"I wasn't suggesting we leave anyone behind, but there are people further north. Isn't your friend over on an island somewhere, Tidus? And the little girl, Eiko, she's up north." Cloud shook his head slightly, crossing his arms. "Staying down here is only going to prolong their wait."

He shifted his weight, a little anxiously at that. "I'm sure that there are rescue teams going out, but Galbadia Garden is enormous. Isn't it better we make a sweep of this continent then head for the Mist Continent and see who else needs picking up?" The very fact they seemed to assume he was being selfish enough to want to head home without rescuing other people had seriously irritated him, but sometimes he knew he came across the wrong way.

He was just a difficult person to understand and everyone took him the wrong way once in a while. Even Tifa, although that was rare. He wanted to rescue people just as much as everyone else, but they had taken him wrong.
