Undeniably glad that Gladio knew his way around better than he did Cloud responded with a nod, letting him take the lead. While there was no denying that Cloud was withdrawn en route to the motel, this didn't mean it was awkward. Bravado aside there was something bright-eyed and keen about the blond as he quietly observed the surrounding, sight lingering on things that he took interest in (like two kids play fighting down one alleyway).
When they finally arrived a mix of feeling self-conscious about his height and what the motel staff might say about this semi-embrace made Cloud try to shrug out of Gladio's grip. "I'm not an armrest." he complained, although there wasn't much annoyance to the comment, it felt more like an excuse than a criticism.
