[Stepping in, he immediately notices the bag and it doesn't take much for him to guess what she's doing. With the current situation and how selfless she can be, he's not surprised she would offer her home to the refugees. It also means she has somewhere to go...or he assumes she does. Should he ask?
But that's for later. Moving his gaze from the bag, he looks at her and once again feels the bundle stirring in his arms.

How...does he begin when he knows she'll just be upset again? He didn't think he would be so bothered by it, but that sharp feeling from before pricks at him. Never before had he thought about not wanting to upset someone else in such a way, yet once again Tifa manages to stir different feelings and thoughts.
But he can't keep this from her and she has a right to know. So he takes a breath as he steps towards her.]
...I arrived into Celliwig too late to help with the fight so I assisted with the evacuation and then later...the recovery. The place we went to... ...
[Never before had he found reporting something so difficult. He's had to relay detailed reports of death and devastation countless times before, though it had always been in an official capacity.

But somehow it's difficult in front of her. Is it because she's a friend and he actually...cares?
In the end he just stops there and uncovers the bundle to reveal the small, black kitten quivering and clearly still terrified. It was a little bruised, but had been treated prior to his return.]
