[With that earlier knot worked out, Tifa allows her eyes to shut, falling into a daze as the man works on her lower back, around her waist and hips where most of her own tension has built up. She should probably practice more stretching and meditation here because she can feel the ache when he runs his fingers along those muscles. He tells her to exhale, and she does, more than once, and it does wonders in loosening them up.
But her attention surges back when she hears what's going on at the bed next to hers. Is she... touching Eustace's ears? No no, petting them? Something hot winds up in Tifa's stomach, twisting and turning slowly until it's so tight that she feels like it's going to snap. She tries to shake it off, ignore whatever is going on inside her head and focus on relaxing herself...
"Oh my gosh, I could pet these ears forever~"
Tifa's shoulders and neck suddenly seize up then, and the man's hands snap away when she lets out a small, pained noise from the back of her throat.
This time, it's the woman who addresses her.
"Uh oh, something wrong? You suddenly tensed up again. Even I can see that from across the room."
Tifa just shakes her head, keeping her face down, only to hide the redness searing underneath her skin as she feels fingers digging deeper into her neck and shoulders to—once again, sigh—work out the tension that shot up into them.
Here she goes again, cursing at herself. Why did that bother her so much? He is free to let anyone pet his ears if he wants to... It's not as if Tifa's the only person who's allowed to, and yet... the thought of another woman doing so makes her feel... upset...
Being ridiculous again, Tifa!
"Alright, alright. Just relax." Meanwhile, the man smiles knowingly across at his partner.]
