Word Count: 95
Rating: G (or K+)
Summary: Aerith's friend, Tifa
Her carmine eyes were often sad and frightened, though she stood tall and smiled bright, leapt bravely into any fray. Her boots were mud caked, blood smeared, her white top and leather skirt stained with grassy green streaks, yet she cared not an inkling and strove only to keep those she deemed worthy safe.
When she took a blow meant for another, for her, defeated yet one more nightmare with powerful legs and forcible fists, Aerith could do nothing but kiss Tifa's fingers, knuckles, palms, to thank her for her infinite courage and constant friendship.
