"Ah, good. It's good to know that at least a decent number of familiar faces will be relatively nearby. It seems that most of the people who we know that are here are rather scattered across the lands. And some seem to have disappeared suddenly and unceremoniously, such as Cloud and Barret... and Vincent," he added with a remorseful sigh. It still hurt knowing that one of the people who he was the closest to ended up leaving so shortly after he arrived in this land. The feeling would surely fade over time, but for now, the feeling was still rather fresh. "Still, there are some familiar faces around, which is good."
"'The rest of the company', you say? I see. Well, that, and the direction you're walking seems to hint that you'll be meeting Rufus. He seems to be doing well, but I'm sure that is no surprise to those of us who know him. He could be dropped naked in the middle of a mile-square midden heap and inside 6 months he'd have a 4-bedroom house, probably servants, and some kind of business making more money in a week than some people see in a year." Reeve chuckled. It was an exaggeration of the abilities of his former boss and benefactor - but not by too much.
"Still, he does seem a little... stressed. Maybe it's this new world that we apparently are in. Maybe I just saw him at the wrong time. But something just didn't feel right. I'm not sure what. I'll head back there sometime soon and talk to him again. It was probably my imagination. But I figured you probably would want to at least know. I'd join you now, but I think you'll probably want to meet with your people alone first. We can catch up on more the next time we talk."
