༊⋆。˚ capturing her own attention , the older females eyes widened —- if she knew sora then perhaps there was a ( slight ) glimmer of hope that it could lead her to the man in question . ❛ oh , no no —- his name is cloud . you know sora though ? ❜ gentle tone full of intrigue , wonder locked within those ruby hues . she noted the own flicker of hope within the redheads gaze . ❛ are you looking for him too ? ❜
the question caught her off guard & an expression that spoke of confusion spread across her face at the description. ❛ are you...talking about sora? ❜ the last thing she expected was for someone to ask kairi if she'd seen him, considering it had been the other way around since his disappearance. she did her best to smother the hope she felt before she had more information. the sudden introduction clearly caught her off guard, & she attempted to shake the confusion away. ❛ oh! um–––– kairi. it's nice to meet you! ❜

༊⋆。˚ sharp tone had her losing her composure momentarily , eyes widening for a split second before choosing not to retaliate . in this kind of setting , they needed allies , not enemies . ❛ i’m tifa .. he’s a friend of mine . ❜ she didn’t expect the other to know her , she just w o r r i e d for the blondes whereabouts . even here , she wondered if he’d be chasing sephiroth . the thought unsettling . doe hues focused back on the male , ❛ squall , right ? ❜
slate blue eyes look up at the voice, confusion briefly flashing on his face at the woman's words. he hardly knew anyone in this world, and while that was to be said for most of the other warriors, some of them had companions from their own world here as well. it almost makes him jealous. but how did she know cloud ? he says nothing at first, before sighing and shrugging. ❝ who wants to know ? he's not here. ❞

༊⋆。˚ having lived here for short of five years now —- unless you had some form of reputation ; the slums weren’t a walk in the park . people spoke their mind . angry at the world living under a metal plate where all the rich above swanned about in the masses of their luxuries . noting a couple of people pointing and staring ( quick to turn away when tifa scowled ) , she gestured for the female to follow her . ❛ i own a bar just up the road , please .. join me . you look like you need some good food and refreshments . ❜
Unsure of her surroundings, the blonde dancer lets out a sigh. Again she found herself somewhere new and out of her element, but she couldn't help but to be reminded of Lowtown in the presence of wherever she was. She'd been forced to seek residence there not long after Archadia had conquered her home and the dimlit passages reminded her of the dreary area where she was now. Sticking out like a sore thumb, she wished she had brought a change of clothes, and she jumps ever so slightly upon being addressed. turning she has a vague recollection of meeting the other woman before, but Penelo just shrugs it off. "Yes, actually. I guess you could say that I'm more than a 'little' lost. I don't know where I am at all! My name's Penelo, by the way!"

༊⋆。˚ they hadn’t had much time to ( truly ) get to know one another —- despite their mutual & respective relationships . tifa had b r i e f l y met him when she was fifteen back in nibelheim but she was a naive kid back then ; spunky attitude to boot . partially wondering if he viewed her in a negative light due to her actions back then . yet now ? she had been forced to mature . no longer looking at the world through rose tinted glasses . ❛ .. i do . makes me feel like everything’s alright in the world . ❜ small smile offered to the older male , worry evident on her features . ❛ i never meant what i said , y’know —- back in nibelheim .. ❜
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐡, a hole still adoring the roof where cracks of sunlight peek through, proof of zack’s short life. existence in the lifestream was a constant shift of jittering consciousness. still, when the once soldier finds himself in a state of awareness, he often finds himself here… though it’s unusual to be noticed by anyone within the church’s walls. ❛❛ sometimes ❜❜ he answered, a smile pulling at the mako - eyed man. tifa had been a good friend to both aerith and cloud, something he’d forever be grateful for. ❛❛ do you ? ❜❜

༊⋆。˚ panic settled within her core as gaze blearily force focused on her surroundings . everything from before was a blur aside from the prominent feeling of being engulfed in a pool of mako . swallowed wholly by the emerald veins of the planet . it was only the heaviness she fully remembered , pulling her down until unconsciousness took over . now as she woke up amid the blossoms and whispered spirits —- confusion set in . doe hues flickering amongst foreign sights yet the beauty captured her ; piqued her interest .
❛ where am i ? ❜ voice hoarse , the trails of time catching up , exhaustion taking over dainty figure . weakly , she pushed herself up —- visions arousing curiosity . speaking to no one in particular . yet , as she wandered aimlessly , she met with a woman , rose coloured locks c a s c a d i n g down her back ; a vision of beauty . the monks desperation evident ‘pon lack of interaction . ❛ can you help me —- ? ❜ fear overwhelming her , her body didn’t feel like it was fully there , like her soul had ascended alone . the weightlessness physical yet mentally , she felt as though she were being crushed .

