[selfportraiture]

Huh? Oh, uh, sure. You can ask, anyway.

[suplexer]

[ And with that, Tifa's expression softens slightly. ]

Well... just like you'd like for us to keep an eye on Usagi, I wonder if I can ask you to do the same for Rose? She's pretty good at taking care of herself, but if you ever get the sense that something's going on with her, or that she might need a friend, I'd like to know.

[ At least it's an equal exchange? ]

[selfportraiture]

Oh, sure. I can't exactly ask you to take care of Usagi and refuse, right?

[And she doesn't really mind. Despite her prickly nature, taking care of the people who are hers comes naturally.]

Still, she does seem good at taking care of herself. She was definitely the spunkiest of all of us back in that room.

[suplexer]

[ Fondly: ] That doesn't surprise me at all. That's just kind of how she is, but...

[ Here she leans forward so she can talk a little more quietly. ] Between you and me, sometimes it's her putting on a brave face. So just keep an eye out, okay?

[selfportraiture]

Ah, so she's one of those... got it.

[She is familiar with the type.]

I'll keep an eye on her. I promise.

[suplexer]

[ Tifa smiles fondly, glad to see that she's gotten the idea across without much trouble. ]

I appreciate it. And... is there anything I should keep in mind for Usagi?

[selfportraiture]

[She opens her mouth...


... and closes it again with a sigh.

There's a lot she should know about Mafuyu, and yet. None of it is Ena's to tell, so--]

Just--don't let her get away with being so polite that it's to her own detriment.

[suplexer]

Hmm...

[ While Botan has no way of knowing it, this is such a callout. Tifa's guilty of the same sort of thing, not that she's going to let onto that now. ]

I know that type, too. I'll try to keep an eye out for it, then.

[selfportraiture]

[Just wait until she finds out.

Juuust wait.]

I appreciate it. Really.

[Ahem.]

Anyway! We didn't really mean to crash your dorm for too long. I'm sure everyone's pretty tired. We should get out of your hair.

[suplexer]

Oh, it's fine! [ Waves her off. ] It's sweet that you wanted to check on your friend, and I promise that we'll look out for her.

[ Most of the members of their little group seem like the type that do that, it seems. ]
