[The video feed centers on Tifa, who looks to be in a pretty good mood. Behind her, part of a small bar can be seen.]

This is probably about as calm as things are going to get for an announcement.

As of today, I'm reopening the bar, the Crow's Nest. The name's from the previous owner, but I decided I'd keep it. I think if you rename a place too many times, it starts to forget its character.

Anyway, it's located a few streets from the plaza, look for the red door. If you're interested in a good drink or a home-cooked meal, you come right on by.

Really? Because I think that beautiful smile of yours is definitely a selling point!

[ ...also there are two other major selling points too but let's start with the smile. ]

[She's not going to outright call him on how young he looks, because in this place you never know, but she does raise an eyebrow.]

Is that right? You sound like you've been to quite a few places to make that determination.

[ The fact that he lives in a world of high-fantasy that likely has no legal drinking age probably worked in his favor back home. ]

Well with my occupation I traveled around a lot so I got to see a lot of places. Different city, different tavern!

["Lost art" usually refers to things that have been gone for... well, longer than he's been alive.]

I see. And what is it you do anyway?

[ He also has a flair for the dramatic. ]

I'm an actor in a traveling theater troupe!

[ And also a thief so quick exits from town are kind of absolutely necessary at times. ]

That does explain the dramatic flair. It sounds like it'd be a lot of fun.
