[Surprise opens Blue's features up a lot from the guardedness he'd had to this point, and something like relief lights up his face. Oh, thank Arceus... That means this girl must be fine, right? And Cloud, that was the cute blondie she hung out with, right? (He totally assumed they were an item but, well, that was just his own nosiness, and he would never--)]
[--Wait a minute.]
Eh? Ah-- Zack.... You said Zack just now, right?? [The surprise, which had started to fade from his previous shock just seconds ago, returns to his face- but this time colored with a kind of bashful nervousness. He didn't know that guy had been an acquaintance of Tifa's, too...]
[...He's sort of hoping Zack hasn't mentioned their meeting to either Tifa, or the girl before him.]
........U-um anyway, [Maybe he can just distract from all of that. Let's talk about Red, instead! Oh, this is awkward-] Sheesh, well he does always wear a red baseball cap... But also, he's got a Pokémon with him that's-- a Pokémon is like a creature, like Arcanine here-- it's a yellow rodent, about this big. [Blue holds his hands out, a little over a foot.] His name is Pikachu.
Also, Red doesn't talk very much, he's pretty quiet, so... If you ran into him, you probably didn't get much conversation outta him. But I guess that's sort of unique in itself, right? [Blue gives a sheepish grin, though it's already fading.] ...You haven't seen anyone like that yet, though, have you?
