Cloud shifted on his feet and shrugged. He'd noticed that, thanks. He didn't like it, but what was there to do about it? Nothing, really. Not until he got stronger... which he was, so hopefully next time he'd make it past the physical portion of the exam.
That wasn't all, of course, and Cloud gritted his teeth - what did Rufus Shinra know about any of that, anyway? Cloud was, just barely, not stupid enough to spit that out though. Remembered at the last possible moment with an angry pink tinge to his cheeks all ready to burst out, that the man in front of him could easily not just have him dismissed from the mission, but from the company as a whole.
"Advantage?" He didn't quite manage not to sound sullen, though. "Where? The only thing that's gonna get me into SOLDIER is passing the exams. Sir."
He was... working on that. Even if he'd needed Zack's encouragement to start again.