༊⋆。˚ the last thing tifa wanted was to seem like she was treading on the others toes nor did she wish to come across as telling her what to do —- it was simply the genuine concern of the monsters that lingered around these parts ; some stronger than others . ❛ it’s not that i don’t think you can take them .. it’s just best not to exert energy , y’know ? ❜ their trek had been a long one & while mina had opted for the shortcut , the younger had lived around these parts much too long to risk . shinra personal often guarded these areas but creatures weren’t the only thing lurking . ❛ scavengers can be pretty brutal around these parts —- some do the dirty work for don corneo . it’s not worth the hassle . ❜

' this is for your own good ' The words really caught her by surprise, she even had to think for a moment about that phrase, maybe it seemed a little strange to her because she doesn't remember the last time someone said such a thing or perhaps cared about her in a way. She looked at the other woman a little perplexed, she even blinked a couple of times but the disbelief on her face did not disappear. ❛ my own good ? ❜ the words came out of her mouth without even thinking. ❛ what makes you believe that ? i really don't understand what's giving you such impression . ❜

one would assume she’d be used to ( such ) antics now but .. she wasn’t . wholeheartedly , every time yuffie said s o m e t h i n g , she felt herself on tenterhooks —- yet , she adored her . the younger sister she had always wanted . the one who could keep going and the monk would never tire . she was an asset to the team ; not just by her fighting skills . the upbeat energy and positivity was needed .
gaze softened despite the query faced . rosy tinted hue dusting the apples of her cheeks —- shy nature emitting . looking around aghast trying to find any form of topic change but as her eyes landed ‘pon the blonde , she quickly shook her head . ❛ .. nope !! it’s just lil ol’ me —- against the world . ❜
there was a teasing tone within her voice , heart pounding painfully against her ribcage ; almost afraid the ninja would hear it . the next question was sweet , her heart squeezing at the affection shown . ❛ i want you guys all to be safe and happy . is that so hard to believe ? ❜ tender smirk dancing across natural pout .
under the dim glow of the mog stop's lanterns, yuffie's energy is a stark contrast to the languid atmosphere. her enthusiasm bubbles forth, a vibrant stream of curiosity and playful intent. “ hey tifa! ” she exclaims, her tone a lively melody of mischief and sincerity, usual tactfulness swept away by the winds of impromptu bravado.
“ got a minute for a burning question? it's a juicy one! ” she leans in, “ so, spill it—got someone special? someone who sends your heart on a loop - de - loop? ” and she watches tifa closely, eager for any telltale sign of a secret crush hidden behind her always - composed façade.
but yuffie is all grins and winks, the embodiment of irrepressible curiosity. “ c'mon, you're always looking out for us, but what about what tifa wants? there's gotta be someone who flips your switch, right? ”

❛ you've been busy. the people around here love to chat. ❜
a smile is sent her way, warm & welcoming. visitors were always exciting. the tales some had to tell were quite fascinating. by the looks of the bunch that had just strolled in, they would have a lot of interesting things to say. she found herself intrigued ⸻ but the woman in front of her looked tired. the journey to the village itself could be extremely exhausting. so, she bends down to grab her something to drink ⸻ refreshing & caffeinated.
❛ on the house. you look like you need it. my name is Jill, I run the shop here. it's very nice to meet you. ❜
༊⋆。˚ avalanche , well —- her and barret the only ones left from their splinter cell but their travels had brought a group of unlikely stragglers along for the journey , all with the same common goal ; sephiroth . perhaps the downfall of shinra fell into play also . it was e a s i e r to group them all together as a whole and keep their origin title . they all separated like always when approaching a new village , some to scope new threats such as vincent & barret , others ( such as the girls ) to enjoy the new sights . tifa always found herself encapsulating surroundings . the female before her a welcoming face to the treacherous journey getting here .
❛ —- oh no , i can pay !! i have some gil somewhere .. ❜ small pockets hidden in the pleats of leather , as a business owner herself , she didn’t wish to depend on f r e e b i e s despite her gratitude . ❛ oh , i’m tifa . my party and i are looking for a place to stay the night .. do you know of any inns around these parts ? ❜

