[The cuff's only really enough to send a few of his steps stray, and it's met with a faint roll of the shoulder and a quiet sound. It's something that, with other people, he'd make something of- either with a Look or some retort, but with Zack he doesn't mind it. Of course he doesn't- it's reminiscent of something else, long ago... and honestly, no matter how predisposed to aggression he seemed to be recently, he can't see it as anything but friendly.
Regardless, and as his shoulder bumps against Zack's in some form to retaliation-]
Later, hopefully. Look... Who I'm bonded with, [Sephiroth.] He's got a witch. My guess is that when this thing's done, that magic goes into me, and then into you. [Not ideal. Far from, actually. but better than nothing.] Besides, there's a ton of monster bonds that're fine for a long time before anything happens.
[Of course, it'd played on his mind. Not just because it related to Zack. More like with Aerith gone it applied to him, too. He needed to find a witch, and he doesn't have the fortune to be anything like Zack with getting along with people.
It's a worry. But himself is a worry for another time.]
So let's see how this goes. We've got time. Alright?
