[She only has one ear pierced, so a second would have just been an extra—
And in contrast to the jeweller's disbelief, Tifa can only giggle when Eustace hands it to her in that unceremonious way, and she takes it just as gracefully as if there had been a bigger show about it.]
Thank you.
[She knows that Eustace is genuine, at least. It was his idea to come here, after all. Still, it makes her heart flutter at the reminder that this is, technically, a gift from him. A feather, much like the one that she had given him, in some way. It might not have the same meaning, but it has a meaning—one that is unique to them and whoever owned this before her. A memento for today. One that she considers an important one because they were able to reconcile everything.
Maybe she's being a little too sentimental. Maybe she is reading into things too much, but is it so bad to think that this is a good thing? A step back in the right direction? Especially when she realized today how much she missed his company, and how strange it was not having him around.
Her gaze lingers on him for a moment, and she exhales with a shaky, breathy laugh before her expression softens as she slides her old earring away to put in the new one, a hand resting beneath it as she poses for him.]
Well? How does it look?
[As her heart races in her chest, waiting for his verdict as if it were the most important thing in the world right now.]
