[Did you like that cringe, Tifa? He had to suffer through it as well, but it did the job. Taking on the over doting "lover," an image that would be a stark contrast to how he normally appears, would certainly sell that they have deep and affectionate relationship. Of course the moment the waiter disappears that warm expression cools a bit, but he can hear the soft whispers and murmurs of those around them.
He can also feel that burning gaze through the window.
Initially he had planned to return to his normal state, but now that the attention was on them, his gaze remains transfixed on Tifa. He had disliked this plan from the start and now he's farthest from his ideal "peace and quiet" right now, even if this is ultimately to help them deal with their problem.
So if Tifa is looking carefully, she might notice a subtle shift in his expression. There's a small flicker or gleam in his eye as he takes back her hand and holds it up slightly between them, leaning slightly forward towards her.]
When I have an assignment, I don't cut corners. [His voice is low enough for only her to hear as he brings her hand to his lips.] So prepare yourself.
[His eyes never break away from hers as he lightly kisses her hand before he sits back, releasing her.
It's on, Tifa. You wanted this date to convince the stalker. He's known for completing all his missions efficiently and with top performance. This will be no exception.
And this could also be some kind of punishment for making him have to play this farce.]
