[And Tifa is down at Seventh Heaven, scrubbing some glasses furiously. Technically, she doesn't have to work right now, but it's helping more than sitting around and doing nothing.] He's gone. Denzel... [Her journal is laying open on the counter, forgotten for the moment, but it still picks up the murmured words.]

At least- at least he's back home ( Read more... )

[Well, she's not at the house so she must be at the bar.

Cloud heads there, bypassing the impersonal journal BS.]

[Action] packedapunch March 20 2010, 05:59:36 UTC

[Indeed, the journal is sometimes BS, especially when it records things without permission. Still, Tifa will be continuing to wipe every single glass in Seventh Heaven's collection, even if half of them hardly ever get used.]

[Action] herobydefault March 20 2010, 06:31:02 UTC

[Cloud slips inside and heads over to the bar to have a seat. He'll wait for her to notice/acknowledge him before speaking up. ...unless she doesn't for a while.]

[Action] packedapunch March 20 2010, 06:34:10 UTC

[She does notice him almost straight away, and takes a breath. There's silence for a few minutes before she finds the words.] I'm sorry I didn't say anything when I first realised.

[Action] herobydefault March 20 2010, 06:36:33 UTC

...what are you apologizing for?

I should... [He sighs, a drags a hand through his hair.] This...has happened before.

[Action] packedapunch March 20 2010, 06:39:36 UTC

It has? [A sigh, because that shouldn't really be all that surprising, should it? People came and went all the time- she had.] Guess it's just me that's shocked, then, what with my faulty memories.

[Action] herobydefault March 20 2010, 06:41:50 UTC

Your memories aren't faulty. [Cloud says this automatically, almost defensively, before checking himself.]

...he can't be caught up in that draft this way. And...we both know that we're home to look after him and keep him safer there. [Of course, he could talk about how much better it is for days on end, but it won't change the fact that he's going to be missed. Horribly.]

[Action] packedapunch March 20 2010, 06:47:10 UTC

[Tifa berates herself inwardly for that memories comment, since she'd probably have a lot more tact if she weren't upset right now.

But she's going to press onwards with that optimism.] You're right, though- I didn't know what I'd do if they took him to fight. Back home must be a better place than here right now. [And then, on a more depressing note-] It just keeps me wondering... how long we're going to be here.

[Action] herobydefault March 20 2010, 06:50:51 UTC

[Don't blame yourself Tifa, he's an oversensitive whiner.]

Yeah. ...though, we go right back to where we left off. Don't even remember this place. [Cloud pulls on one of his bangs.] I even aged back; my hair got shorter. ...makes me wonder if all of this here really is real.

[Action] packedapunch March 20 2010, 07:01:57 UTC

Hmm... I guess we just have to hope that sometime we'll keep some of these memories, right? It might be possible. [And return of the optimism! It does take her mind off things temporarily.]

[Action] herobydefault March 20 2010, 07:10:01 UTC

[Where is it all coming from, how does she do it]

I don't know. Maybe whatever happens here stays here. Like...we can't carry these experiences back home with us.

[Action] packedapunch March 20 2010, 07:19:08 UTC

[Who knows. It's Tifa's secret superpower.]

And maybe we can, too. You shouldn't give up on it just like that! [Or it could just be another of her self-defence mechanisms.] Even so... maybe it's better just to think about the present, while we're here. It'll save us headaches.

[Action] herobydefault March 20 2010, 07:25:25 UTC

[Cloud hums; easier said then done. He'll drop it for now, but Lord knows he'll probably start angsting about it again later.]

...I guess it's not fair of me to say I miss him, considering I left you two alone again.

[Action] packedapunch March 20 2010, 07:30:44 UTC

It's not like it was the same as last time. You're allowed to miss him- it's Denzel. [And Denzel is important to both of them, after all.]

[Action] herobydefault March 20 2010, 07:32:42 UTC

[Cloud folds his arms and lays them atop the bar, his chin on his wrist.] So...what do you think?

...about back home, I mean. Would we...I don't know, adopt him someday?

[Action] packedapunch March 20 2010, 07:36:43 UTC

I think it would make him happy if we did. [And it's unspoken that it would make Tifa very happy, too.] You'd want to do that?
