Suddenly tuning into the conversation going on in the corner, Tifa's head whipped round.
"Marlene, do not finish that sentence! I told you. Do. Not. Listen. To. Reno!" She turned back.
"Now, what was I saying?"

He took a sip of his drink and chuckled as the young woman wrinkled her nose at the bills he had handed her.
"That there's the smell of nature, Ms Lockhart. Good, clean nature!" He downed his drink and placed the glass on the bar for a refill. "Did I ever tell you about the time I was working at the chocobo rodeo? We used to travel around showin' off our chocobos. Of course, this was all before the plate and that... Back in the good ol' days..."

She couldn't help herself, by the time she'd realised what she was saying it had left her mouth. Cissnei had just chosen the wrong time to walk though the doors, a little girl's voice had rang out loud and clear, any chances of pretending she'd misheard Marlene's words had been quickly stamped out by Elena's choked question.
"Reno's who's boyfriend?!"

Cissnei was the saviour of Gaia- Elena knew it as the brunette interjected herself into the conversation at just the right moment.
Marlene didn't look very impressed at being stopped from explaining, so Elena looked to her colleague.
"Ciss, Reno is Marlene's boyfriend."

"yes Richard, you told me... many, many times..." Tifa scrubbed half heartedly at a glass and tuned him out slightly. She could hear the voice, but not the words. That was the trick to dealing with these people.
She noticed Cissnei entering, and noted the relieved look on Elena's face. Must have interrupted Marlene. Thank Bahamut for small mercies.

Just then, the door burst open with a crash, revealing the booted foot that had opened it.
"Hey, everybody!" a cheerful - and ever-so-slightly obnoxious voice - rang out. "Make way for the Great Ninja Yuffie, Single White Rose of Wutai"
The result was less than spectacular. There were maybe all of two customers there this early in the day, not counting that Turk girl, Elena. Oh, and whatserface. Cissnei.
"Hey there, 'Laney," mock-saluted, then grinned, extra-large. "And heeeey Tifa and Marlene! Say, watcha talking about?"
She didn't miss the delicate shade of pink Elena's cheeks went.

Being both amused and annoyed by the increasing barrage of attention being fired at her, Marlene remembered what Reno had told her to tell Tifa when she was 'bad'mouthing him', she turned to her surrogate mother and loudly said.
"Toots' you know you want him rwealy."
The bar fell silent for a few moments, and then...
"Hey, everybody! Make way for the Great Ninja Yuffie, Single White Rose of Wutai"

"Notice how I got no hello?" The young Turk simply shook her head as she chose the seat next to Marlene's - when it came to Yuffie, she may as well have been a cardboard cut-out!

Tifa was about to give a frantic response to Marlene's loud and rather lewd outburst (Reno's fault, obviously. The man was dead next time he showed his face here), only to be interrupted by an almighty bang as the door was kicked in, revealing the petite ninja with the biggest attitude Tifa had ever come across. It was quite possibly the worst case of over compensation since Sephiroth and the Masamune. At least, if you went on the rumours from the Shinra secretaries...
"Hey Yuffie. Nice of you to stop by. And break my wall." Sure enough, there was a sizeable dent in the woodwork where the door handle had bounced off it. "I hope you realise that you're the one getting that fixed."

Richard sipped his drink idly as his talked about the rodeo. Once he was lost in a memory it took a lot to get him out of it. What did drag him back into the present was a loud crash as the door burst open. He looked behind at the figure in the door and recognised the young wutaian girl that sometimes came to the bar. What was her name again...?
"Make way for the Great Ninja Yuffie, Single White Rose of Wutai"
...Oh, yeah. That was it... Yuffie. He smiled and went back to his drink. The one thing he could be certain of was that a night in the Seventh Heaven was always exciting...

"Eheh, sorry about that, Teef." Yuffie gave her a huge grin; unfortunately Tifa seemed to be immune. "Um, well, let's settle accounts later! No need to ruin a heartwarming reunion, right?"
She seated herself on one of the stools and looked around.
"Hey, I don't see Cloud's spiky butt here anywhere. Is he around?"

Great...now the biggest headache on Gaia had walked in.
"Ignore her Cissnei - she's just a kid...with a big mouth."
Elena still had a smirk on her face from hearing Marlene's words, addressed to Tifa. With a possible malevolent glint in her eyes, she winked at Cissnei and turned back to Marlene.
"Marlene, huni - does Reno ever say anything about Yuffie?"

Tifa sighed at the mention of Cloud's name.
"He's doing something out near the Chocobo ranch. I think he said something about taking Denzel for riding lessons."

Reeve sauntered in behind his employee, rolling his eyes at the obnoxious display she chose to put on that drew far less attention than she had hoped. She skipped to the bar and greeted them, apparently having forgotten about her companion entirely. Reeve shrugged, unperturbed and followed her.
He heard Tifa's complaint about the damage to the wall and he winced. "The WRO will compensate, Miss Lockheart. Miss Kisaragi's actions are unfortnately my responsibility until she clocks out." He threw a glance at the glowering ninja. "Don't forget the deal, Yuffie. One beer and you have to finish those mission reports."

Tifa raised an eybrow. She hadn't noticed Reeve coming in. Turning her attention away from Yuffie for a moment, she smiled.
"Oh no, I couldn't possibly take from the WRO's funds. I happen to know Yuffie has a saving account in Wutai. I'm sure that can cover the repairs." her voice was saccharine, and she gave Yuffie a cheeky wink.
