[Nods after Zack with that; they'd talked about it after all. The two of them, they can get along just fine with a couple swords and their SOLDIER durability. Aerith doesn't even have a staff here.]
Zack, [Cloud interrupts softly, reaching across Aerith to touch his arm really quick,] I get what she's saying. It sucks, having to rely on other people to protect you.
[Zack opens his mouth to object, scowling in Cloud's direction, but between that and Aerith's words, he's outnumbered on this one. He doesn't want to go picking a dumb fight when they're here trying to cheer Aerith up, and... yeah, okay, he can understand the feeling well enough. He'd hate it if he wasn't able to fight, either.
He just needs to get used to this new, combat-ready Aerith.]
...Okay, fine. It's all yours, and you can have my Thunder, too.

You can have my Cure materia too, if you want it. Don't have it on me right now but I'll get it to you ASAP.

You're plenty useful without materia. Don't say that.

I'm not as useful as I could be. I know you're my bodyguards, but I want to take care of myself, too.
