Just as she figured, he was suprised to see her. "Hey." She was glad to see him again. He was great to talk to, and she didn't know how long it would be before she saw him again. As he pointed out his blue light thing was distinctive, she giggled. "It really is." She watched as he looked over to the clock and mentioned it must of been a rough shift. "Nothing I couldn't handle. I've gotten used to it over the years. Yeah, most bars are open pretty late. I'm just glad there is a time to call it quits." Tifa couldn't imagine what it would be like if bars never closed.

Noctis then apologized for what had happened during their planning and she shook her head. "Don't be sorry. I've been through meetings that ended up like that before, it really wasn't a big deal." She thought back to some of the meetings for Avalanche and how worked up Barret could get. A lot of theirs ended up just like his had gone. If Tifa had to be honest, it felt like she was right back under Seventh Heaven, listening to Biggs and Barret go back and forth. How she missed that...

Tifa couldn't imagine everything that was going through Noctis' head right now. "I don't blame you at all, I'm sorry about your friends. I really hope everything goes alright. You're always welcome at the bar, and you can reach out if you need anything." She wasn't sure what exactly she could offer to him at the moment, but she could at least lend an ear for him for the moment, and have a place for him and his friends to get together as well.

Noctis offered some wine to her and she gave a smile. "I'm used to being up late, and my place is kind of boring. I will gladly take you up on that offer. It's been a while since I've been served a drink." To be honest, it had been a while since she had a drink at all. There were times they drank after successful missions or meetings, but she was always the one serving so she never drank too much. Having a drink would be perfect right now.

Since they had left Provo, there had been some tension between them. Well, that's what she thought anyways. It might just be Cloud was deep in thought and not talking much that made her feel like that, but also that was how Cloud was. He had never been much of a talker, even when they were kids. It didn't help that she was lost in thought herself, so even she wasn't much good at holding a conversation at the moment either.

Some time later, she heard about something going on over on Mount Hotan. There was snowboarding, and she thought that would be great for Cloud. After she suggested it, the two decided to make their way over, and now here they were. It had taken a bit for her to get used to the snowboard, but now she was used to it and it had become a lot easier for her to not almost fall flat on her face, which she was proud to say had not happened to her.

The best part of it all though was watching Cloud. It was like everything that had happened to him had vanished and he was finally able to enjoy himself. Maybe it was because they were so far from everything and he was doing something he liked doing, but Tifa didn't care. She would stay up here as long as possible to continue seeing him like this.

Snapping her out of her thoughts, she gave him a smile. "You know I never say no to a challenge." She gave him a wink and thumbs up. She was a little nervous though, but she was sure with Cloud around, it would be fine.

Tifa was wiping the bar down for what seemed to be the tenth time that hour. Business had been pretty slow, but it was a weekday after all. Sure she had her regulars here for the lunch special, but that was about it. Though she did use it to her advantage and had gotten some deep cleaning in so it hadn't been all bad. Not to say the bar was dirty by any means, but there were some areas she couldn't get to if there were customers in the bar.

The regulars in the bar mostly consisted of men on their lunch break, and she would get a few women here and there. To her, it was because men liked bar food and having a beer with their meal. Others would say the men were there for her, but she didn't think that was true. She didn't think she was ugly, but she certainly didn't think she was a good reason to come spend money on one place so often.

Tifa was just clearing a table and wiping it down when a blonde girl she had never seen before came in. Setting the dishes in the sink, she washed her hands before hearing her ask a question. "Well we have our seltzer drinks. They're fizzy like soda and are fruity. Mixed drinks aren't too bad for alcohol content, and can taste better than beer. We do have an assortment of light beers as well." Tifa did make sure to make a note to keep an eye on the new customer, since she mentioned she was a light drinker.

The conversation with Alex hadn't been too bad, but she still wasn't happy with him. There was a reason magic wasn't allowed in her bar, and it was guys like him who proved that it was a good choice. They could have just told Cindy it was a private get together, or something else besides knocking her out. Then he had the balls to ask her out, that was the icing on the cake. She would give him points for shooting his shot, but he was too far on her shit list for it to matter.

As she returned, she gave a small smile to Caius. "It was nothing, he's still a customer, even if he is a pain in the ass. Gave you guys time to work things out as well." She wasn't sure what else she would have done while they were all doing their thing anyways, besides get them more drinks. Even then, that wouldn't take up a lot of time.

It seemed as though they were starting to get back on track because they started discussing options. Tifa gave a small smile, remembering the days when her and her friends would sit around doing this exact same thing. The Aerith rescue was decently close to the same thing the boys and Cindy were doing now, except there probably wasn't a psycho scientist involved. She shuddered a little bit at thought of Hojo.

Noctis apologized to her and she looked over at his friends. "I've dealt with worse, though Alex is on his last strike so he better watch it." She watched Noctis' face fall a bit at the sight of Alex walking back in, and she didn't blame him for his order. "Coming right up." Heading behind the bar, she grabbed out five rocks glassed and put ice in them before pouring Jack Daniels in each.

As she brought them out to them, she heard them at least somewhat trying to make amends with each other. After all that had been said before, she wasn't sure if everything could be fixed between them all, especially between Alex and Prompto. She had decided to just hand them all their glasses, since they all probably needed it at this point. She handed Prompto his last, giving his shoulder a small squeeze and a smile as she went behind the bar, letting him know that everything was alright with her, and what Alex had said didn't effect her view of him.

Hopefully everything went better from here on out.
