[It really is a shame that Tifa wasn't there to see all of it, but she can hear a bit of commotion coming from upstairs, mostly in the form of muffled shouting and the banging of what she can only assume are bodies hitting the floor, and not to dance. But she has no time to wonder just what kind of a distraction he's created because these knights are calling to her, reminding her that they only have so much time before the Queen suspects something and comes down to check on them.
So, she gets to work freezing the metal, as quick as she can but careful enough that she doesn't accidentally give any of them frostbite. It's a small sacrifice to make, they tell her, but if she can avoid anyone getting hurt in the process, then she'll take it. Still, it'll be a while before she can free them all, and some of them are fine with keeping the chains on their hands in favour of getting out quicker, but at last, with all of them in tow, she leads the way back up out of the weird dungeon and into the club proper.]
Get out of here. We can take care of the rest.
[Some of them tell her that they'd rather stay behind to help, but she refuses, shooing them to the door while she still can, while all eyes are on Eustace.
... Speaking of ...
Where is he?
The fighting and shouting has stopped and instead, an audience has formed around the main stage, including the Queen who seems to be enamoured with whatever the show is. Well, good. It's a decent opening to get the knights out, and so with one last shoo out the door, Tifa turns back around to look for her "partner in crime." Much to the chagrin of the people lining up to watch, she forces her way to the front, only to find—
"Waste of my time, next."
She stumbles past the few men in leather at the front and when she stands upright, she finds herself face to face with him, a whip in his hands and... did he remove some of his clothes!?]
Eustace!?
[Shiva's frostbitten tits, what is going on here???
The crowd starts to cheer, whistle, and whoop at her, with some of the men and women checking her out from behind. One of them pushes her forward again and she catches herself just short of toppling right into Eustace.]
