"Nothing, Yuffie."

"Fine if you don't want to talk about it."

She seemed upset. And rightly so. Yuffie had no problems expressing the things that she felt, or showing her enthusiasm for what was happening. Cid never liked to. He clamed up and closed people off from him. He always felt that if he shared his heart with someone they would end up hurt or dead. His life had somewhat come to an end that day, and now he was more of a living dead.

They were still heading for the Great Glacier. This was home to some of the most dangerous creatures that inhabited the planet. Cid was always the cautious one, even though he was usually fairly confident. Despite how well they were equipped with materia and the weapons and accessories that they had available to him, he still always sided with caution, and that is why he has survived as long as he has.

"Cid?"

"Yes, Yuffie."

"How do you Morph? I have never used my Morph materia before."

She could see it in Cid's eyes. His unbearable frustration that she would wait until now to ask something so pivotal to them acquiring a Ribbon. A Ribbon was a much sought after accessory. The Ribbon had the power to reflect all status attacks, which was very effective in warding off many attacks from the creatures that roamed the Glacier.

"You have to be one with it."

"One with it?" She quizzically asked, cocking her head slightly, like a parrot studying someone. Not like she didn't understand what Cid was saying but more like she didn't expect Cid to say something like that.

"Yeah, one with it." He paused. Looked down at the hilt of his spear, and then looked back up at Yuffie. "You have to feel it inside of you. You can't just command it to Morph something. You have to know the right time . . . the exact moment to do it, or it won't work."

"Oh." She looked at Cid and smiled. It was a flirty smile. A smile that had messages behind it. A smile that meant more than just a happy grin.

Cid found himself staring at Yuffie for a moment. A flush warm feeling came across the back of his neck, before he realized that he was staring at her . . . at her . . .

"Well, I guess we'd better get on to Icicle Inn and get us a room before we head to the Glacier." He also noticed that he was staring at Yuffie when he said it, and again looked at his spear.

Yuffie smiled again. It wasn't just a smile.
