard for me to tell anyone. I didn't tell my friends but it's a bit different here. [ And his friends currently are a bit further into his future. He knows a good thing happens but it doesn't really help him here. ]
I came here with a disease from my world. [ He looks at Cayde while placing a hand on his left arm. ] It's a disease that kills you. But there's a lot to it than that.
[ Cloud doesn't say anything more but he will wait to listen to Cayde out on what he might say. ]
