[attr=class,bulk] Tifa offered to send people from Eos his way in return, which made Noctis nod gratefully until an intrusive thought struck him. “Thanks. Er…if you ever meet a red-haired guy named Ardyn though, then just…run the other direction, okay?” The version of Sephiroth that Tifa had met on Zephon apparently didn’t remember anything that he’d done to Gaia, but Noctis wasn’t going to hold his breath on that for Ardyn. Especially when the chancellor would probably be all too happy to torment one of the prince’s friends.
Tifa picked up on the fact that he was a cat lover and explained that she used to have a big white cat named Fluffy. “White cats are great,” he said with a grin, though his favorite type had to be little black voids. They were usually pretty sweet. “If you ever want to adopt a cat here, I know there’s a bunch of strays around the Rising Stones. Prompto used to feed them.” Hopefully Alex kept that up, since his friend wasn’t likely to want to go back to that guild for a while. If not, then Noct could always swing by with some freshly-caught fish.
“I think you’d adjust to a sword pretty fast since you can already move around in a fight. Definitely have to get used to the weight though,” Noctis acknowledged. She was probably perfectly happy sticking with her fists anyway, but this was all hypothetical. Anyway, he was pretty distracted as soon as she described why they’d had an airship to begin with. “Space?” Noctis glanced over at Tifa, a little uncertain if she was messing with him or not. “Going up near the stars? That’s possible?” Even Niflheim hadn’t dreamed that big, though who knows what would have happened if the empire had survived? Personally Noct thought that they had enough problems down on Eos though without bringing them along to other planets.
Though honestly, that’s exactly what they were doing now to Zephon. Food for thought.
Tifa seemed to find it hilarious that he had once burned soup, and the prince let out a slightly long-suffering sigh. He was used to the guys giving him hell, so he wasn’t upset or anything. Not when it was objectively pretty funny. “I’ll do my best when you teach me.” Unless it involved vegetables, but that wasn’t likely when it came to baking. As long as she didn’t try to teach him carrot cake or something, and then their lesson would turn into the prince’s hell. Ignis would sure be happy though.
Tifa agreed that maybe they’d both needed this night up on the roof, and Noctis smiled faintly as he topped off both of their wine glasses for the last time. “Cheers then. That’s the end of the bottle.” He was glad she’d shared it with him though. They’d have to do this again sometime. Maybe to console themselves over how hopeless Noct was in the kitchen.

Noctis was then mentioning a man to avoid and Tifa gave a nod. "Of course, though I think I'll just take down information on whoever it is I run into and run it by you first." Seemed like he had enemies as well, but that wasn't surprising. Everyone usually did, and he was a prince after all. Plus, from what he had told her, life on his world hadn't been the best, so I was best to ask questions first.
At the mention of stray cats, Tifa perked up. "Oh I'll have to stop by. If anything, maybe having them at the bar would be beneficial too. Back home, customers would always stop to pet them or feed them. I've watched people go from a sour mood due to a bad day to smiling just by a simple cat." Of course, if she did find the cats at the Rising Stones, it probably wouldn't hurt to take one or two home for herself, depending on how close the cats were to each other.
"Yeah, I'm not used to holding things when I fight. Adjusting to the weight and the fact that I could hit things farther away would be some things I'd have to get used to." Having gotten used to close combat, she was a little worried she would accidentally hit someone due to forgetting that she was holding a long object.
It seemed Noctis was a little confused by going into space, and she hid a soft giggle. "Yes, space. You didn't have that on your world? I never got the chance to go myself, but yes, people do go up there. Makes me wonder if they have anything like that here." From what she had seen though, technology wasn't as advanced here as it had been on Gaia, so she really didn't have her hopes up too much on a spacecraft.
Tifa gave a smile at his sigh, not daring to laugh at him again. He didn't seem upset, so it appeared that this wasn't the first time someone had poked fun at him. "Maybe we'll start out with an easy casserole or something. Perhaps some grilled cheese." Okay, maybe that one would be a little too simple, but she couldn't help it. Luckily she loved cooking, so if he wanted to tap out at any point, she would be happy to finish whatever they were making.
