“Come on.” Cloud offered a gloved hand. “Let’s go up a little higher for a better view.” Tifa didn’t really need his help up the trail, but it was the intent behind the gesture that was important. He wanted to do this together, and he wanted to do something for Tifa, rather than her doing everything for him, for a change.
The lookout Cloud had in mind was just a brief walk up a gently twisting trail that led to an overlook. He’d spotted it thanks to the small gap in the trees that allowed for a spectacular view off the mountain. It would be nice, he reflected, if the Nibel mountains looked more like this one day, though he didn’t expect them to ever become so hospitable.
