Cloud left almost as confused as he came. He wasn't surprised that that was it, but at the same time... it seemed like way too much effort and attention given to something that'd last no more than a few days.
A few days that were more exhausting than they had any right to be, since what he mostly did was standing around, either behind Rufus or at the door of whatever current room he was in. Far more annoying though, was being talked about as if he wasn't there by some other in Rufus' detail, and what they said...
Cloud had to catch himself from turning to look at Rufus every time he thought about that after he'd heard it that morning. It seemed... utterly stupid. Why would anyone believe that? There were lots of blond people in the world!
... It was just, his mother had always steadfastly refused to talk about it, and while he didn't know what the mansion near the town had been used for, it'd been owned by the Shinra family before it'd been put into the company's service, everyone knew that.
Another glance he caught just in time, and Cloud suppressed a growl, fantasizing about going back in time and throwing his breakfast at the gossipers. It was really hard to focus on his job like this!
