Yeah, well, I never relied on luck anyway.

[ A true SOLDIER gets by on their skill alone! Nevermind the fact that he's definitely survived some things by sheer luck. ]

Everything I ever won was by my own hand.

[ From Jules' challenges to Rhodea's... earrings... but she doesn't need to know about any of that. ]

[Well, she doesn't have to know about it, sure... but she does.

Tifa's hands clasp around his for a moment before she steps away, careful not to slip on any of the "prizes" covering the floor, her grin only widening as she looks away—anywhere but at Cloud.]

By your own hand? [ ... ] Not your hips?

[memorate]

Huh?

[ Since he has no reason to suspect she's referencing that incident, he appears to be confused as he checks his own hips after her comment. Is there something going on with his hips?

He would ask her, but that would mean admitting that he doesn't know what she's talking about. He never likes to admit that he's clueless! ]

What kinda merc do you take me for?
