[introverting]

[ Cloud looks only slightly irritated. Though, for him, that might mean he's extremely so. The hand that isn't holding his communication lifts to rub the back of his head as he gives a small sigh. ]

This is...

[ What? He's not entirely sure. The pamphlet gave answers enough, sure, though none of it makes sense. He's still not fully convinced this isn't some kind of dream. He can't treat it entirely like that, though, especially given that he did everything he could think of to make sure it was reality. It doesn't feel like the Lifesteam. He doesn't feel dead. At least he's pretty sure he doesn't.

So what was it? What could he say? Ridiculous? Unbelievable? Downright disturbing in the long run? ]

... Inconvenient.

[ He holds up the welcoming pamphlet. ] Missing anything?

It was definitely interesting. I had a sword and everything.

[They reach the top of the staircase and she glances back to catch his expression.]

[Action]

[introverting]

[ Now that is hard to picture, and he takes a second to try to. Tifa with a sword. He is, of course, picturing one of his very own, which would mean Tifa with a very large sword and that's just even more amusing, but mostly his face looks a mixture of surprised and puzzled by the prospect.

That is before he gives a small snort. He thinks he'll stick to seeing her beat people up with her fists. ]

[Action]

[fightforastar]

Yeah, that part was pretty weird. I didn't really know how to use the thing except from watching you fight.

[Of course it was a much more reasonably-sized sword but still. She's glad to be back to her fists.

And across the hallway they go to her apartment. She unlocks the door and pushes it open for him.]

Well, this is me.

[Action]

[introverting]

[ He gives a small nod at that. Just suddenly having to learn how to fight with a sword would be a little awkward on its own, so he's glad she at least had something to go off of.

He goes to step inside, glad that his clothes in his arms aren't so soaked as they could be because it would just be rude to drip water all over her floor. ]

... Thanks again for letting me stay.

[Action]

[fightforastar]

Don't mention it.

[Stepping inside after him, she reaches for the damp clothes.]

Here, let me take those. I can throw them in the wash for you.

[Action]

[introverting]

[ He lets go of them without a fight, giving a nod of thanks. He was showing a lot of gratitude today. ]

I'll look around for an apartment I like so I can get out of your hair quickly. [ Though he was used to living with her, so it might not end up being that quickly. Sorry, Tifa. ]

[Action]

[fightforastar]

There's no rush. I just figure you'd like your own space.

[She disappears for a moment around a corner to toss his clothes somewhere.]

[Action]

[introverting]

Mm. Maybe.

[ He rubs the back of his head. ]

Gotten sort of used to having people around.

[Action]

[fightforastar]

Some of us have grown on you, huh? Well, maybe we can be neighbors again.

[She figures that's the sort of thing he means. They must live close by if he was talking about seeing her before work.]

[Action]

[introverting]

[ He's quiet for a second, not even giving a nod of agreement. It's going to take some time to get used to the difference in memories for sure. ]

Yeah... Maybe.

[ Clearing his throat just slightly, he glances around the apartment without moving from his spot near the entrance. ]

Where should I sleep?

[Action]

[fightforastar]

I've got a spare room. If you take more than two steps in I can show you.

[Action]

[introverting]

[ Oh. Well then. He'll just be a jackass and take three steps. ]

[Action]

[fightforastar]

[Tifa plants her hands on her hips.]

Do I have to drag you bodily?

[Action]

[introverting]

[ He holds up his hands in a gesture of Alright, alright, you win... Though there's a small smile on his face all the same. He moves farther into the apartment, going to stand only a few steps away from her finally. ]

Lead the way.
