Zack just took it a step further. And keeps doing so. How does Zack keep finding these little things to use against him? He can't even fully rebute it as it is not something thats happened for him yet. So he still doesn't know the why. But he's sure its not that.

He pries Zack away just a little, still staying close.

"Again with the assumptions ..."

He pays no mind to Cloud watching even if he finds having an audience awkward. He'll just ignore it.
