The Cloud that Cid knows is a taciturn young man, prone to alienating himself and brooding in secrecy. As a result, he knows very little of Cloud's history, especially between the fall of their world and the creation of the Restoration Committee.

Feeling confident about his whereabouts in Crystallis, Cid begins folding up the map. "He probably met 'em before we met up," he concludes. "He had nine years to make friends in other places. That explains all his fancy moves out in the field. You ever seen him fight? He's quick, I'll give him that."

Picking up a bit of speed, the man moves up to Ven's side to return his map with a quick, "Thanks."
