Thanks. Found it at the last minute, but I kinda like it!
[She genuinely appreciates the compliment, especially after feeling like she should have dressed up some more for the occasion—only because the people seated at the tables around them look far more extravagant than she does! But there isn't much time to linger on the thought because she can feel the stare drilling into the sides of her face as well, so she's thankful when the waiter arrives with their menus and a pair of glasses to fill with their complementary special wine for the evening.
For now, Tifa's going to ignore the woman on the bench who looks like she's got a chokehold on those flowers, and like their heads might pop off and explode if she holds them any tighter. Time to figure out what to eat...!]
Since this was my idea, I'm paying for dinner. Order whatever you want.
[The menu flips open, and her expression immediately droops.
