[Susato can probably (definitely) guess with the way a flush settles into Tifa's cheeks in a colour that matches the bright, vibrant red of the drink, but she silently appreciates the girl's patience as she works through in her head how to tell her. She could come right out and say it and that would be the simplest way, but that was never the Tifa way.

So, she takes a moment to clean up the tumbler, popping the lid on and moving it aside before she leans over the counter to prop her chin up on her hand. The glass moon at her neck dangles and rests on the bar, and its yellow glow flickers brighter, feeding off the joy and anticipation and the jitters that she's feeling right now.]

Guess there's no point in beating around the bush, huh?

[Don't think she hasn't noticed Susato's eyes occasionally moving to look at her necklace! As much as she'd like to ask for her verdict on the drink—

Her fingers curl around the dog tag and she lifts it, sliding it along its silver chain.]

I wanted you to be one of the first to know, but... Eustace and I are getting married... [A beat, and her smile spreads.] You already knew that, didn't you?
