[Eustace's gaze has momentarily returned to the rose in the jar after Clover had run off, but his attention goes back to Tifa when she starts talking. Contrary to her worries, he doesn't think much of her being in her sleepwear, though most of that is due to him being preoccupied with other thoughts and more immediate concerns such as Clover, as well as having already accepted that he was sleeping over. The full impact of that notion has yet to really hit him.
And it's going to remain that way for a little while more when he sees her reaction upon looking up at him. Belatedly he realizes he had come out without a shirt, though...okay that's partly his fault. He doesn't normally wear shirts to sleep, so while he has something for the morning, it's not one that would be comfortable sleeping in. Now, he does have casual shirts that would have worked, but either Eria chose his clothing on purpose or just grabbed whatever in a huff. It could go either way, really.
Still...it's not as if she's never see him shirtless before. Okay, the first time is not the best remembered experience, but still, guys go around shirtless all the time. Is it because of the context? In her apartment? ...Him...?
...
He's watching her silently as her face flushes and she turns around, her voice an octave higher. He shouldn't, but he does find her reaction a little amusing. Briefly Eustace wonders if he should just put on the shirt and then take it off later when he goes to sleep on the couch, but instead he ends up slowly walking towards her to sit down near Clover.
Which is of course, also right next to Tifa.]
She complained the entire time, but I've had to give her baths back in Celliwig. Transforming into a cat helps her settle a bit at first.
...She still managed to sink her claws in.
[And just idly raises a hand to show off a few of those marks. They've already been cleaned and will heal on their own, but he may be doing this deliberately.