When he poured out the last of the bottle, she gave him a nod of thanks. "Oh, I didn't realize we've been up here that long." That old saying 'time flies when you're having fun' was correct here. Well, a little. Some of their topics weren't too fun, but overall she was having a good time. "I'll definitely have to bring the best wine from the bar to have you try, though I don't think any of it could beat yours."

[attr=class,bulk] Tifa agreed to be wary of anyone named Ardyn, though she also pointed out that she could just run any names past him first. “That works too,” he acknowledged, though the chancellor was the main person he’d want her to look out for. He didn’t think anyone else from the empire would come after him. What would be the point when they were away from Eos? He certainly wasn’t a prince of anything here. “What about you? Anyone from Gaia to watch out for other than Sephiroth?” Maybe the people running Shinra, but he had a feeling that could be similar to the leaders of Niflheim. They might not be much of a threat here on Zephon.
The bartender perked up at the mention of all the stray cats around the Rising Stones, and she seemed to agree that having one or two around the bar would be nice. “Yeah, bet the customers would love it. Plus you’d never have a rat problem,” he added. Honestly, he hoped she’d end up adopting one, but that was selfishly so he’d have the chance to visit a cat more. He’d have to bring by some fish if she did get one.
Tifa giggled at his confusion around space travel, and he peered up at the night sky when she confirmed that it was absolutely possible. “No kidding…” The night sky in Sonora was a pretty sad sight with all the light pollution. He could barely make out any stars, so the prince was currently having to go off memory. “You think if they manage space travel here, then we could find our way home that way?” In theory, Eos and Gaia were both out there right? Even if they were pretty far away.
Tifa consoled him on his cooking skills by saying that they could start with an easy casserole or a grilled cheese. “We can try,” he said a bit glumly. Not because he was reluctant to learn, but because he had a sudden vision of him accidentally setting her kitchen on fire. Hopefully it didn’t come to that. “We uh. Don’t have to eat it though if it looks too bad. I’ll pay you back for the ingredients.” The prince was only half joking unfortunately. He really didn’t have much confidence in himself. Then again, Ignis had always seemed pretty content to do the cooking, so maybe Tifa would be a more persistent teacher. They’d have to see.
She seemed surprised that so much time had passed, and Noct privately agreed. She was easy to talk to. Maybe they’d have more nights like this, and she seemed like she’d be okay with that too since she offered to bring the wine next time. “Next time then. Sounds good to me,” he said as he sipped the remainder of his final glass. He was definitely feeling the alcohol at this point, and it was a pleasant warmth against the chilly evening. “Glad you liked it. I’ve been trying to ration what’s in my glaive since I can’t restock from home, but…this felt like a good night for it.” Who knew if they’d even survive the breakout, and he couldn’t drink anything if he was dead after all. He wasn’t going to say that to Tifa though. “Thanks again for the company,” was all he said instead.

Giving a nod, she looked up at the sky. "It's crazy to think that we're in a new world, living different lives, but still having to deal with the past." Tifa hoped that made sense with how she said it. As he asked who he should watch out for, she had to think a little bit. "Yeah, there could be a few that might be out for me and my friends. Heidegger, Hojo, President Shinra. Don Corneo probably doesn't want to hurt us, but you do not want to meet him." She gave a small shiver at that one. Honestly, a part of her would rather see Hojo than Corneo...
Tifa gave a chuckle. "That's true, not having rats would be great in a place that served food, so it looks like I'll just have to come by and see them." She was going to anyways, but now it wasn't just because she wanted to. They were also nice to have when there wasn't any customers there and she was by herself. They couldn't talk, but they still provided at least some company around an empty place.
