[Yuffie's called Cloud way worse things than "stupid idiot who can't think," so it doesn't sting too much even if it's in Sephiroth's annoying teenage voice. Cloud's still going to tell him off for the insult (because truth curse or whatever, but also he just wants to) when Sephiroth plows onward and says that.
Cloud stares for a few seconds before clapping a hand over his mouth and ducking his head, shoulders hunched. He shakes, almost as if he's crying until the hand over his mouth moves to hold his gut, his other hand propping himself up against a nearby food stall (much to the chagrin of the spirit running it) as he laughs. Not even just a small chuckle or a snort; no, it's a steady, low, sardonic thing, out of place and grating. The spirit at the stall is now eyeballing Cloud with concern instead of just irritation.
Of course Vincent's been painting Cloud as some kind of- bedtime story hero, to Sephiroth of all people. Of course he has.]