༊⋆。˚ tone speaking volumes —- yet the knots still remained in her stomach at his presence . at ease . she kept repeating it in the very corners of her mind ; he was human too and she noted he probably got exhausted of such f o r m a l i t i e s sometimes , especially so late ‘pon the hour . treating him how she wished to be treat too , she offered a small smile before reaching for glass . ❛ have you tried the cosmos canyon ? ❜ sweetened lilt tainting her tongue , carmine gaze the colour of the liquor she poured so eloquently into the tumbler .
❛ it’s my house special , a simple dash of salt from the canyon itself !! ❜ finishing up the beverage , she slid it over to him —- hand on hip awaiting his reaction .
usually men of his class had ( certain ) palates .. whiskey on the rocks or a dash of rum . not that she protested such liquors , the right balance and dependent upon age were the perfect cleanser . her bartender persona began to show its cracks though through weary eyes , lids becoming heavy but she kept the smile ; here to serve no matter what the hour . inclining her head , interest piquing at his presence here but his question had her eyes widening . ❛ —- only a few months , sir . ❜ had been given the opportunity for a better life and she took it w i t h o u t hesitation . living within the streets of the slums took its toll both mentally and physically .
❛ i —- uh , ❜ was he interested in such drivel of her personal affairs ? a quick glance around the room and realising they were the only two left , she couldn’t see the harm . killing time until she could flop into her military style cot before she was up for routine drills the next day . he had been the one to initiate such conversation so , she bit . ❛ it was actually reno who recruited me . he was impressed with my fighting skills . ❜ speaking of the turks in such a lighthearted manner to the president of the company while she was the lowest of the low in rank felt like a fever dream but even as she pinched the tender flesh of her arm , she had yet to wake up .
Usual pristine, polished image the President wears so distinguishably is now marred with a somewhat askew unwonted disheveledness. Impeccable coat hanging loosely upon broad shoulders and dark suit bearing the day's wear. Sleeves rolled up, hinting a network of lean muscle. Platinum blonde tresses, always a demonstration of calculated perfection is now a sight of slight imperfection—of a few strands protesting to be controlled in place.
An after work hours look, perhaps?
Vision sharp, catching the young woman's form—posture ramrod straight, salute in a perfect angle and the hint of apprehension in the greeting. Small, discernible smile of acknowledgement tugs at the corner of lips towards the recognized efforts.
❛ ⸻At ease. ❜
Voice laced with a commanding authority yet a rare, almost imperceptible soft undertones linger—the kind that enlists itself in attendance during public forums. Signature cadence approaches the marble countertop, allowing one's self if only a brief luxury display of candid weariness.
❛ Quite an impressive form. For how long have you been in service? Oh and a drink, please. Something that speaks... less formal. ❜

༊⋆。˚ oh , it all sounded so wonderful !! so much like a dream —- the young fighter in a dazed reverie before she heard the other kicking out her patrons . number of disgruntled faces downing their beverages before heading to the texan style doors of the tavern had gloved appendage covering her tiers to s u p p r e s s the giggles threatening to escape . ❛ well , that’s one way to do it !! ❜ truth be told , tifa hadn’t stopped working for years & a welcomed break with her best friend sounded like the ideal getaway . ❛ green ? you think ? ❜ always one to take advice , she didn’t deny such a suggestion . perhaps the flower girl fashion guru was going to be her save and grace in the outfit department . ❛ oh but lilac and blues .. i’ve always found myself drawn to those . ❜
clasped hands amid dreamy gaze flourishing as she quickly finished off her own glass and slipped from the bar stool . ❛ we could try the wall market or topside but why do i feel like the beach huts in costa itself will have much more prettier things ? ❜ boutiques were huge there , or so she had heard from various customers coming back from their travels over the years . trinkets of knowledge always an advantage being a barmaid . ❛ it could be quite irresponsible of us but , what d'you say we just go for it ? grab a few things and let the others know we'll be out of town for a few days . ❜ barret could begrudgingly handle the bar and tifa personally had no prior appointments to attend to . ❛ let's be selfish for once in our lives .. ❜ reaching forward to clasp the cetras hands in her own , tender smile 'pon ever sweet features , ❛ let's go .. tonight —- ? ❜
TIFA'S EXCITEMENT ALONE SOLIDIFIES THEIR PLANS, while it could be something as simple as waiting paint dry — – seeing the barmaids excitement ? aerith would have happily done anything to see that level of enthusiasm. & as the raven mentions the time alone, a duo retreat with sun-filled skies and girl-filled fun, the cetra is bouncing against the bar stool. ❛ yes . . . yes ! . . . girl-time, girl-time . . . ! ❜ she's begun wiggle & dance by raising & lowering her shoulders, jade optics shutting while she chants her thrill. though as a cupped hand forms and leans inward toward the pinkette once more, the florist enters the younger-womans space, listening intently.
❛ MATCHING !? ❜ the elevated, happy tone is louder than the whispers they previously shared, causing some patrons to shift in their direction. a sheepish expression forms 'pon delicate features, warmth coating the tops of her cheeks. ❛ oopsies — – ! but this all sounds so fun ! i think you'd look so beautiful in green . . . wait, maybe . . . lilac ? this is so exciting ! i can't wait to see what's out there ! ❜ spinning herself to face seventh-heaven's customers, she dares to call out: shoppe's closed! we're undergoing immediate renovations and will open again soon, bye-bye ! though instead, twirls to face tifa once more. ❛ when do we start ? — – where do we start ? wall-market ? ❜
