Genesis intertwines their fingers. Sephiroth... he inhales through his nose, and then exhales, to steady himself. Focus. They are deserting the most powerful military on the planet right now, and in the process, stealing their most valuable asset. (Yet, he can't let go. Not yet. He wants to spar with Genesis again.) So far, walking has conserved their energy.
"We can't enter the town proper," he says in an undertone. The wash of the river churns to the side of the path here, and below them, and masks quiet conversation. They would have to shout to be heard by Zack, tailing them at a respectful distance (again, Zack deciding he would rather not show Genesis his back), or Cloud and Tifa, leading the group.
Unlike Tifa, Cloud Strife has not turned around once, his shoulders so tight that they almost stand to lift his helmet off his head. Already a nervous personality, he is clearly Very Aware that this situation is the kind of irregular that might get him on the nightly news, if he is unlucky.
Sephiroth continues, "We can break off to enter the mansion. But at that point, I think you get to tell me what the plan is, considering I just resigned my commission."
