[The gasp is the last thing Tifa hears when she's tugged. Her face lands only inches away from his, her body hovering over him in the chair, hands on his shoulders to catch herself from falling any further. If he's listening to her pulse still, he'll hear it quicken as she finds herself staring down at him. Does she need to keep playing along, or do they have a plan...?
For a while, the entire room seems to come to a complete stop, and it feels like an eternity while the silence lingers, everyone, including her, holding their breaths. Even with the music thumping, Tifa swears she can hear his breathing, and his heartbeat over it all.]

[She would have come up with that quip sooner, if she weren't somehow almost out of breath. And that's when the crowd "ooo's" at them, the men clapping and egging them on.
Well, not for long because a man about double their size with horns stomps up onto the stage and shoves his way past those that are waiting in line, and towers over them. His red eyes fix on Tifa, but she freezes, remaining on top of Eustace, her lips coming close to his ear so that she can whisper.]

A guard?
[Maybe now's the time to drop the act?]
