Tifa was, unexpectedly, feeling kind of pleased with life lately. Cloud was back and she'd see him soon, she'd had a good fight in the last couple of days, and it had hit on her to use Loz for grunt work, since he insisted on continuing to come around looking for something to do, which meant that the stack of glasses that had been awaiting her before his arrival was now nearly finished. She'd been surprised that he'd so swiftly accepted her order to make himself useful--maybe he just didn't want to be alone. She could understand that. It wasn't as though she were sympathizing with him, she just...understood.

Still, he was trouble when he wasn't fighting or given something else to do, and he was running out of glasses to wash, so she was rather relieved when a knock came on the door and Yazoo's voice called. (What was the world coming to, that she should be relieved to see him of all people?) Still, she wasn't about to take any chances. She took Billy's shotgun from under the bar and made sure it was loaded before going to unlock the ( ... )

Walking didn't really feel like enough anymore, especially not with the weather cooled down. He'd needed something to occupy his mind, preferably something still out of the apartment... and this had seemed to be just the thing. Restaurants always needed help, right? It had gotten him and his brothers some free meals now and then. And this was as close as he knew to that sort of place here...

Loz didn't hear the knock at the door over the running water, but he'd shut it off by the time Tifa called out. His hands went still for a moment as he dried the one of the last glasses, and he swallowed, but he quickly finished the glass in his hands and left the last few in the drying rack. "Yeah," he called back, a little subdued, as he set the dry glass on the shelf and tossed the towel next to the sink.

Only that left him without anything to do with his hands as he came out to meet Yazoo, whom he was certain wouln't be pleased. He tried to casually do nothing with his hands, only the minute he had to think about it, it wasn't casual ( ... )

Yazoo did as he was told, nudging the door back with his foot and then turning carefully to close it all the way. "I'm unarmed," he said flatly to Cloud's woman -- he still didn't know her name -- not bothering to raise his hands. She'd either shoot him despite his cooperation or she wouldn't, and the twist of his body when he'd shut the door had already displayed his empty holster ( ... )

Tifa could see he was unarmed, but that didn't mean he wasn't dangerous. She wouldn't shoot him, but neither would she let down his guard. She stepped back again so that she could see both of them without needing to turn her head and so that she wasn't in either brother's reach, and kept the shotgun pointed at Yazoo. She was trusting--hoping--that they wouldn't decide to attack her at once, but that didn't seem to be the goal of tonight ( ... )
