[ It's not too long after this; Tifa is still in the Quad, sitting down on a nearby bench, hugging herself. She's shaking, just a little. Maybe.. maybe she really IS the one that's going crazy. Or maybe Cloud's just back to how he was before.

Either way, it was really starting to get to her, and she was in no mood to return to her room just yet. ]

[ A small jump -- she hadn't expected anyone to approach her, really. But she gives a small, hopefully reassuring smile to the girl. ] I'm.. I'm fine, I think. Thank you.

[Naoto's not good with words. Never has been. Just look at the shit she usually stirs up. But she's good with her eyes, and she can clearly see that someone is just on this side of losing it. In a tearful manner.

That's really never a good thing.]

Something wrong?

[Words are out of her mouth before she even knows it and even then they sound kind of stupid to her ears.]

[ Tifa glances up sharply, blinking wide at the girl standing in front of her. ] I-- no. [ She's totally lying. ]

[Okay, that's the worst lie she's ever heard, and she's heard quite a lot of them. And all she does is cross her arms and raise an eyebrow.

Naoto has the urge to ask if her boyfriend dumped her but... nah.]

[ She'd planned on sitting in the Quad for a while to relax a little and think - seeing the other woman though, looking so upset -- in a familiar way -- Terra hesitantly approached. ]

Excuse me... are you all right? [ Obviously not, but... ]

[ She is so caught up in her little world that Terra approaching her causes her to start slightly, and she straightens a bit, attempting to compose herself. ] I.. I'm fine. Thank you.

[ Terra tilts her head curiously. Sure Tifa -says- she fine, but... ]

I'm sorry to startle you. You looked upset. Are you sure everything is all right? [ The workload could be a bit much for people not used to it, she supposed. ]

[ Here, have an unconvincing smile! ] Mm. Thank you.

[ Crap. ] ..It's that obvious, huh? A friend of mine, he.. I'm worried about him.

[ She shakes her head slightly, leaning forward and clasping her hands together in her lap. ] I don't know. He won't talk to me. I'm a little used to that, but.. I thought, at least, he would start to open up.

[ Oh no. That voice -- When Tifa looks up, it's pretty much the last person in Garden she wants to see right now, and it takes every inch of her willpower not to stand up and haul off and slug him in the pretty face right then and there.

She does stand up, though, fists clenched. Her gloves are in her back pocket, so if it comes to that... ] You.
