[ Despite the fact that Tifa has seen Peter use his super-speed, as he calls it, a number of times before, it still always takes her by surprise. She almost drops the glass she'd been cleaning, but instead sets it down hard on the bar-top. ]
Hi to you too. [ Her heart didn't almost just leap out of her chest or anything. ] Really, I just wanted to make sure there was someone else here. I didn't want one of the lost Summoned to show up and find it empty, you know?
[ As if they're not already dealing with enough... ]
[ he's been trying to slow down a little more, but given the excitement of everyone switching around, he's sort of forgotten about it. ]
I mean, I'm pretty sure they'd be fine, but I get you. [ he's starting to understand that this is just the way she copes. he picks up another glass and a clean rag to start cleaning it as well, just for something to do with his hands. ] ... Are you okay?
[ Tifa shakes her head. Peter doesn't need to apologize. His supernatural speed is going to come in handy in the coming days, she would guess, but she also doesn't want him to overdo it. And she does understand that he feels the same about her, even if they're both being stubborn about it. ]
It's confusing enough to have shown up here, for them. I'd like everything to go as smoothly as possible if we can manage it.
[ And it does also help to see Peter's familiar face here and know that she isn't the only inn staff member who's still here. At his question, she quickly nods, grabbing for the glass again. ]
I'm fine. Honestly? While this situation obviously isn't ideal, it's good for me to have something to do. [ A goal to focus on. She tilts her head at him. ] Know what I mean?
