[....Hm.]
I'm actually not sure. If it's just vow renewals... Maybe not? Who would we even ask...
[Since Trahearne officiated their wedding and is...no longer around.]

Do they need to be official? I don't even know...
[She just wants to tell him all over again how much she loves him, but... an idea springs to mind.]
You think Joshua would wanna do it?
[It probably isn't needed, but... he has helped them in so many ways already that it would make the most sense. If anyone here could do it, it would be a prince, for one, but more than that, she owes quite a bit to him.]

Joshua?
[It's an unexpected name, but... He can't help but smile a little.]
I think so. It's not a bad choice, especially after everything we've done for each other.
[In some ways it's interesting to think how quickly their friendship had grown—unexpectedly, really.]

He hardly knows us and he's always willing to help.
[Her smile spreads, and it's both grateful and tinged with a bit of sadness. She doesn't like finding friends through adversity, but it just happens sometimes. Not that she isn't appreciative of it, but she wishes that it could have been under better circumstances.]
When the time comes, we can ask, though I doubt it'll be a problem.
[A pause, and she leans her head against his again.]
... Something to look forward to for all of us.

Mm.
[A quiet hum as he closes his eyes and leans against her, his hand finding hers to take it and brush his thumb against her palm.]
I think that's something we all could use right now...

I think so, too. So we're gonna do it.
[Her own fingers curl around his, her other hand coming to rest over it.]
... Hey. Do you want me to grab us some food? You can stay in the water a little longer while I have some sent up for us.
[Her own fingers curl around his, her other hand coming to rest over it.]

Sure, if you don't mi—
[And as if on cue, his stomach, which has been empty for the several days he was out, lets out a large growl that can be heard even from underwater, and he just looks at her blankly before snorting and laughing a bit.]
Better make it quick.

[She leans all the way back from him with round, surprised eyes at the sound of his stomach before she, too, breaks out into giggles.]
So hasty. Here I was just trying to enjoy a moment with my husband.
[Though she can feel a grumble of her own coming on after barely having eaten herself in the last three days besides what the attendants and medics have told her to eat. So she gives him one last kiss and climbs out of the water before he can hear it, running her fingers over his ears and wrapping herself up in a towel so that she can head inside. Meanwhile, she insists that he continues to relax in the water—the pool's healing properties will do wonders for him—while she gets dressed and heads down to the front desk.
They'll leave the food at the door, a combination of fruits and vegetables, sandwiches, juices, and even a bottle of wine, for her to fetch, and it's at the edge of the pool where they enjoy it, her feet dangling in the water as she munches on and feeds him fruits while they talk about all sorts of things. Telling him what Tifa had been up to while he was asleep, which wasn't much, about how they might want to renew their vows, about what sorts of gifts they could bring back down for Lyria and the dogs...
And when all of that is through, inside they go where Tifa is content to simply be with him. To be in his company as they lie in bed together, chatting their way into a nap, with her dozing off first. It's a sleep that she has needed and has struggled to get, and she desperately needed. A dreamless, restful sleep at her husband's side, now that he is safe and sound and awake again.
Not so dreamless that she doesn't recognize the sweet scent of their flowers, or the soft lull of his breathing, or the warmth of his body as it wraps around hers. Not so dreamless that she doesn't remind herself that this... this right here is what she will continue to love and fight for, no matter where they are, no matter the nightmares, no matter how hard it may be.
This—he is her life now. Every part of him, nightmares and all. And she wouldn't have it any other way.]
