Who: Tifa and Cosima
What: Some more furniture shopping and making a new friend!
When: Wednesday evening
Where: Starting a coffee shop, then some furniture places around New Creandi
Warnings: Other than the possibility of Cosima coughing up blood at some point, should be low!



It was certainly fortunate that Cosima had found an apartment so she could focus on finding furniture and things to decorate it. It gave her something to focus on that wasn't Valentine's Day. Which seemed to be a big deal in this place. While Cosima was all for the day and enjoyed the spirit of love, even loved seeing couples enjoying the day together, this year she was more than a bit of a Scrooge about it. She wouldn't admit it, but she was depressed the closer to the 14th they came. She'd fallen in love in her own world when she knew she shouldn't have, but her faith in people blinded her to Delphine. And while she'd arrived here before she found out about Delphine's betrayal, she'd seen it on that television show she was from. It had been difficult for her to handle, and thus made it difficult to see all the Valentine's Day decorations in stores and hear classmates and co-workers discussing plans for their sweethearts the following Friday.

But she pushed all those thoughts and feelings aside to focus on happier things. She was meeting Tifa to go shopping for some furniture today. After she was done with her lab, Cosima headed back to the room she was currently renting to drop off her backpack before heading off to the coffee shop. She arrived a bit early, taking the opportunity to get herself a coffee. She then waited, keeping an eye open for Tifa as she pulled a list out. She'd found a couple things the previous day when she'd gone shopping with Joan, but she still needed more things. Cosima had pulled her dreadlocks back into her signature ponytail, so they were out of the way. They were more easily controlled this way.

Tifa had never come across Valentine's Day before, it simply didn't exist in her and Cloud's world, but people seemed to really go all out for it here. There were heart shaped things everywhere and so much red. She thought it was actually a lovely idea though couldn't help thinking that it seemed a little odd to focus so much on one day, surely if you loved someone you would show it every day. And not in grand gestures of expensive flowers or chocolates but in small every day things.

Still she enjoyed looking at the displays in the windows as she walked to the coffee shop. Tifa was looking forward to having a fun shopping trip and hopefully finding a few new things for the bar, or at least gaining some new ideas. She was on time, as she usually was and entering the shop she looked around for her new shopping friend.

Cosima glanced up to see Tifa arrive and she smiled. "Oh, hey Tifa!" She said with a wave. She folded her list back up and slipped it back into her purse before she went over to greet Tifa properly. "It's awesome to meet you in person," she said with a friendly, slightly crooked smile as she extended her hand in greeting.

"Did you want to get a coffee or something before heading out? I admit I kind of needed the caffeine boost after class today." She chuckled a bit. "And don't really mind me, I can sometimes babble a lot. If it gets on your nerves or something, just tell me to stop talking or something. Totally fine with that, I won't be offended, promise." She did certainly have a tendency to ramble at times, but Cosima always meant well. She tended to get on science-related tangents a lot, or she babbled when she was overly excited about something. Cosima was, generally, an excitable person.

"Hi" Tifa replied waving back as Cosima came over to her, "Good to meet you too" she smiled as she shook the other womans hand.

"Oh yeah, that would be great actually. Do you want another?" she offered moving to stand in line to grab a coffee before they headed out.

She grinned as Cosima babbled a little, she reminded Tifa of Yuffie which was nice in a bittersweet way. "Oh don't worry, I have a friend who talks a lot and a very precocious little girl so I think I can handle it" It was nice too, Tifa wasn't exactly quiet but she never really babbled either. She said something when she needed to although she had gotten more talkative with the children.

"One for the road definitely would be good," Cosima said with a grin as she got in line with Tifa. She could certainly use the extra dose of caffeine. She wasn't tired or anything, but something to give her that extra boost was never turned down.

"Oh good, I'm glad for that. I have" friends? sisters? clones? "friends at home that don't always appreciate babbling. They tend to steer me back onto the topic if I start getting off of it too much." She laughed. Sarah tended to not have much patience, though given the circumstances of their situation, Cosima didn't exactly blame her. Cosima had tried to desperately see the good in their situation, though after what she'd learned since being here, that was infinitely harder to hold onto but she was still trying.

"It'll maybe help us find those perfect pieces" Tifa smiled, she had learned to love coffee quite quickly, it was a nice drink and definitely helped keep her alert.

"I think it's a rather endearing quality actually" Tifa assured her before they placed their orders at the counter, "So do you have anything specific you're looking for now?" she asked curiously.

