"Okay," Cloud says softly, nodding even if he's frowning, still. But he understands the reasoning, because it's the same one for why he didn't, in the end, give in and take a sword with him even with them available. He knows he's not good enough yet with them to use as well in a real fight as he can firearms. Swords take longer to learn, if you want to do it well. It just means he has to make sure the man's safe, if they get attacked, that's all.

Not like he hasn't had escort duty before - and Cloud's just going to ignore the memories of how that first mission had ended. Focuses instead on placing himself in what's hopefully the best position, now that Victor's slowed down a little.

"Just thought to make sure. Weapons aren't necessary to run supplies, but..." shaking his head, Cloud glances up, and then blinks and looks away again, into the direction he's pretty sure those noises are coming from, "Um... I've only been here a few days. Heard they needed help yesterday."
