"I don't know what you're talking about," Cloud says, following her, "aren't you the one leading me?"
The flirting alone is enough to cheer him up a bit, and as soon as the cool air hits his face and the door shuts out the noise, he feels more like his normal self again. He walks over to the railing, braces his arms against it - for a second, it looks like he's relaxing. Then he glances over his shoulder to make sure Yuffie's watching, before scrambling up and seating himself on the edge.
"You weren't kidding about the view!"
The railing is thick, and his sense of balance is good, and the height and distance stretching down beneath him, almost like it's trying to compel him to fling himself off into it, is thrilling in exactly the right way. He pats the spot next to him and - more carefully than he makes it look - turns around to offer Yuffie a hand up.