"You're definitely right on that!" Cosima grinned. It always did help to have that extra burst of energy. Though Cosima also had quite the natural stamina. She sort of needed it being a student pursuing her doctorate.

"It's always nice to meet someone who thinks that." Sarah had obliged her ramblings at time, but Sarah also hadn't been the most patient person ever. After placing her order, she turned to Tifa. "Yeah, I'm looking for a desk. Not precisely picky on how it looks, but I generally like having a larger one so I can spread my books and papers out on it easier. I'm also looking for some shelving. There's some built-in in the apartment I'm moving in to, but I'd like some more. I did find a couch yesterday, so maybe an arm chair or two that I can pair with it as well. And I do have a picture of the couch so I don't end up choosing arm chairs that will clash with it." She laughed brightly. "But really the priority is the desk right now. Oh and a bed, but the couch I chose pulls out into a bed so I can just use that for the time being." As she spoke, her hands were very animated, emphasizing her words and the natural rise and fall of her intonation.

Depending on the situation Tifa generally had a lot of patience, which had definitely only increased since the kids had come along. She'd needed a lot with Cloud of course and she generally managed to keep her cool with him. But listening to another person ramble was perfectly within her patience limits.

Tifa watched and listened, keeping up with ease thankfully, "Okay, well with clear ideas I'm sure we'll be able to find at least the desk and hopefully more" she smiled, "You mentioned books and papers, are you studying?" she asked.

Cosima was a laid back kind of person, at least when it came to tolerating other people. She was argumentative and confrontational when she had to be, but otherwise she didn't lose her patience much, if at all. So there were times she did forget other people weren't as enthusiastic as she was nor did they like listening to someone ramble.

"Having an idea of what you want always helps going into shopping. Not that browsing with no fixed idea is bad." She smiled and nodded. "I am, yeah. I'm pursuing my doctorate in Evolutionary Developmental Biology at the University here. It can be really crazy at times, but I love the challenge."

"Browsing is fun but I always feel it's somewhat of a waste of time unless you get some really great ideas whilst wandering" Tifa said, "I've never really been one for shopping a lot in general though" she admitted.

"That sounds really clever. It's good that you're able to enjoy it so much as well. Is it something you've always had an interest in?"

"I tend to be more enthusiastic shopping for clothes or jewelry than I do anything else. But we all have our own preferences!" Furniture shopping wasn't the worst thing, so Cosima didn't mind doing it. Especially when she had her own place to decorate.

"It is, I've always had a mind for biology. Once I began delving into it, I didn't want to stop. And I still don't, which is kind of the point right? You find something you love and make it into a career?" Of course for Cosima, it was now far more of a personal thing to her as well, trying to learn more about her biology and the biology of her clone sisters, trying to unlock what possible mysteries rested in their genetics and how they possibly differed from "normal" humans. "What about you? Do you have something like that?"

Tifa shopped for necessity, she had never been one for shopping for the sake of it but then the shops back home were very different than here.

"I guess so, and it's good that you can still do that here" Tifa said, Cosima's world and this one, she assumed must be quite similar.

"I run a bar back home called Seventh Heaven and help Cloud run his delivery business from it" Tifa said, affection unknowingly obvious in her tone, "And he's helping me do the same here. It's something I've always done and I do enjoy it. I like being busy"

"I'm definitely glad for it, too. I wasn't certain the university here would offer my program, but it does, thankfully. Otherwise I'd just be somewhat at a loss for what to do around here. Other than work, anyway." At least with school, she was able to somewhat socialize with peers outside of the work setting.

"That's definitely awesome," Cosima said with a smile. "Have you opened it here yet? I'm definitely going to come check it out when it is. And don't get me wrong, totally not an alcoholic, I just like a glass or two of red wine to relax sometimes." No, alcohol was definitely not Cosima's vice. Her vice was pot on occasion. Well, more than on occasion, but that was something else entirely.

After getting her new coffee, she smiled at Tifa. "Are you ready to head out? The first place is a couple blocks over from here."

"I'm glad you're able to do something you obviously have a keen interest in" Tifa smiled, it would be a shame if such enthusiasm and knowledge was lost because of the circumstances they all found themselves in here.

"Very soon I'm hoping" she smiled, "Cloud and I are going to take a little vacation first but I'll be sure to let you know" she promised. It wasn't like Tifa was going to judge anybody for drinking, most people enjoyed the odd drink every now and then and to be fair it would keep her in business.

