Cloud was there, just like he said he would be, waiting for her. His expression was pained, and visibly shaking as he sat in the shade.

As Tifa approached the area where Cloud was sitting, she noticed him rather quickly. He didn't exactly blend in with the reddened earth.

"So, you're here." She murmured, giving away her presence as she came to stand behind him.

[ooc; Lol whut happened to script?]

Cloud flinched when she came closer, huddling into himself and hiding his face. He didn't want her to see this, he was so scared . . .

[ooc: you're just that awesome, that I switched to prose.]

"...Cloud." Tifa took a few quick strides to close the distance between them and put a hand on his shoulder, ignoring his blatant flinching away from her. "Cloud, look at me. Please."

striven_soldier November 19 2007, 01:53:42 UTC

Cloud looked at her, the dark rings around his eyes somehow showing how much more self pity he could feel.

". . . Tifa."

"It's time for you to come home." She informed him, trying to hide the pang she felt when she saw how piteous he looked.Tifa severely doubted that he'd slept or eaten in the time he'd been away.

Cloud shrunk backwards, "I . . . am I, Cloud?"

xfinal_heaven November 19 2007, 03:47:10 UTC

"Yes, you are... and everyone misses you, Cloud... so please.... come back." Tifa pleaded, refusing to move her hand from his shoulder. "Please."

striven_soldier November 19 2007, 04:04:41 UTC

He shook his head, trying to pull out of her grip, "I can't."

xfinal_heaven November 19 2007, 04:06:40 UTC

Tifa finally released him, gesticulating widely to try and get her point across. "Why? Why can't you come back!?"

striven_soldier November 19 2007, 04:15:40 UTC

". . ." he turned his head to the side again.

xfinal_heaven November 19 2007, 04:17:06 UTC

"...Cloud." Tifa whispered, craning her neck to try and meet his gaze.

striven_soldier November 19 2007, 04:32:41 UTC

Cloud swallowed hard, and tried his best to convey his feelings.

". . . I love my motorcycle, but every time . . . something happens . . . it keeps breaking. Sometimes I scratch the sides, then sometimes I just don't check the engine whether it's working properly."

He looked at her, some flickering hope that she understood what he was saying, ". . . I never check the engine to see whether it's working. I just . . . leave it be, and I can never . . . ever fix the engine. It just . . ."

xfinal_heaven November 19 2007, 04:37:16 UTC

"I know, Cloud." Tifa murmured after a silent moment of sorting out his inane metaphors. "But, you just have to work on that sort of thing. You have to work out the kinks early on so that it doesn't build into some huge... motorcycle malfunction." She fumbled around with her words. "It's not a factory defect, which means if you try, you can prevent it. You just have to keep working hard."

striven_soldier November 19 2007, 04:51:24 UTC

He grabbed her hand, glad that she had missed his confession of love, and told her, "There is nothing wrong with the engine. . . it's the rider."

xfinal_heaven November 19 2007, 04:54:06 UTC

"Then all the rider needs is practice." Tifa affirmed, smiling at him and clutching his hand in return. "Come on. You can't just stop driving, now."