Watching as he looked up into the sky, Tifa had to smile. It was interesting to see the curiousity from someone learning something new. As he started to talk again, she looked away quickly, a small blush on her face. Thinking on his question, she looked at her hands in her lap. "I think it could be possible. It's not like they just vanished, they have to be out there still since people still show up from there." She missed home, but this new world was starting to grow on her.
"Hey, I'm sure you didn't become a good swordsman after the first try. I know it took me quite some time before I was an accomplished martial artist. Things take time, and sometimes it takes a little longer for some. I promise I'm patient, and you can learn at your own speed." Smiling at him, she playfully raised her eyebrows. "Or, if it looks too bad, you can just pay for us to eat somewhere else instead." Honestly, she didn't eat at places often, so she would be happy either way.
Tifa finished her drink as well, feeling it as well. When he stated it was a good night for the wine he had been saving, she gave a nod. "Well you do have a big day tomorrow, so it's like a beforehand celebration. You guys have a plan, and I believe everything will work out. You'll be reunited with your friends, I know it." He was thanking her for the company, and she reached out and put her hand on his. "Thank you as well, I like talking to you."

[attr=class,lyric2]king of fishing
[attr=class,bulk] Tifa mentioned how weird it was that they were somewhere entirely new and still having to deal with everything that had happened before. “No kidding. It’s stressing me out not knowing who could pop up next,” he admitted. So far he’d only encountered allies from Eos, but that could change at any time. He’d just have to be ready for Ardyn and the empire when and if they appeared. On her end, Tifa listed out a few names other than Sephiroth of people he should watch out for. The prince nodded along and then gave her a slightly concerned look when someone named Don Corneo apparently creeped her out so much that she actually shivered.“Uh…You okay?” He had about a thousand questions, but he wouldn’t push it in case she didn’t want to talk about it.
Tifa agreed to come by the Rising Stones to see the stray cats, which meant that she really was a cat lover since she was willing to brave seeing Alex for them. “I might make a stop there anyway once all this is over. Feel like I should check on Alex,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck with one gloved hand. Not the kind of thing he’d be telling Prompto about, but he didn’t want to leave things off with the other blond man without fully understanding what had gone down in Tifa’s bar. “The cats are definitely a good excuse though.”
Tifa humored his musings about space travel, and she even encouraged him by saying she’d be patient in their cooking lessons. She really was a good person, and Noct had to laugh when she said that if his attempts were too bad, then he could just pay for them to go out to eat. “Honestly that’s entirely fair. You’ve got a deal.” He was already mentally preparing to shell out the money. He didn’t doubt that Tifa would be patient, but she was probably underestimating just how bad he actually was. Ignis would probably pledge his allegiance to her if the prince actually managed to bake something at the end of this. “Er…by the way, you mentioned a casserole. Can we try something without vegetables?” He was absolutely petty enough to burn something that had too much green in it. Or beans. Beans were gross.
The bartender wished him luck tomorrow and said that she knew he’d be reunited with Ignis. “Thanks Tifa. Especially for letting us plan all this in your bar.” She put a hand on top of his when she said that she liked talking to him too, which surprised him a little, but he gave her a small smile in return. Her fingers were a little chilly from the night air, but his probably were too. “Guess we’ll have to pick a day for that baking lesson then.” He turned his hand over so that he could take hers as he got to his feet. Not that she needed help getting up, but sometimes he remembered his royal training. Sometimes.
“Ready to warp back down?” Almost as an afterthought, he sent their empty wine glasses back into his glaive. Until they were next needed at least. Actually, he should probably wash those upstairs before turning in.

"You and me both. I did luck out though with Sephiroth being taken from before he did all the horrible things he did, so I guess that's something." That didn't mean he wouldn't repeat what he had done, but that was something to take care of if it happened. It seemed as Noctis had noticed her reaction. "He was gross. He ran a sketchy part of Gaia, and would have people pick bride contestants for him and pick his favorite for the night. The worst part of it all, he was as gross looking as his personality was." Tifa was never one to judge someone by their looks, but he deserved it.
