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.

Well now! Congratulations on returning! It is as you say - coasting with the flow isn't so bad, is it not? Or, well, mayhap, 'the best first step...' gosh, I forget!

The mun here is attempting to secure my voice as well, so you are not alone.

[vampirekiller]

My Mundane wishes you the best of luck on this return.

[thoughtsinmyheart]

[Oh, him.]

My mundane informs me that you might not mean any trouble. I can't say I believe her.

[Were you expecting a warm welcome, here?]

[thoughtsinmyheart]

Thank you. I'm sure everything will be all right. I'm look forward to this, myself.

[thoughtsinmyheart]

It may be both. Things are different now, but I think everything will work out much better. I'm looking forward to all of it.

I see. They are picky about these things, aren't they? She's even more of a perfectionist than last time. But they'll both be fine, I'm sure of it.

[insultendearments]

Being picky about accurately portraying a voice is far from a bad thing, anyway.

As to where you might journey, do you have any ideas?

[thoughtsinmyheart]

That's true, but it shouldn't cause more stress. As long as that is avoided I can't complain.

None at all. I think right now her focus is practice, maybe I can convince her into an arrangement later.

[shinra_dog]

Well hey there, pretty lady. *grins*

Glad t' hear things are goin' well for you, yo. Good luck with everythin'. I mean it.

[thoughtsinmyheart]

[Oh, what's that? A little smile out of her? Definitely.] Thank you, Reno.

Don't work too hard, now.

[iam_sephiroth]

Trouble? Hmph.

Mundanes are so quick to judge. What trouble would I want to cause you, Tifa?

[chocobo_hairdude]

Boo!

he's Dissidia-verse

[losthere]

Tifa?

[shinra_dog]

Ditto.

[thoughtsinmyheart]

Cloud! [Of course she's happy to see him but...] You seem ... different.

[thoughtsinmyheart]

[!!]

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

[thoughtsinmyheart]

You can't claim to have done anything but cause trouble in the past, so why should I expect anything different?

[losthere]

[it's the snow boots, isn't it? He blames you, Amano, you and your frilly art.

Okay, take it careful, Strife. The last time you talked, you said the two of you would have to fight the next time you met. You just - died before you got to that part.

And what's she wearing? That's not a mini-skirt. Have a hesitant]

So do you.

[before a much more sure]

What other things are you talking about later?

[iam_sephiroth]

I have not caused any trouble to you or anyone else. [Huh?]

[chocobo_hairdude]

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

How are you, Tifa?

[thoughtsinmyheart]

[Unnecessary frills mess up everything for everyone, Amano, what are you thinking.

Anyway. Her arms fold, gaze curious. Why would she be different? He left for a delivery this morning and yet-

Oh.]

'Shipping' apparently. It doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

[thoughtsinmyheart]

[... What in Holy.]

Killing my father isn't causing me trouble? Coming back from the dead thanks to your remnants isn't trouble?

[Her voice is bitter, but this isn't at all like Sephiroth. He would be more apt to rub acid into a wound that never healed.]

So what do you remember?

[iam_sephiroth]

I beg your pardon? I have never even met your father, Tifa. [Why would he want to go to Nibelheim anyway?]

I think you have me confused with someone else. What do I remember? Last I remember is spending a training session with Genesis Rhapsodos and some raw recruits in the ShinRa training facility.

[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?

[thoughtsinmyheart]

[Genesis...?]

I -

[It dawns on her almost suddenly. Jaw locked, she nods.]

I understand now. Sorry, it was my mistake.
