Glad to hear it!

[He’ll be honest, he almost didn’t recognize her for a second. If not for her voice, it may have took a few more moments before he realized who she was. She looks so different dressed up as she is now. Mostly because he’s not used to seeing her in such formal attire. But it doesn’t surprise him at all that she knows exactly what would make her look incredible.

So at the realization of who she is, there is a small moment of surprise before it washes away and a smile finds its way onto his face.]

No, I would said you nailed it.

[He leans over and gives her a kiss right back on the cheek before taking one of the champagne flutes from her. The little bit of intimacy will likely go a much longer way tonight than one might think. Now the two of them looked like a couple who were out together for the night. That means Tifa won’t have to worry about people bothering her or coming to ask for a dance or even trying to get her to ho home with them.

She could have a nice peaceful evening, something that he knows she wants.]

Is the dress new or something you’ve been saving for the right occasion?

[He’d honestly wondered how she might look all dressed up. She didn’t disappoint, not for a single second.]

[ It's the first time she's worn anything this formal out, and she definitely feels a bit like a kid in dress up. Looking around, though, she's not at all out of line, blending in well despite how awkward the train had been.

For a moment she thinks Sanjiro's face is judgement, that she's misread something, but the smile she knows; it relaxes her. She surprised him. Good. She's alright with that.

She's also alright with them looking like a couple, a thing he does more and more often for her. And they are, in a way. Even if this is casual between friends, they have an intimacy she doesn't offer anyone else. ]

Jessie took me to a costume sale when they were cleaning out the theater. She talked me into buying it, but it's the first time I've worn it. I honestly expected to wear it to a costume party, not a real event, but it's a real dress.
