[ He'll snort out something between an affirmation and a bark of laughter, as he looks Aerith over. She didn't look as worried as she did a moment ago — and to Cloud, that was mission accomplished. Maybe she was burying it deeper not to trouble him, but well. Hopefully, the reassurance was enough, as he closes the distance between them again, following Aerith's gaze out to the crowd. ]
Not if they know what's good for them.
[ He doesn't say it loud enough for the other Enma officers to hear. Cloud has friends in the Enma, but well. Once bitten, twice shy - Enma might not be Shinra, but they filled the same societal role, here in Jigoku. It meant he was a lot less willing to trust those he didn't know directly, like Bakugou, or Eula, or Cain. ]
[ In truth, Cloud was going to get interrogated later, likely same as Aerith - a Tamamo sub-lieutenant and Sutoku officer would be on the short list eventually. But that didn't mean either of them had to like it. ]
We won't be able to avoid them forever, but I doubt they'll rake us over the coals, given everything we've done. The Enma more than anyone has proof of that.
