Trever was sitting at the bar counter in 7th Heaven pensively sipping from a glass of red wine.It was funny how his taste in drink all depended on his mood.He came in wanting a beer but that changed when Tifa got a hold of him and started crying to him about Denz.It got so bad that Cloud had to rip her off him and carry her back upstairs.He sighed as he touched his bruised cheek with his hand.The woman sure had one hell of a left hook that was for sure.He deserved all of this,didnt he...?

Lightning stepped into the bar. She wasn't one to get drunk, the occasional drink was alright, but nothing more. If she was to get into a battle on her way home she wouldn't be able to defend herself, her judgment would be impaired and she would probably be killed.
She walked over to the bar counter and sat down, glancing at the person sitting a few seats away from her. They weren't creepy or anything, she just liked to know what her surroundings were, and who was in the area.
tapping her fingers on the table she looked at the bartender, it wasn't the normal server Tifa. She had grown to enjoy the older woman's company and chat with her when there was time. She quickly got over the fact that it wasn't the normal bartender. She ordered a strawberry daiquiri and knocked her knuckles on the counter top waiting for her order to arrive.
It only took a few minutes for the drink to be made before the young woman placed an order for her dinner, she hadn't eaten all day and this was something she really needed to keep her strength up.

Trever looked to the new arrival,surprised that it wasnt some random regular.Infact he had never seen her before.He looked her over being as subtle as possible.She didnt look like the type he could get into bed easilly.The pretty ones were never easy.He sighed and put that aside to welcome her and see what she was about.He stood up and took a seat right next to her."Iv never seen your pretty face around here before"He smirked"Trever Valens is the name" He held his hand out to her.

Lightning put the back of one of her gloved hands over her mouth to keep her from coughing up the liquid in her mouth. Why were all men, no matter the age, always the same? They all had the same cocky smirk that made them think they would get into any female's pants, it was disgusting.
Recovering quickly she looked at the hand in front of her before she looked at the male, her intense blue eyes looking sharply at him. She gave him a quick nod and looked back at her drink, he'd-hopefully- leave her be if she said nothing and let him get bored.

Lightning sighed. Clearly the man...fine she wouldn't be mean- was going to nag her ear off if she didn't give out any information. "Lightning," she said flatly.
It was straight and to the point, she didn't want to waste more time talking then she needed. She was here to relax and that was what she was going to do, if that meant she had to put up with this man for a few minutes to get it, she'd be as fast as possible with the conversation.

He realised that she was totally uninterested in having anything to do with him, but he kept it going regardless. "Got a real name,Lightning?" Meh, he figured hed better not push it."So what are you doing here? Visiting,passing through,living here now?" He took a sip of wine from his glass and continued to look at her with interest.

He asked so many questions. It was bound to get him into trouble. Observing someone was subtler and gave the same answers. She was in her normal get up, which would say nothing, and yes she was armed as normal. She did not need to have some stranger knowing her life story, that she wasn't really from here, and what not. "That is my real name," she said rolling her eyes,.
If a guy could be named Cloud why couldn't her name be Lightning? "I'm visiting. I'm looking for a permanent place of residence," That was all that was needed to be given out.
She had a place, but it was small and cramped and being a member of AVALANCHE didn't mean she had to stay where most of the other members were. That's why she was looking else where for a home. She had visited Costal De Sol a week back and liked it. She was thinking about moving there since it was as close as she was getting to her world.

"Hmm...well I guess its better than naming your kid Cloud." He laughed to himself."Its very fitting for an individual like you.Its strong and impacting..."He couldnt help but smirk again."Well..if you ever need a place to stay,my doors always open to friends." And he wasnt just saying that to get her to come home with him.He was just a nice guy like that.He noticed her weapon now."Youre a fighter huh?"

"Former soldier," She stated taking a sip of her drink.
She ignored his statement on friends being welcome in his home. They were not friends, and she wasn't going to have someone offer her a place, she wanted to find her own. "I was thinking about Costal De Sol, Reminds me of home," she said with a shrug.
Another sip of the daiquiri, another reminder that this was not the best drink she ever had.

"Former huh? What happend?" He tried not to push her too much but she was getting more and more interesting with each word she spoke. "Costa del Sol is nice. I own a vacation home right on the beach actually. Its gorgeous. Maybe Ill see you around there sometime."He laughed. Just what shed want. "Where is it that you came from?"

"My sister was taken from me by the army and I quit to rescue her," she replied, not caring that it wasn't completely correct.
Sure she quit because she was going to rescue her sister, but it wasn't an army...at least they weren't called that. She twisted the glass, staring at the remaining contents and smiled. "It is," She said her voice getting far off. "A place in the sky," she said smiling slightly.
She shook her head and let out a laugh. "You wouldn't know. Don't worry yourself with it,"

"I see...did it work out atleast? Did you save her?"He looked at her with concern."Was it Shinra?Theyre not exactly anyones best friend are they?"He guessed."Well...Id like to know if you dont mind?C'mon. I wanna know it all" He sent, not a smirk, but an actual smile her way.

"Yes it did. after a very long and tedious journey," she said tiredly.
It was the most ridiculous thing she had ever done in her entire life. Of course it was her sister and she didn't want to be a puppet on strings anymore. She wanted to have her own life and do things her way without the influence of a higher power. She knew that hard times would come from the outcome, but it would put people into gear and get them going. People had started getting lazy and they needed to get out more anyway. "Shinra doesn't exist where I'm from," she said flatly.
She'd say nothing more, it wasn't any of his business.
