[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.]

[flamekthunder]

[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.

[spikyheaded]

[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.]

Is it the same day as the party?

[flamekthunder]

Correct. Lyria will take Tifa out for the afternoon so we'll have some time.

[spikyheaded]

[There's a short moment when he thinks about it before he sighs. He tries to keep his response non-committal.]

I'll see if I can make it.

[flamekthunder]

[...Hum.

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.]

[spikyheaded]

[Cloud side-eyes Eustace at the question as if sizing him up.

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.]

[flamekthunder]

[It's fine, he does the same thing so it just rolls right off him, so there's just the softest sigh.

Also, don't hurt your neck.]

Just don't force yourself.

[spikyheaded]

Got no plan to.

[This short king has got zero issues about his height, sir.]

I'll be at the party. [At least he can assure that much.]

[flamekthunder]

...Hm.

[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.

[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!!!]