Noctis stated he should check on Alex and Tifa gave a nod. "That would be a good idea. I'm not the biggest fan of him, but everyone does stupid things." She didn't hate the guy, but she was still a little mad at him for using magic in her bar and trying to put poor Cindy to sleep. "Cats are always a good excuse." Her cat had been there for her when she needed someone, and from then on, she loved the little things. They could sense things you would never expect them to.
Tifa gave a smile and a nod when he agreed to pay for dinner if the cooking attempt ended up being unable to eat. When he requested that they make something without vegetables, she tilted her head to the side for a moment before giving a nod. "I'm sure I can find something. Not your favorite?" It didn't surprise her too much though, everyone had their preferences in food. It might be something to work on later though, even just a small amount could make a dish so much better.
"Absolutely, you're welcome anytime for any reason. Not a lot can surprise me at this point." The company had been nice as well, so there was that. She gave a nod at the baking lesson comment. "Definitely. Baking is a little easier than cooking, though it can be messier as well." His hand was cold as well, but she didn't mind as she tightened her grip on his hand after he turned it over, using it to help herself up.
Tifa watched as the wine glasses went back in the glaive, still mesmerized by it. Focusing back on him, she gave a nod. "At least I know what to expect this time." She moved closer to him, ready.

[attr=class,bulk] Tifa said that she’d at least gotten lucky with the version of Sephiroth that was here since he was taken before he’d done anything bad on Gaia. Privately, Noctis wasn’t so sure that was a blessing. It was great that he wasn’t a danger or anything, but the prince wasn’t sure how he’d react if a peaceful Ardyn turned up. That sounded like a good way to get Noct arrested before the misunderstanding was cleared up. He kept his thoughts to himself on that bit though.
Tifa gave him enough to react to anyway when she described Don Corneo for him. “That’s…really messed up. Not exactly brides if he throws them away the next day,” Noctis said with a grimace. “I hope you didn’t have to deal with him much.” He had no doubt that Tifa could take care of herself, but that still didn’t sound like the kind of guy she should have been anywhere near.
She encouraged his plan to check on Alex, which he appreciated since she was probably the only one who would. “Yeah, I just hope he’s not having a breakdown or something. I swear he wasn’t like that before, or I wouldn’t have brought him,” Noctis said with a frown. “Feeding the cats sounds like a good excuse to visit though.” He didn’t want to drag Tifa into anything else, but Alex hadn’t seemed to mind the bartender if she was around too.
She looked more confused than anything at his request for the baking lesson casserole to be free from vegetables. When she asked if he didn’t like them, he shivered much like Tifa had regarding Don Corneo. “Yeah, me and vegetables don’t really get along.” That was an understatement. Somehow he thought she would laugh at him though if he mentioned the time that he and Ignis had a deathmatch in a gas station parking lot over him not eating his greens.
Tifa said that he was welcome to visit at any time, which made Noctis hope that the streetlights wouldn’t show him getting a little red. “Thanks. Maybe I’ll take you up on that when Sonora calms down over the prison break.” He definitely didn’t want to bring any heat down on her bar after all, but it would be nice to visit after that.
She moved in a little closer so that he could warp them both down, and he appreciated the extra warmth given how chilly it was outside. Funny how he was only really starting to feel the temperature now that the wine was gone. Summoning the engine blade in one hand, he wrapped his other arm around Tifa’s waist before chucking the sword down towards the street. They shot after it in a blue streak before they were both suddenly standing safely down on the pavement. Noctis grinned faintly as he let go of her and banished his sword back into the glaive. “You handled that better than some kingsglaives do their first time, you know.” The prince himself had nearly puked, but that was a detail he didn’t want to relive tonight. Anyway, it was probably time to go upstairs and see what sleep he could still get before the jail break.
“Be safe going home,” Noctis said out of habit, since it was pretty late at night. Then he remembered that Tifa did martial arts, and he added an amendment to that. “I mean, I guess I should be more worried for the other guy if someone jumped you.”
