Yuna looks better than she has the last few times she was in the bar; tired, but clean and unbattered, barefoot in a simple blue shift. The Al Bhed shop doesn't have all the amenities--the constant lightning strikes are bad medicine for Al Bhed machina--but it's inside, and there's beds, and a tub to wash her dress in

A short distance down the bar, Tifa nurses a drink that seems pretty similar. It's just one of the things she's resorted to doing nightly so she can get to sleep as quickly as possible once it's late and she's ready to turn in.

Her eye caught by the movement nearby, she looks up curiously and offers a small smile.

She responds to the smile almost automatically, echoing and amplifying. She raises a hand in greeting. "Good evening."

There's a tiredness in the eyes that meet hers, she thinks, but the smile seems to have no lack of warmth because of it, and her own smile widens. "Hi there. Did you just arrive?"

From here she can see both who comes in from the lake and who comes down the stairs, but if this girl just came in the front door, she's not new to the place. She's not confused enough.

The idea that other people are free to come and go didn't seem as much of a reality until she talked to Cloud.

She nods. "Not on purpose," she laughs. "But I don't really mind." She sips from the steaming mug, and kicks one bare foot back and forth idly. "I'm Yuna."
