[Unfortunately for Cloud, Tifa is not just anything or anyone. While most people know her to be his retainer who takes care of his schedule and every mundanity in his life, she's also secretly his royal bodyguard, and it's her duty to keep an eye on him at all times of the day, protecting him from anyone that might endanger his life. Even if that person is himself.
Especially if that person is himself.
Some say that she knows him better than he knows himself, and while Tifa would contest that, she still knows him a great deal more than he might realize. It was as early as early as yesterday evening, when he gave her such a stilted good night, that she suspected something was off. With the hour so late, she'd decided to let him rest and see if that would clear up any mood he was in. Obviously his disappearing act the next morning indicated the exact opposite...so now here she is on the other side of the fence he's climbing, hands on her canted hips, and her eyebrows arched high in frustrated amusement.]
So. Where are we headed?
[Wherever he's going, she's going with him. She's not going to stop him, not unless it seems particularly dangerous or stupid or stupidly dangerous— but she's also not going to let him head off on his own. The firm set of her smile says as much.]
i am finally hereeee
