If Cloud had any idea where her thoughts were going, he'd have things to say - corrections to make. But he's never been any kind of mind reader, and he doesn't see her reaction.
Her question gets him blinking up at her briefly, though, before he turns his gaze away again, flushing slightly. Sounds like he was too vague this time. "You already have. ...u-uh, both of 'em, actually."
He considers pausing there to gauge her reaction, but no - this'll be easier if he just plows through it all at once. "One of them's Aerith. And...d'you remember Zack Fair?" Wait, shit-- "--u-um, he told me he met you. When we were in SOLDIER together. Anyway, he's here too, and..." He trails off, not sure how to come out and say it, so he just glances back up at her, both hands lightly wrapped around his cup.
