but those people have pretty vested interests in how it should, right? i get it. it might be politics from a different world, but it's still politics. and that's something i unfortunately am getting better at understanding. if you need someone to listen to it, i don't mind.
[ Sutoku has been... 'good' to Cloud in some respects. ]
you seemed like you were trying to avoid getting into the weeds on some things, back when we first ran into each other. i would, too, if i had been in your shoes. i don't know if i have any questions about it, really. i guess, other than, well. anything we can do to help? beyond making sure emily keeps you healthy, i mean.
Oh... well, yes, I guess that particular secret's out. Haha. I just want to make sure I know my own limits before I commit to something too dangerous. I suppose... if there's one thing you might be able to do to help, could you not spread this information around? About my heart, I mean. And what might happen to it.
It's not something that absolutely needs to be a secret, or I wouldn't have told you, but... I don't want people to worry about me. Unless, well, it's their job to do it, I suppose.
well, it is my job to worry about you. but if you're handling it, and you know your limits, i won't push the subject. just make sure you get a checkup by dyer. especially if you plan on volunteering for anything risky in the future.
[ By 'risky', he's making sure she knows that this should be done before any planned operations in the near or distant future. ]
beyond that is outside my wheelhouse. unless you're going to be looking to train up cardio so it's not as much a problem?
You've done more than enough to earn my trust, Cloud. I'll check in with Dr. Dyer, and I'll make sure that's the first thing I do. You know how I feel about making myself a liability.
[they consider the idea of training...]
Building up cardio has always struck me as a bad idea, since exercise usually means... well, exertion. But if I have someone who doesn't mind watching me to make sure I don't hurt myself, it could work.
well, if you don't mind waiting a few weeks to get started. i do have a training hall for sutokus where they can get ready for big combat operations. i can't imagine we won't be able to work in some cardio there. build up your endurance a little bit. maybe make it so you aren't worrying about your heart all the time.
but, uh, definitely get the all-clear from dr. dyer first, yeah?
I like that idea. I definitely don't mind waiting to get started. I'll be using that time to get as clean a bill of health as possible, after all. I'll probably be starting my training with Marie around the same time, so I can just make a regular schedule out of it.

i appreciate the trust, levi. really.

Let's do this, Cloud.
