[Will Graham...yeah, he knows that guy. The Interventionist who works with Malcolm. Is that his name?
Right, the breach. When he was back in San Otrera. Even here, though, he's gotta keep his head up. So people can keep looking to him as a problem solver. As someone who'll keep their city - or their boat - safe. Even if things aren't the way they should be, he can still do that. Right?
When he replies again, his voice itself hasn't changed, but there's something about the tone, the energy, that's shifted.]
[ Will rubs his eyes with his free hand, then moves on to his temples. ]
Yeah, somehow I don't entirely believe that. You're not the Star Officer from San Otrera here. You can be not okay. A lot of people are a mess here.
[ Okay, even he can recognize that he sucks at this right now. The Breach didn't do much for his 'wardenly' attitude. ]
Sorry, I just...things are probably going to be...sliding back and forth for you for a week or a few weeks. You probably have some San Otrera traits still lingering in you.
[Fortunately, it takes a lot to really ruffle Cloud's feathers if your name isn't Sephiroth, so he doesn't take offense at Will's tone or anything. Unfortunately, what Will says just slots neatly right into the gaps between 'then' and 'now.']
No, I can't. I... [He lowers his voice a bit.] Um...you sure this is a secure line?
