Insomnia

[unbridled_strength]

This seems to be a recurring problem, for her. Everything she knows keeps falling away, leaving her standing in the unknown. Small wonder that she can't relax enough to keep her head on a pillow.

She tries to be quiet, as she sneaks outside. It's darker than she's used to, as she makes her way down to the beach. She's still not used to how little light there is, outside of Midgar. But she can see the stars, and perhaps that's a fair trade. She stands in the shore, letting the thin waves wash over her bare feet.

Cloud is a light sleeper. He'd already woken up a little bit ago on account of some other noise and he's still awake when he hears the door to one of the nearby rooms open and close again. With how quiet the person is as they pass by outside his own room, he knows it must be either Tifa or Aerith. Barret wouldn't know how to be that quiet if his life depended on it.

A quick peek out of the window confirms his initial suspicions -- it's Tifa, alright. Cloud has never really been the greatest at offering comfort or anything like that, but he figures he ought to check on her just in case.

He follows her from a distance down to the beach, debates once more about just letting her be, before he sighs and moves to close the distance between them.

"What are you doing?"
