Tifa entered the large supply tent humming a small tune and smiling "Elmyra are you here?" she called out "I need some supplies from you madam quartermaster."
"You sound like you're in a good mood today." remarked Elmyra as she appeared from behind a stack of boxes clipboard in hand. Following Meteor and the subsequent formation of the camp for the former residents of Midgar, Aeris's foster mother had volunteered to help and found herself in charge of supplies. "Did someone ask you to go for a coffee with them?" the older woman asked playfully.
"Don't you mean a herbal tea?," Tifa shot back "coffee's rarer than a gold chocobo around here. Anyway the reason I'm in 'a good mood' as you put it is I've been talking to Orin."
"Orin?" Elmyra's gaze meet Tifa's in disbelief "Isn't he that little old overweight technician in charge of the team shutting down the Mako reactors. Don't tell me you're interested in him!"
Tifa blinked and started laughing "It's nothing like that. He wanted to know if it was true that I used to be a guide in Nibelhiem and when I said yes, he asked me to guide the team going to the Nibel reactor. We're leaving early in the morning so I came to get my gear today."
Elmyra set aside her clipboard "Are you sure it's a good idea to do this?" she asked a hint of worry edging her tone.
"Of course it is, its what I originally trained to be and anyway I'm sick and tired of cooking and cleaning. That's all I ever seem to do nowadays." she added sarcastically.
Elmyra straightened and looked at her "I did not mean that you are incapable Tifa, I just thought maybe you wouldn't want to go there."
Leaning back on a crate, she let out a sigh "Sorry Elmyra. It's just that it seems everyone else is out doing something: Cloud, Cid and Cait are checking the Northern Crater for some reason, Yuffie and Nanaki are in Cosmo researching the Large Materia, Barret is busy rebuilding Corel and Holy only knows where Vincent is. Meanwhile I'm here working in the kitchen bored out of my mind," pausing she smiled ruefully "I guess I just need to do something different for a change or I'll go crazier than I already am."
Elmyra picked up her clipboard and turned it to a new sheet "Well if that's the way you feel, tell me what you need and we'll get you all set." Tifa smiled "First of all I'll need a rucksack." as both of them moved further in to the tent to plan.

AN: It's kind of weird but the first time I played FF7 Tifa wasn't really my favourite character. I always liked Vincent and Yuffie better, but whenever I sit down to write, it's always Tifa's pov. that I end up writing from. Apologies if anyone's out of character and please review to let me know what you think.
