Yes she did!
Hi, Nick!
Boop.
/ it's so difficult to be consistently active in two places at once, so im sorry for disappearing a lot π€‘
ββHey, Nick!β
Pat pat.
.... peeks in.
to see you return safe and sound. How did it go on your time away?β
She smiles at that response, starting to prepare a celebratory drink almost right away. Even after all this time spent away, she's missed him dearly and wished him well, whatever his plans may have been. Admittedly it is good to see him back.
βI'm happy for you, then. I gotta say I am happy
... and what's he bringing then?
..... nevermind.
βIt has! Lots of things happening behind the scenes but it's been exciting, even more now that you're back. I've missed you.β She spoke with genuine concern in her tone, returning the hug until it was time to move away.
βWhat made you simply disappear? No way of contacting you either.β
That voice sounded so familiar... so when Tifa turns around and finds Nick standing by the entrance, her ruby hues shot wide with amazement and joy. Almost tempted to leap the counter to greet him.
βNick! Gaia, it's been so long! Two years now, right? How have you been!?β
/ hahaha i understand. i need to be here more often, especially for those that want nothing to do with the old place.
/ missed you too!! so glad to see you back honestly.
Morning!
