[The dragon beside her giggles as well before she's rushing in to grab the one that's perched on his head and shoulders, pulling the little one down as it protests while Tifa takes the one hanging off his arm to take into hers, and there's a strange ache in her chest, a twinge that she hadn't felt in... a little while as she sees him like this.
And though he might look annoyed, she knows where his heart really is.]
[Meanwhile, Tifa stands there and watches him, eyes wide at first, her and the little dragon in her arms startled by the sound...
... but as he rushes off and leaves her behind, she can't help but smile or giggle at the sight of him trying to wrangle several small dragons off the shelves, all of them absolutely thrilled by the attention that they're getting now and begging "big bro" to get the toys down so that he can come and play with them.
The dragon in her arms wriggles free and flies crookedly to join them all, leaving Tifa alone in the center of the room, surrounded by piles of the toys that they brought, all of them already strewn about. But it's Eustace that she watches. Grumpy as he looks, she knows that there's more to him beneath that...
And the thought makes her heart twist again, a longing ache settling in her chest that she's felt before. A silent wish that she knows will never come to pass, but one she can't help but wish for anyway... It's silly, wanting it even when the nature of this world won't let her. She can imagine it though, can't she? There was nothing wrong with that.
With something of a sad but warm smile, Tifa rushes in to join them.]
Hey, leave some toys for me!
[They'll spend a majority of their morning there, sticking around to help with lunch, and honestly? As chaotic as it is, Tifa does have fun. It's not as if this is anything new—they do this sort of thing every day with the dogs. And yes, they may be different, but it does make her miss them and wonder how they might be doing at home with Lyria. She knows that everyone is in good hands, though, so she'll at be able to enjoy their last day and night at the resort.
Enjoy the fancy dinner, the wines that they bring by, the pool just outside their door, and most of all, just being able to relax with her husband, forgetting all about their worries and responsibilities.. basking in his warmth and their love for just one more night.
And when it's time to leave, she might feel a little guilty for the dragons who are meant to clean up the starflowers and vines that have sprouted all throughout the room and outside...]

Would've thought you'd be used to this by now.

Dragons are a lot more livelier than dogs. Not to mention they can fly.
You can have a turn.
no subject
...Still think it's not a bad look.
[It warms her heart, even if it might not his.]
Feel like staying a while then? I know the two would probably like for us to stick around for a bit. And I can "have my turn."
no subject
But it's fine. We don't have any other plans.
no subject
Admit it. You think it's kinda cute.
[She's teasing.]

[Just low voice and a roll of his eyes, but his gaze does wander to how she's holding the little dragon.
...]
If you're not careful they're going to overrun you.
no subject
Wouldn't that be the worst...
[Meanwhile, the little dragon is looking between them, mouth hanging open and eyes wide, as if it's trying to discern what's going on here.]
If I get overrun and you never see me again, tell everyone I'm sorry and that I love them.
[There's a call from behind Eustace from the red dragon, beckoning them to come play.
But first!!!]

He just eyes her for a moment before he grins and jsut gives her a light peck on the lips. Have to be chaste in front of the children!]
As long as I'm the one you love most.
no subject
Melody might have something to say about that... but as long as we keep it a secret.
[Giggling, Tifa gives the dragon a pat on the head.]
Now let's go tire them out... I said we'd help in the kitchens before we left.

...Dammit, hey! No climbing on the shelves!
[HE'S JUST GOING TO HURRY OFF TO THE COMMOTION WHY DID THEY THINK SHELVES WERE GREAT TO HAVE WITH YOUNG DRAGONS!!]
💙❤️ fin.
