Oooh. So he's a chum, is he? That's interesting.

[ Noting this, noting this. She has a little book out to make this note. A list titled "Cloud's friends (To harass)" ]

[makoglow]

[ He wouldn't go so far as to say "friends" but...

Enough to send an annoying vid? Oh yeah. ]

Do you have a name I should send it to instead?

[everblooms]

It's your list! Not mine. Looking kind of slim, though... Hmm.

[ Where's HER name? Is she going to hang this over his head? Maybe... ]

[makoglow]

[ He can't send it back to her! ]

Did you think I would have a long one?

[everblooms]

There's room for one more, don't you think?

[makoglow]

Only one?

[ She isn't going to try to get Cloud to make more friends, is she? ]

[everblooms]

I guess a few more, but yeah! At least one more, right?

[ He's onto her.

Partially. ]

[makoglow]

Okay. At least one more?

[ Partially.

He still has no idea that Aerith means herself. ]

[everblooms]

Yep, one more!

[ Come on... ]

[makoglow]

[ It's starting to become clear to him... ]

You want me to send it back to you, don't you?

[everblooms]

Aww, Cloud, do you think of me as a friend, too?

[makoglow]

Isn't that obvious?

[everblooms]

That's what I thought, but turns out, not enough to get gnomed!

[makoglow]

Since you already have the video, isn't it kind of pointless?

[everblooms]

You sound so sure for someone who got gnomed.

[makoglow]

Sometimes I really wonder where all of these ideas of yours come from.

[flamekthunder]

Cloud, this is Eustace. Tifa is at my house.

[Just gets right to the point—well part of the point.]

[makoglow]

...Okay?

[ And this is a problem. Why? ]

[flamekthunder]

[..............]

Did you not notice her missing?

[makoglow]

Yes? She's an adult and doesn't need to tell us where she is going.

[flamekthunder]

[...Sigh.]

I'm going to guess she wasn't gone long enough for you to notice then.

[Guess that's a good thing then...probably???]

She went through the rifts at some point and returned not too long ago—washed up on the beach right in front of my cabin.

[makoglow]

What do you mean "washed up?" Is she all right?

[ Stepping through a rift? Why would she do that? Cloud has so many questions. But first of all, he needs to know that Tifa is okay. Safe. ]

[flamekthunder]

She's not injured, but she's apparently been through mako.

[Small pause, thinking back to how she had been and how much he should really say.]

She's clearly rattled and exhausted, sleeping on my couch right now.

[makoglow]

Mako...

[ Frowning. ]

How soaked are her clothes? Is it just sleeping or more than that?

[flamekthunder]

She was soaked through and had a chance to dry herself, but she refused anything more than that. But she was clearly weak, could barely walk.

It would be better if you came to get her.
