xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxVelvet was in the kitchen washing up a glass used by Cloud before he went out to search for his missing guest when the text message arrived.
"Hmm? Did Tifa forgot something?"
The message that arrived was from Vincent.
Make sure Tifa and the kids are indoors
"....what? Why the sudden-*gasp* could it be connected to what he was doing at the slums earlier?"
At the back of her mind she realizes that Tifa and the children have been out longer than usual...
"I hope they're alright. I should go after Cloud. He couldn't have went far!"
And she left the bar without locking up... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cloud was on a search for a certain person of royal heritage who had been accidentally left behind due to an occurrence of unexpected events. A few minutes later, he finally reunited with the prince in which they then disembarked together on different modes of transportation to one similar destination - the Seventh Heaven.
Once arrived, Cloud opened the door and noticed that no one was in there.
.... No one is coming back.. *looking around*
? *noticed Velvet's absence* She's gone? Doko?

♛ After bidding farewell to his faithful driver, Noctis then turn towards the building. He noticed Cloud had already went inside. As he looked upwards, a worn out wooden sign bearing the name 'Seventh Heaven' caught his attention. It amused him for a second to think that this was the place Cloud fondly spoke off and that of Tifa. Being a prince who was used to a place much more bigger, the sudden change of scenery was like a tint of refreshment to him.
"Omoishiroi..." a faint smile escaped his lips as his eyes wandered about to inspect the exterior of the building.
He then walked up towards the door to find a troubled looking Cloud. Sensing that Cloud wasn't actually expecting the place to be that empty, he assumed something was definitely wrong.
"You okay?" he asked out of courtesy. ♛

A sudden voice spoke out to him "You okay?"and he turns to Noctis.
*shakes the head* "I'm-" *pauses a bit looking for the best sentence for prevent Noctis doubting him* "fine.." *slight smiles* "..... Hey.. have a seat.." *points politely at the bar stool chairs in front of the encounter*

Tifa and the kids burst through the door of Seventh Heaven, panting slightly (the children panting a lot, some of the crying even), but instead of Velvet, who she expected to see waiting for them in the bar, there was Cloud and an unknown man.
"Wha-Cloud!? And who-? Where's Velvet?"
One of the kids suddenly yell her cries more loudly than others, and Tifa was forced to pay her attention to the little girl. ("There there. We're safe now.")Then she focused a rueful look on Cloud.
"We were attacked on our way back....who's your friend Cloud?"

xxxGrey stumbled in after Tifa and the kids; immediately turned around and closed the door to Seventh Heaven. He was still slightly panting (and is still carrying one kid who fell during their escapade) when he saw what's in store for them. No pun intended.
Well okay, maybe intended. Where is Velvet?
He repeated the question out loud to the blonde man he recognized as Cloud (not that they ever met, there's a portrait of him upstairs drawn with crayon by the children. It's surprisingly accurate.)
"Where's Velvet? The girl that works here?"
Now is really not the time for her to run off again!

♛ Noctis was quite aware that Cloud was trying his best to hide his distraught feelings. Politely, he tried not to pursue the subject. If he was in Cloud's shoes... uhh... technically, boots... he would have acted the same. When Cloud suggested for him to take a seat, he nodded and went to clutch the nearest one. But before he was able to rest his buttocks, his attention was distracted by a sudden burst of a rag tag group of children accompanied by a black-haired female and a man awkwardly carrying a child in his arms into the bar.
A commotion seemed to ensue with the female quite startled to see Cloud's presence there and the male asking the whereabouts of another female that seems to go by the name of Velvet.
Veruvet ka? Somehow the name seems to be familiar but as of now, my memory is kind of vague...
His eyes lit up a bit as they seem to notice his presence and that they weren't really expecting to see a stranger accompanying Cloud at that moment. Noctis glanced slightly at Cloud. He preferred the blonde to deal with the boring introduction ritual and stuff. Besides, he could sense that it wasn't his place at the moment to strike up a conversation first hand. ♛

Before Cloud went after the prince to have a seat too, his attention was distracted by a sudden burst of a rag tag group of children accompanied by Tifa and a man awkwardly carrying a child in his arms into the bar. He saw the kids were in a state of fear that makes him feel more concern to them"Tifa.. can you bring the kids to their room? It's more safe there..
-I'll told what I knew a bit after this.."
Then, Cloud sudden remember a present of the prince that definitely makes him one of the subject for everyone in there. Since Tifa and unknown man asked Cloud about the prince.
"But before that, I just wanna make a brief introduction about him.." *points to Noctis* "due to we have no much time for this.. .... -He's Noctis.. ... a Prince.. ...."

