[ though Klee might not be the best at wrapping bandages, she can at least be an extra set of hands. if there's one thing she likes more than blowing things up for fun, it's lending a helping hand to those that need it. ]

Yeah! He's really good at slashing stuff, and he looks really cool when he's using it. [ nod nod! that means you're cool too, Cloud. ] Isn't it heavy to carry around like that, though?

[ and she thought her backpack was heavy! but homemade bombs definitely don't compare to swinging around a blade like that, and she can't imagine how strong both Razor and this guy must be if they can do it with ease. ]

Oh... okay! That makes sense. [ she has to giggle a little at that; as much as she wants to learn how to fly, he has a point. ] I'll be over there if you need help again!

[ she points over to her space in the training area, containing that aforementioned singed earth and burnt training materials. with a wave goodbye, she skips back over to resume her bomb tests. ]

[ Klee's a sweet kid. Even when he was an Ex-SOLDIER, on the surface he gave off an atmosphere that lots of children seemed to gravitate towards. In his mind? He was just trying to be tough and cool, upholding the image of a strong hero that Shinra's elite were publicly known to be. But despite all of that, even before he wound up finding his true sense of self, there was something fulfilling in lifting the spirits of kids.

To her question on whether it's heavy, he spares a glance over his shoulder to the handle, ultimately shaking his head. ]

Not this one. [ A beat. ] I have an even bigger one back at my house. But that one's from my world. Still not strong enough to fight with that one yet.

[ But with the help of Kinetic magic...perhaps he can. Cloud did entrust the Fusion Sword to Weiss since Kinetic magic was her first branch of power here. With that answered however, he lightly smiles and nods when she giggles with understanding. ]

[ "I'll be over there if you need help again!" ]

Sure thing... [ Ah- Just as she waves goodbye, he was about to ask for her name and give his when she was already skipping on back over to her...

[ wait ]

?!

[ He knows he shouldn't judge a book by its cover and all, but, color him curious. Keeping a respectful distance, rolling one of his shoulders again as he felt he landed on it wrong, the look of surprise on his face hasn't wanted. If Klee wasn't practicing Elemental Magic on its own, then...just what did she have in that backpack of hers? Such a large, scorched space of precursor destruction a training ground and there she is, without a care in the world. ]

You do all this?

[ He sounds surprised more than anything. ]

[ considering Klee's natural gravitation towards cool older sibling types, it's no wonder Cloud caught her eye! it helps that his little blunder made him even more approachable, and he's kind to boot. a new friend is a new friend (even if she's forgotten to introduce herself again...), but she's sure they'll cross paths again. with a big sword like that, he's hard to miss! ]

Even bigger? Wow... I bet you'll be able to do it in no time, though!

[ she has faith in your muscles, Cloud. and off she goes to wreak more explosive havoc... until he speaks up again, and she turns around. ]

Uh-huh! I was practicing with my new explodey formulas.

[ and as such, a short ways away from the blasted areas is, indeed, a small pile of what appears to be undetonated bombs. ]
