On the return of a familiar voice

[thoughtsinmyheart]

See, that wasn't so bad, was it? You were so worried but everyone -- or at least the people who matter -- feels you are doing well.

Just try to have fun. Over thinking it will only make the situation complicated.

[A small sigh.]

Some of those other things we can talk about later.

Boo!

[thoughtsinmyheart]

[!!]

Zack? [Excuse her, she looks surprised.] I'm glad you're here too!

[chocobo_hairdude]

Yeah, I'm always here. [He crossed his arms and beamed.]

How are you, Tifa?

[thoughtsinmyheart]

[It never hurts to have a friendly face around, and she regards him warmly.]

I'm doing all right! Excited to be out and about again, so to speak. It's been too long. [Oh, but-] Is Aerith with you?

[chocobo_hairdude]

Aerith? Oh, she's back at the church tending to her flowers as she does. [He smiled.]

[thoughtsinmyheart]

Good. And you're okay, too?

[chocobo_hairdude]

Yeah, I'm ok. Why wouldn't I be? [He crossed his arms then pulled a puppy smile.]

[thoughtsinmyheart]

[... Tifa completely sidesteps that question. No need to get into it and wreck that smile.] Nothing. I'm just glad to hear it.
