After the introductions they decided to leave the alleys in case anymore monsters turned up.

" So are you from around here?", Nero asked, he was now a little bit calmer now after conversing with the man for a little while. But he still kept his defences up just to be on the safe side.

" I guess you could say that, I stay in Midgar just near to here…I originally came from a town called Nibelheim though." Cloud responded, he sounded quite depressed when he mentioned this "Nibelheim" place. To be honest Nero wasn't paying much attention. Instead he was staring at Cloud's eyes…he found them entrancing.

"What are you looking at?" Cloud asked starting to sound pretty pissed off. Nero immediately snapped out of his trance.

"Huh, nothing I just thought…you had like something on your face.

Nero mentally slapped himself that had to be the worst excuse ever, this Cloud guy will probably think he's retarded now or worse…

"Okay then…" Though it seemed that it didn't really bother Cloud, which surprised Nero greatly.

"…So did you come here with anyone?" Cloud asked looking up at the festival lanterns hanging over head, he looked as if he was in deep thought.

"Huh…" Nero was again surprised at such a question, he'd just met the guy and now he's asking him questions like that?! There was something about this guy Nero couldn't put his finger on but he couldn't help but stare at him.

"Your doing it again." Cloud sighed what is with this guy why is he keep staring at me…

" Huh? Oh sorry my bad. Once again Nero mentally slapped himself, he has got to stop doing that. "Anyways yeah, I came here with my friend Dante.

"Ah I see, so why are you guys here anyways, you both here for the festival?" Cloud questioned he was starting to be quite intrigued by this white haired man.

Festival? Nero thought well that explains the crowds, and the people singing and dancing. Nero wasn't really one for festivals…he didn't like crowds.

"Nah, I don't really like festivals too crowded, were here for a vacation, according to Dante I need to take a break." Nero hated to admit it but Dante was right he needed to relax for a bit after the events of Fortuna and Sanctus he's been really distant from everyone. Especially after Kyrie had left.

"Well you've came to the wrong place, Kalm is known for its Parties and Festivals not for being a quiet town." Cloud replied, he noticed that Nero was staring into space it looked as if something was bothering him…he knew it probably wasn't any of his business but he wanted to know what was wrong.

"Something wrong?" Cloud eyed Nero, his expression was a sad one…he looked upset.

"Oh no, its nothing just thinking of back home." his voice was quite low…he sounded weak…

Cloud decided not to push the subject, it was obvious that Nero didn't want to talk about it so he left it at that.

The two men continued walking and were totally oblivious to the fact that someone was following them…
