"Huh---?" Confusion coming out in a startled huff as Zack pulls him in, the hug is over before he has much of a chance to react to it, left wide-eyed and blinking for a moment. Belatedly, there's a very faint blush that Cloud immediately shakes away; he has become rather familiar with Zack's hugs over the last week, after all...
And maybe it's not so odd Zack would react that way to a question if he's okay. After all, only one of them is a SOLDIER here, and it's not Cloud... and Zack cares. But he does too, so why wouldn't he ask?
"... Um." Grimacing softly, Cloud shrugs. He almost says 'of course', but he can't quite manage it. Not after a week of tense confusion and waiting and then waking up here and it's an alien planet. And he's not wearing his clothes. Neither is Zack, though, so apparently these suits just come with the pods.
"There's... only us here, Zack," he finally says, frowning. Then realises how silly that sounds, and maybe a little childish, because his mom is surely perfectly fine back home, and quickly adds; "I mean, from anyone who was in Nibelheim. There are other people here..."
