"Yeah," shrugging, Cloud casts a frown behind them, even as they are clearly walking away from whatever newly gathered monsters have some close to this cleared area, "stayed in worse, so if that's where they want us..."

Another shrug. Not that the army barracks had been terrible or anything, but it could be a lot better, too. He throws another frown over his shoulder, biting his lip.

"... hope no one else walks right into that..."

But Cloud doesn't stop to leave, or tell his companion they should go back, or that he needs to go on alone - that's not how escorting people works, and just because it's more silent here (less water, too), doesn't mean there might not be trouble until they get to whatever drop-off point the supplies Victor are carrying are supposed to go to.