"Yep, lets go" she nodded.

"Thanks, totally glad for that as well." Even if Cosima knew that when she returned home, or was that if?, any progress she made on her PhD here she'd have to do over again anyway. Not to mention she'd be back under the microscope, both literally and metaphorically. She did rather enjoy her freedom from Dr. Leekie and all the clone stuff here.

"Awesome, and definitely, I'd love to come spend some time there!" She grins a bit. "Hey that's awesome! Where are you guys going?" She was curious, and perhaps even slightly jealous given she didn't have the time for vacation, not while classes were in session. But perhaps during the summer break she could take a trip to the beach here.

Grinning, Cosima led the way out of the coffee shop and started heading for the first furniture shop she wanted to look in. "How are you settling in? I know it can be strange to get used to, but you must be glad you have Cloud here to help you adjust."

"We're going to hike into the mountains and camp up there" Tifa told her with a bright smile, "It looks amazing and so different to the ones back home" she explained, "We never had much time to do that at home with the kids and businesses so it's nice to get a chance to here" Time for just her and Cloud was rarely heard of back in Edge so Tifa was determined to enjoy it.

"It was very strange at first, so many things are different here" she admitted, "But I'm very glad I'm not alone. If Cloud wasn't here I don't know what I'd do"

"Oh, that sounds really awesome! I'm certain you two will have a lot of fun doing that." It was definitely something that sounded like a lot of fun. "You should both enjoy the free time you have here. This place certainly has a lot to offer." It was rather intriguing to Cosima how much this world had to offer in ways of things to do and pursue.

Cosima nodded a bit. "It definitely is something to get used to. The city in and of itself isn't that different from where I'm from, but the odd occurrences that happen here were what got me. Oh and the fact there are dragons here. And aliens." Out of those three, Cosima had yet to determine exactly which one gave her the most trouble upon arrival here.

Well okay the fact she was a fictional character had gotten her the most when Claudia had broken the news to her when she'd first fallen ill. Yet it also left her with a very morbid sense of curiosity about watching more of that television show to see her future. And, with any luck, learn more about her illness and if it was something that would actually kill her, or if it could be treatable more than she was already treating it.

"Thank you, I think it'll be really good for us. It's a big change having free time but I want to enjoy it for as long as we can" Tifa said, and there were such beautiful areas around here to explore. She and Cloud wouldn't run short of places to visit and see she was sure.

"It is definitely an...interesting world to have ended up in" Tifa agreed, "So many things I'd never even heard of before and I still don't understand even half of it" she smiled. Not that she minded, Tifa didn't question too much. At the end of the day as long as she and Cloud were okay she could handle things.

"You should always use your free time as much as possible. There's definitely plenty around here to see!" Cosima admittedly hadn't explored much of the place. She only knew the castle and portions of New Creandi itself, but she was more than aware that there were places all around that were good for adventures and so forth.

"Ah yeah, it can be difficult to get used to some things here when you didn't have them where you come from. This place isn't that different from where I'm from. Except for the fact dragons didn't exist and there weren't aliens or anything of that sort." Well as far as she knew anyway. There wasn't anything definitive, only conspiracy theories and all of that.

"Now I have free time I'll be sure to do so" Tifa replied, looking forward to doing a lot of exploring with Cloud.

She was glad to be out of the castle and living above the bar and Cloud's business, it felt much more like home and she'd had this unsettled feeling in the large castle.

"We didn't have aliens but there were creatures back home that we had to fight on occasion" she said, "Although things have settled down for a while"

Having time to explore new places was always a bonus. Cosima could use some more free time to explore more of the area here, but she wasn't complaining much. She at least knew her way around the city a bit now, and she had a job she enjoyed as well as being able to continue pursuing her doctorate.

"Creatures? What kinds of creatures?" Cosima was highly curious about that. It was the biologist in her, really. She enjoyed learning about various organisms and how they evolved. Cosima just had a very specific interest in her own biology for very specific reasons.

They arrived at the store and Cosima opened the door, holding it for Tifa to head inside ahead of her.

Tifa told Cosima about the Bahamut and other creatures she and Cloud had fought back home. Explaining about their biology as much as she could when Cosima asked questions. "I'm afraid I know more about how to kill them than anything else" she smiled at her new friend as they wandered around the store. "Survival and all that"
