"I'm sorry," Cloud muttered, glancing down. It wasn't her fault he'd recently seen his home town being burned down, but it was also just... days ago. He shook his head, pushing the thoughts away.

"... that sounds... kind of like summons," he said slowly, frowning, "but I don't know if summons live anywhere than the materia they're called from. Since materia are small pieces of experience and memories from the Lifestream."

Crossing his arms, Cloud looked at Terra for a moment, and thought it honestly a pity she'd lost her green hair. She would probably look very nice with it. It wasn't something he'd say, though.

"Wonder why you lost it... But if you got it from your Esper... parent, maybe that half didn't... agree with the Lifestream?"

Different magic, perhaps? Or something. Cloud didn't have a clue.
