If there's one thing no one need ever fear from Sephiroth, it's boisterous encouragement. There are much worse things to fear, where Sephiroth is concerned, but he doesn't mean to do any harm at present.

It's possible that it's the older, harsher Cloud that interested Sephiroth initially, but he doesn't mention it, far too circumspect for that. How would he bring it up? Say he's dreamed of him before? That sounds--ridiculous. A little like Cloud himself, the general isn't the greatest conversationalist. Though unsurprisingly, no one criticizes him for that, and his enigmatic, imposing air goes a long way toward rendering the trait unnoticeable.

"It's no trouble. It's none of your doing. Something has brought our subconscious minds together, that's all." He doesn't often have the chance to speak freely himself, though he's limited in very different ways. "I'm simply asleep and dreaming, which I would be in any case."
