Genesis leans on Rapier's hilt, looking smug for a long moment. That glare is hardly intimidating to begin with, and even less when Cloud is in such a position.
"An adhesive? In a rock?" Genesis' tone drips with skepticism, but it'd hardly be the weirdest thing about this place. So he sighs, and picks Rapier up to approach Cloud. "Ah, I suppose it is always a SOLDIER's duty to help those in need."
Raising the blade, Genesis means to cut the rock away just above Cloud's hands in the hope the shattering impact will free him. Except when the blade meets stone, it stops so suddenly it sends a shock up the redhead's shoulder.
"What in the-" he tugs at the runeblade, and finds her stuck fast in the honey colored stone. There's no damn rock that should ever be stronger than a SOLDIER; this is ridiculous- but sure enough Rapier refuses to come free, and Genesis has to dismiss the blade back into her summoning materia to get it back. "Fine, I'll give you that: the rocks are peculiar."
Leaning forward, he sets a hand on Cloud's back. Not touching the stuff is imperative, but he needs to be able to see around him. Cloud is already stuck, so using him as a separator is surely fine, right? Don't mind the fact Genesis is overly warm, and intimately close. As close as he dares to try to observe if there's any hint of some trap or triggering mechanism that has caused the rocks to be like this. But he can't spot anything damning.
"What have you tried in attempts to get lose?" Genesis asks, warm breath against Cloud's shoulder.
