"Sounds like settling to me," Cloud grumbles, scrunching his nose at the friendship comment. Whatever. This guy really seems to like messing with people. That knowing smirk throws the blond for a loop momentarily. His eyes flick to the ground beneath his feet. At the very least, there are no bees in bonnets or chocobo fluff, thanks to Angeal.

"Thinking this through kinda hard for a basic stranger, huh?" Cloud says out of the side of his mouth, shrugging. "There's food in the town I can work for. Housing available-" Really, he just needs a bed to crash in. No frills, just that is enough for him, he thinks. Or will insist, awkward as he is. "With that sorted already, I see no other problems but putting in the real work. Day-to-day will figure itself out as I go and get a lay of things. I travel enough to know that."

Is he really arguing his case with this smartass?

...Granted, Angeal does have a lot of good points. Kinds of things he would think through if he wasn't a fish out of water. Probably.
