"Well, he's from some other world, maybe he just runs on different laws of physics or something, y'know?" he says with a shrug. But point taken. He's not sure just what Sephiroth is, either, if being a non-Earth human (Sephiroth had used the word human at one point in their conversation but Hawks isn't sure if he'd included himself in that description, come to think of it) meant something else, or what his deal was.

"Man, you got all kinds of stories, huh?"

He says this as if he can't rattle off just as many absolutely batshit things just as easily. He doesn't have as many childhood things; after the Commission took him and his mom in, it was all training, very tightly controlled, but in the few years since he went pro, it's been one thing after another, really. Even the past few months have been pretty unbelievable.
