Sephiroth glanced back at the smirk and the words that Cloud spoke. While he'd never admit to it, they both knew that was the truth, and he wouldn't deny it even if he wouldn't admit to it. That was why he gave a half-glare, half-pout in response to Cloud's words before turning his attention back towards their surroundings.

"Perhaps, but it will tell us if there's anything in our path as well," Sephiroth muttered in a hope to save some dignity while Cloud followed behind him. The hold around his waist had him momentarily flashing his gaze down before it returned to their path. It was... nice... Sephiroth thought while the hold around him tightened.

"I didn't think such things would be possible in this world," he thoughtfully murmured. He would have touched Cloud in return, but he didn't want to lower his guard. "Are you... okay with that?"
