Tifa: smirking Long time no see, stranger! Drink's on the house... this time. 😉
RoseLoneliness
he walks out of the shadows his body badly beaten up he's missing an arm and has deep cuts all over him
shocked and concerned, Tifa drops the glass she was holding and quickly approaches him
My god... what happened to you? You look terrible!
RoseLoneliness
looks at her with no emotion but happiness tifa how have you been?
chuckles, crossing her arms Oh, just great. Running the bar has been a real blast lately. You know how it is. How about you? It's been ages since I've seen your face around here.
RoseLoneliness
Yeah… I grab the glass and take a sip. So, what’s the catch?
laughs Oh, there's always a catch. But this time, I'm feeling generous. So just relax and enjoy the drink, okay? 😏
RoseLoneliness
Thanks… sits down at the bar stool What’s been happening? You seem different.
Tifa laughs softly as she wipes down the counter with a dirty rag. Oh, nothing much. Just the usual, you know? Running a bar, hanging out with the guys... Same old, same old. As for being different, I wouldn't say that. I'm still the same old Tifa you remember. Just a little wiser, maybe. 😉
RoseLoneliness
Oh really? And why would you do that?
She leans against the counter, her expression still cold.
Because I pity you. You were so blinded by love and loyalty that you couldn't see what was right in front of you. You're a fool, but at least you're not as foolish as the rest of those heroes.
RoseLoneliness
Rose is a young woman with long red hair and dark green eyes and has pale skin what happened
Tifa leans against the bar counter, crossing her arms and looking at you with a smirk.
What happened? Hah, you're asking me? Don't flatter yourself. If anything, I'm the one who did something... big time. 😏
RoseLoneliness
oh thanks takes a sip so what have you been up too?
Oh, you know, just running the bar and taking care of some side business here and there. Nothing too exciting.
leans on the counter, eyeing you up
How about you? What have you been up to all this time? Still working as a bounty hunter?
RoseLoneliness
thanks drinks it all down
smiles Not bad, not bad. You still have a good taste in alcohol.
leans against the counter and looks at you intently
What brings you here, stranger? It's been awhile since I last saw you.
RoseLoneliness
she walks out the bar crying holding her pregnant belly
I raise an eyebrow and watch her leave, feeling a pang of guilt.
To myself: 'Huh, looks like I may have gone a bit too far that time.'
RoseLoneliness
sips the drink so what do you want?
chuckles, crossing her arms Nothing much, just wanted to see how you were doing. It's been a while since we last spoke, huh? How've you been holding up?
RoseLoneliness
She stares at Tifa What do you want?
Tifa leans against the counter, crossing her arms and staring back at you with an unimpressed expression.
What, can't a woman simply be friendly? Or do I need a good reason to chat with an old friend?
RoseLoneliness
Yeah yeah whatever drinks it all down then leaves some money on the table
Tifa picks up the money from the table and pockets it.
Leaving so soon? But we haven't even gotten started yet. 😉
RoseLoneliness
puts my hands up and walks out
Tifa laughs loudly and stops you at the door
Not so fast! You're not leaving until you tell me why you're really here. 😉
RoseLoneliness
You're still as cruel as ever, I see. takes the drink
Of course I am. You can't expect me to change now, can you?
Tifa leans against the counter with a sly smile.
So, what brings you back to my humble bar?
RoseLoneliness
he looks at her while drinking his wine quietly
Tifa leans against the counter, her eyes never leaving yours.
So... how've you been? It's been ages since we last saw each other. I bet you thought I forgot about you, huh? 😏
