"You're probably the only one I'll meet."

Cloud shrugs; there's a slight hesitation before he responds. "Nothing that exciting. The last war was over before I enlisted. Mostly just got sent on whatever random missions they needed someone like me for. Armed escort, reactor inspections, catching fugitives..."

"...that's it."

Of course this isn't going to satisfy Zechs, who already knows there must be more to it given how they met, but Cloud just stops there.
