"...That seems inefficient." It wasn't bad, but there was something alien and decadent about a shower that was anything other than bracingly cold. "Does this train really have so many free resources to spend on heating water for such a mundane purpose?"

Did the one in his small apartment, barely tested for anything but necessary cleaning, also turn warm? He hadn't bothered to find out. On was on, and it was good enough.

At least he's not being dressed in pastels. Black is nice, it hides a lot of dirt, almost all blood, fit in everywhere and matched everything. This would have resulted in Sephiroth fairly immediately finishing off his dry and getting dressed, but Cloud is still there, and Matt had made it very clear that people do not just strip with other people around, outside of locker settings. This. Is not a locker room.

Pants are dug out and he retreats with them. It's a good enough start, the rest would be well within the range of accepted public morality. Shirtless people were inevitably everywhere.

"Most people don't consider hot water a luxury. Maybe a little in the slums, but the issue there was more the quality, not the temperature." Because screw Shinra. "Nobody wants a freezing cold shower all the time. Except you, I guess?"

Cloud's patient as he waits for Sephiroth to go get changed and pokes around on the network, managing not to say something along the lines of being unsurprised that he takes showers as cold as he is.

Don't worry, kid, Cloud would never make anyone endure pastels.

Cloud wouldn't have cared if Sephiroth had just dried off and dressed right there - he's used to locker rooms and barracks and such - but he has no issue with modesty, either, if that's what the kid needs.

Here, without the distraction of the endless crush of other people, the faint sway of moving train is harder to miss, unfamiliar but not in a terrible way. He'd never been on another, if this was what they were all like, aside from the back carriages, maybe.. it wasn't terrible. "I don't know if it's something I 'want'. I didn't know it was an option."

This would require more testing at a later point in time, now was not an ideal time.

"Who am I expected to speak to about gaining a profession?" Cloud would surely know, or he wouldn't have dragged the boy out of the dregs as he did. Libraries or sewing had been suggested, sort of, and he was willing to try either willingly enough, fighting momentarily with a sock. Some of the clothing didn't fit perfectly but not everything was tailored to his exact needs, so it was just fine. "..Additionally, what plans?"
