[ Cloud sighs and rubs the bridge of his nose. He'd just wanted to relax, god damnit. He should have known better than to bring Sephiroth around other people.
Once Sephiroth starts walking again, Cloud marches after him and grabs his wrist, giving it a hard tug. ]
C'mon. You don't actually give a shit about those people. You're just trying to fuck with me. Well, congrats, it's working. That what you want to hear?
[He looks down at his wrist and then over at Cloud. While he doesn't look exactly offended that he was grabbed like that, he doesn't look extremely happy either. He does, however, stop.]
Actually, yes. And you're right, the humans there mean very little to me. But they seem to mean something to you. Is that your heroic desire to save everyone?
They don't have to mean something to me for me to not want them dead. That's like, basic human stuff. You don't need to be a hero or whatever to not want senseless murder to happen.
[ He gives him a light tug. ] C'mon. If you want a fight, we can spar or something later. But you agreed to give this a chance.
You did wish for me to find enjoyment during our time here, did you not?
[And his enjoyment comes from Cloud's suffering. He makes no verbal comment about the second part, but he is looking rather smug. Cloud being motivated to fight him is something to look forward to.]
Terrorizing you is much more enjoyable than anything else.
[He makes no remark either way about the water, but he does eye Cloud and then glance out towards the ocean as if considering it. Though Cloud will probably have to actually edge him in that direction. He should have never agreed to this truce.
And to make everything worse, he can't even complain about it.]
[Which he says while being totally pulled towards the water against his choice. Because that's what Cloud is doing and not just kinda tugging him in that direction.]
[Fine, he'll get into the water. Just be glad he isn't going to be petty and pull out the wing because that's certainly something that'd incite a panic as it is highly noticeable from a distance.]
What is fun about this to you? This is not a complaint, it is an actual question.
[He doesn't quite understand why this is seen as 'relaxing' but he probably never quite understood the concept to begin with. Though he follows Cloud into the water, once in it becomes rather apparent how much deeper Sephiroth would be able to go out than him. ]
Imagine if the leviathan was in this area, would people still come here to relax?
[Yes, Cloud. Lets talk about the big water monsters. While in the water.]
[He'd have to go out pretty far to get that deep. Even following Cloud, it's not even close to his chest.]
I'm sure something is lurking in the deep.
[He lets out a 'hmpth' before moving a hand through the water in order to send it right into Cloud. Not in any sort of playful or teasing manner, not in the slightest.]
His thoughts are interrupted when when Sephiroth suddenly splashes water at him. He raises an eyebrow. Is Sephiroth being... playful? Well then. Cloud smirks and sends a wave of water right back at him. ]
[He's totally not being playful, it was an aggressive action which Cloud has now returned. But because Sephiroth is a complete asshole, he lifts a hand to cast a low form of blizzard around where Cloud is standing in the water. Just to freeze him a little.]
[ Cloud stares at Sephiroth for a moment, not sure if he should laugh or get mad. Luckily, thanks to growing up in the cold mountains of Nibelheim, he's fairly used to the cold and isn't easily fazed by it.
All the same, he kind of wishes his materia wasn't with his bike which is parked on the beach. Of course Sephiroth doesn't even need materia to cast...
Instead he moves out of the cold spot and full on splashes water straight into Sephiroth's face. ]
[How dare he. Sephiroth gets splashed directly in the face looking like an aggravated cat as a result. An aggravated wet cat with the way his bangs are now covered in water.
He raises a hand again. If Cloud does nothing to stop him he's going to freeze the younger man fully into the water. Because he's petty like that.]
[ Cloud snorts at the sight of Sephiroth like that. He looks so pissed, but it's hard to take seriously when he's dressed in swim shorts and with wet bangs hanging in front of his face.
When Sephiroth lifts his hand, Cloud suspects he's going to do something again, and so he dives out of the way. ]

I was about to, but I guess I gotta make sure you don't kill people while we're here.
[ Sephiroth is like a murderous toddler that Cloud has to keep constant watch over to make sure he doesn't do something stupid. Exhausting. ]
no subject
Who said I was going to kill anyone? Though I suppose if something were to happen, I would have to defend myself, no?
[Like anyone (other than Cloud) can do anything to him.]
no subject
The only one who could hurt you is me, so sit your ass down. Or come swimming with me. But I won't have you harrassing random people.
no subject
So then stop me.
[And with that he goes to step around Cloud and continue on his original path.]

It's not senseless if there is a goal in mind.
[Goal being: piss Cloud off.
But he does turn to back in the other direction as Cloud has won this current battle.]
I may hold you to that sparring idea later though.
no subject
[ He lets out a low sigh of relief when Sephiroth at least starts to turn back in the direction they'd come from. ]
That's fine. I'm feeling pretty motivated to beat your ass anyway.
no subject

Are you still going to get into the water?
no subject
[ Cloud sighs a little, still sticking close to Sephiroth. ]
That's the plan. Why don't you join me?
no subject

no subject
Of course you'd say that.
[ He oh so gently grabs around Sephiroth's wrist and gives him a slight tug towards the water. ]
C'mon. Swimming's what most people come to the beach for. At least give it a chance.
no subject
[Which he says while being totally pulled towards the water against his choice. Because that's what Cloud is doing and not just kinda tugging him in that direction.]
no subject
[ Since Sephiroth isn't trying to get out of his hold he continues to lead him towards the water. ]
no subject

It's relaxing.
[ At least it's supposed to be. Right now it's a bit hard to relax while having to babysit a homicidal lunatic with a god complex. ]
no subject
Imagine if the leviathan was in this area, would people still come here to relax?
[Yes, Cloud. Lets talk about the big water monsters. While in the water.]
no subject
Probably not, but I don't see any water monsters anywhere. Well, except for you, I guess.
[ He smirks a little as he wades deeper into the water, until it's up to his chest. ]
no subject
I'm sure something is lurking in the deep.
