"I'm... here, aren't I?" Cloud frowned, trying to figure that out; sure, maybe there was some things that seemed odd, or not quite right, but he had goals he still wanted to realize and ShinRa was the best way to get that. Even if that wasn't the biggest of his ambivalence he would be very, very stupid if he said so.
"Not sure what you're expecting of me, here, sir." No sass this time, just Cloud shrugging his shoulders. It wasn't as if he had any opinion on the president and his son, really. He didn't know them, so the only nebulous loyalty came from where he was getting paid, wanting to do a good job, and trying to get strong enough for SOLDIER.
... Whether he was supposed to say any of that, though, Cloud wasn't sure, and wasn't sure he wanted to say that. Rufus could always pick someone else from Infantry if he didn't like his answers, couldn't he? He was hardly special, no matter what he had been hoping to have attained at this point.
