[Bri's so happy to get his acknowledgment that she leans into his pets even more. And just when he was going to stop too. Ah, I guess he does this for a little longer.]
[Not a full lie but not fully true, either. And while he would like to TAKE HER AWAY he just...sighs and lets it be. What can he do? It is kind of cute...
....
Barely.]
She can grow fond of certain people, so don't be too surprised if you see her run to you one day. Just indulge her a little...
...But if she gets too much, just tell her to stop. You can always bring her to the cafe or message me and I'll get her.
[There's going to be more of this? There's a small attempt in keeping the resignation out of the sigh he makes as he stops petting her, standing back to his full height.]
Right. I'll keep that in mind.
[Bri lets out a small whine. Cloud looks to her once more then back to Eustace. He's only doing all this for Tifa, so if they're done here—]
Is that everything you need for the party? [At least from him.]
[Eustace is going to walk over and pick up Bri. That's right, that dumb chocobutthead is abandoning you, return to father who will always love and dote on you.]
Not at this time, no. Your help was appreciated.
[And then a small pause.]
However, if you wish to help with any of the decorating later, you are welcome to.
[Cloud actually has to hide how relieved his is when she's taken away. Not that he really minds, but more not knowing how to deal with animals in general.]
But he'd rather not whatever is going on between them ruin Tifa's day so. While he usually prefers to deal with things quickly, he'll table it for now.]
See you then...and thanks for the help.
[So with that, he'll just give Cloud a nod and turn to walk off...ignoring Briallen's desperate cries for her new crush.
WAIT FOR ME HANDSOME GUY I WILL BE BACK FOR YOOOUUUU!!!]

Can't imagine why. All we did was the deliveries.

She's...like that.

Eustace studies Cloud for a moment before he asks what's been on his mind from the start.]
Does this make you uncomfortable?
["This" being anything at this point, given everything that's related.]
no subject
Why ask this now?]
What gave it away?
[He's able to stop himself from rolling is eyes but the sarcasm is evident in his voice.]
no subject
Also, don't hurt your neck.]
Just don't force yourself.

[This short king has got zero issues about his height, sir.]
I'll be at the party. [At least he can assure that much.]
no subject
[They COULD talk more about their...situation.
But he'd rather not whatever is going on between them ruin Tifa's day so. While he usually prefers to deal with things quickly, he'll table it for now.]
See you then...and thanks for the help.
