[Sephiroth isn't about to back down, and he isn't in the least intimidated by any glowering on Cloud's part. But then, he is fairly difficult to intimidate, if just as difficult to antagonize. Fighting with other children is one thing that is very bad to do, he knows. They're weak, so he should be polite.]
I'm from Midgar.
[Sephiroth says this, but it doesn't sound right. Has he always lived in Midgar? No, Midgar isn't even finished, and the location of the lab has changed more than once. Maybe he doesn't know where he's from, but he lives in Midgar now.]
Were you born here?
[He's used to the researchers, to following them, peppering them with questions. When he was very small, he was quiet, but for the past two or three years he's been--not talkative exactly, but almost aggressively curious. The researchers usually answer his questions, unless the answer is classified.]
What is that?
[Sephiroth wasn't about to miss Cloud's small burden.]
I am, it's true.