♛ "...-He's Noctis... a Prince..."
"...-What he means is that I came from a family of aristocrats," he quickly added, not yet wanting to reveal most of his true status.
For the moment, he was more comfortable having only Cloud to know about his background. But that was not because he distrusted Cloud's band of companions. It was more or less like wanting to avoid being formally addressed if they knew he was of higher status than the rest of them. He trusted Cloud would understand his sudden act of secrecy towards his friends at that moment.
"Hajimemashite," he continued and flashed a faint smile. ♛

xxxAfter absorbing all the information provided by Cloud and the newcomer Noct...
Royalty huh? That's rare...the only thing resembling a royalty around here is in Wutai. Note to self: Investigate later.
...Grey rudely directed the conversation back to a certain missing person.
"You didn't answer my question. Have you seen a girl in here when you walk in?"
He would've said more if Tifa hadn't put a hand on his shoulder...

xxxxDilly dally shilly shally...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tifa nodded her agreement at Cloud's instructions and at the...princes introduction, but before she can do or say anything Grey continues to pummel Cloud and the guest with questions on his partners whereabouts.
Tifa put a hand to stop the rantings of her shopping partner before he can proceed to offend people he just met, Cloud included.
"Grey, take the kids upstairs. I'll ask about Velvet."
Grey hesitated for a moment, but nodded an apology to the other men and proceed to....there's no other way of saying it, 'herd' the flock of children upstairs.
Once the kids are gone, she put her attention to Cloud and Noct.
"Sorry about that. He gets anxious about Velvet whenever she disappears on him. She's prone to get into trouble sometimes."
...in which I hope this is not one of those times. *sweatdrops*.
"Pleasure meeting you Noctis. Cloud rarely brings home a guest. We're...in a bit of a fuss right now, sorry about that. Have a seat. I'll fix you guys something to drink, and you guys can tell me everything."

♛ Noctis watched as the children were ushered upstairs by the male. So, he is known as Grey, eh? Noctis mused . He wondered what a fine suited man was doing in a bar. His suit wasn't that of a waiter. Whatever he might be, Noctis concluded that he must definitely be a close companion to Cloud and his friends.
"Pleasure meeting you Noctis. Cloud rarely brings home a guest. We're...in a bit of a fuss right now, sorry about that. Have a seat. I'll fix you guys something to drink, and you guys can tell me everything."
Noctis shifted his gaze towards the undeniably attractive female. So, this is the Tifa Cloud was speaking of. We have finally met. He then nodded slightly and silently did what he was asked.

When Cloud had been forced asking a question by the suited man, he normally just keep quiet and not to impose any action whatsoever. Moreover, he's the one who not directly answer the question from the person he doesn't know. Cloud is still keep quiet until he was able to rest his buttocks on the stool chair and finding the right time for him to talk as waiting the suited man to be where they were now. After the suited man reached to them, Cloud begin to talk.
"... I dunno where she is.." *silence* "When we arrived, this bar was empty and quiet.. You can ask him if you don't trust me.." *silence* "..-I consumed that you both were got Vincent's message" *silence* "So, just wait for him to know what's going on"
Cloud looked down as seeing straightly at the encounter table. In a while they were waiting for Vincent, Cloud sudden was worried that Noctis was not very comfortable with this situation now. Even that he just still keep quiet and don't ask about Noctis's condition since for him, it's not the point matter that should be come out now.

Tifa tilted her head a bit, gazing shamelessly at the newcomer.
The man certainly looked like the part of a royalty. He's very quiet though.
Grey came back and nodded at her, letting her know that the kids are alright. In fact, they were better off without him around upsetting them even more, since that's what he does to them most of the time. Even Vincent is better with the kids than him. Anyway, the kids are independent enough to take care of themselves and stay out of trouble.
Cloud answered their previous question about Velvet, seemed like the bar is empty when they arrived.
"Looks like I have a missing employee...about those messages Cloud. He just said that we have to get indoors fast."
How did he know we were outside in the first place?
It seemed like there is no way of knowing what predicament is hitting them once again until Vincent got here. In the meantime...
"So. Noct was it? How did you two meet? I know Cloud's not the friendliest guy around."
And you don't seem like a very conversational guy either, she didn't say.
