Squall's expression darkens almost similarly. He wonders about Caraway. After what NORG said about Galbadia Garden using them as scapegoats. But that still proves her point. He used the plan to throw them under the bus to his advantage.

He tilts his head and shakes it lightly. "Cid's only plan was finishing what Edea told him. I didn't get to tell her a lot." He'll commend Cid for Garden and SeeD turning out the way it did, but he remembers that man hiding in the infirmary, eyes red and puffy from panicked crying during NORG's takeover attempt. "I don't think he really knew what he was doing, but he loved matron enough to keep going." Until he could foist it all off on Squall.

He's seen the man at his weakest. It's hard to retain any respect he ever had for their headmaster. As for Laguna, he just presses his lips together in a hard expression. His... father. Yeah, that's another bridge he's not sure how to cross.

He relaxes slightly when she continues, huffing out an amused air.

"Yeah, you taught me that." He doesn't do it well most of the time. He has to think. It's how he works, but there's merit to being impulsive. There's a small smile. "I'll just have to keep up."
