[ despite reira's laughter through the words, tifa feels a wave of sadness in hearing them, in the idea that someone wouldn't believe themselves worth any amount of money to save. does she have no one at home to seek saving her? being a popular singer, she must know so many people, so surely, she has to know people who care for her like that ...
tifa's nearly prepared to grab the girl's hands and assure her of that, but reira's already taking a drink and immediately moving forward before she has the chance to.
though there's still concern, her expression softens at the offer, giving her an earnest smile and an honest nod. ]
I'd really like to hear you sing, Reira. Whatever song is your favorite.
( it was difficult for someone like her to linger in the many emotions she felt for very long. she had very little experience in handling them properly and had no desire to allow those waves of negativity to swallow her. even here where things were so different and so much was expected of all of them— it seemed that she was still the same person down at her core.
sure she had changed a bit, becoming more independent and providing comfort for others instead of selfishly demanding it all the time, but when it came to things like this she still fell back on old habits. so she took this opportunity to guide the conversation to something different, something that left that emotional lull in the past. )
You know I find that most people have barely ever heard of any of the music I know or like, much less music from my band. There are people here from a similar world to mine...so they're able to understand the lyrics to some of my songs.
( with her drink in hand, she began to walk into the living room, waving her free hand for tifa to follow her. )
I'll be singing this without any music, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
( she placed her drink down on a coffee table in the center of the room and pushed back her hair before clearing her throat a bit. after a few moments, when tifa was finally settled in and prepared to listen, she began to outstretch her arms before slowly lifting them up. she began to sing the first lines of one of her own favorite songs. )
'I reached into the sky....'
( and off she went, singing the first minute of the song before jumping to the last verse and ending it. )
