Well, at least some good had come out of Repa's departure to Edge and Midgar. At least, more good than she thought would come to her. Repa had some...troubles in her past town...Traverse town, and even that wasn't home to her. Her home world called Delatorr was infested with heartless and was just awful. From her departure from her real home world to traverse town she became much more than aquanited with a familiar Remnant to these areas. And from that, coming to edge, she had met Cloud Strife. A very nice guy who helped her find her way around and was going to give her bike lessons so she wouldn't be such a fraidy cat all the time. The best thing was...Cloud offered her a place to stay. That was much more than she herself deserved. He was so hospitable towards her, and it made her happy on the inside...like she had a real friend. So she took the offer without hesitations.
Repa stood outside the place called 7th Heaven. She had a bag over her shoulder and she shifted her weight to her right foot before placing a hand on her hip. Wondering if this was the right thing to do she walked into the building. She looked around but didn't see Cloud at all, but that was okay she guessed. Maybe he would come around later. Of course Cloud had told Repa so much about his Fiancee Tifa, and Repa, from the sound of it, thought they would get along pretty well, she hoped. Repa only hoped that this Tifa girl, whoever she may be, didn't judge her like the rest of the world did...as an outsider....an outcast....and someone who clearly didn't belong. Repa let her eyes wander aimlessly as she let her thoughts gather in the silence of the room.

It was a long day and Tifa had to work extra hard today as more costumers came to the bar. She prayed for the day to end and counted the minutes till it was time for the day to end. Finally the day was over and she couldn't be happier as she closed the bar and hurried up the stairs to take a quick shower before waiting for Cloud to come back from his deliveries. She knew he might be late since his job required more time than hers did but at least now he did call her to let her know when he might be late so she wouldn't worry so much as usual.
Once done she left the bathroom to walk to her room but heard some noise from down stairs. 'Is he back already...?' Tifa thought as she she quickly made her way down stairs but instead of Cloud she found a girl standing near the doorway. Another costumer maybe but she closed the bar. Still she walked closer to the girl with a smile. "Hi... the bar should be closed now but I guess one more order wouldn't hurt want anything to eat or drink?" She asked unaware that this was the girl Cloud told her about, the new friend who will be staying with them in Seventh Haven.

"Hi... the bar should be closed now but I guess one more order wouldn't hurt want anything to eat or drink?"
Repa's thoughts were interupted by the sound of the voice talking to her. She shifted her eyes and looked at Tifa. Well, she was at Seventh Heaven, so this must be the girl Cloud talked so much about. Repa smiled some. "Oh, im no customer....you must be Tifa Lockhart...Cloud has done nothing but talk great things about you." Repa said walking over to the bar and taking a seat as she dropped her bag next to her on the floor. "Im Repa, I don't know if he said anything to you, but...he offered me a place to stay...here at seventh heaven." She said hoping Cloud told Tifa, otherwise....it just might get akward sitting there.

"Repa of course yes Cloud told me about you" Tifa replied with a smile as she stretched her hand to greet her. "Its good to finally meet you and welcome to Seventh Haven...... I already prepared a room for you but didn't know when you would be coming." She paused and walked behind the counter. She decided one more order wouldn't hurt especially if its for a friend. "You can order anything you want here is the menu....."

Wow. She was as great as Cloud had said. So hospitable, it was good. Repa returned a smile as she hesitantly took Tifa's hand and shook it lightly before retracting her arm quickly to her side. Repa kept her smile but wondered exactly how much Cloud had told Tifa about herself. "I'm glad to finally have a place to stay...at least a real place..." She said looking around the place before fixing her eyes on the menu and scanning the various items. "I hope im not putting anyone out by staying here...I just...haven't been accepted in most places..." Repa said not moving her eyes from the menu. She felt her hands start to shake as her nerves started to work up once again...she figured she better blurt out the reason for her...not being accepted, but she waited.

"No of course not I am happy to have you here...... don't worry about trouble your Cloud's friend and like I already told him you will always be welcomed here....." Tifa paused sitting down in her own chair as she smiled at Repa and brushed her strands of hair back further away from her eyes.
Tifa wondered why Repa wasn't welcomed in other placed. She wanted to ask but it wasn't really her place to. A few minutes passed in silence before Tifa decided to try an ask the question that now consumed her thoughts. "If you don't mind me asking..... why weren't you welcomed in other places?"

"No of course not I am happy to have you here...... don't worry about trouble your Cloud's friend and like I already told him you will always be welcomed here....."
Repa wanted to sigh, a sigh of relief, but kept it in. She didn't wanna be someone who always had to ask if she was doing something wrong or how people were feeling, it just got annoying to her really if she herself started coming off as whiney and irritating. So, she simply smiled and nodded before the question she knew would come up. It always came up, every single person she met brought it up, but, it was so good that she had her story down and it didn't bother her to tell it anymore.
"If you don't mind me asking..... why weren't you welcomed in other places?"
With a random snicker Repa looked at Tifa as she folded her arms across the bar and kinda slumped in her seat. "Well...Um. I'm not exactly the...what's the word....safest person to be around." She started off. "I have a gift...or a curse...it depends on how you look at it...but anyways, first off, my home world isn't the kind that keeps things to themselves, at least the citizens. I am the princess of that world and if anything happens to me they blab." She sighed closing her eyes, well maybe it did bother her some with her story. She didn't wanna make a novel out of this so she picked up the pace and dropped the finer details. "When I was born I inherited a gift, that if i touch any living thing with the palm of my hand it dies." She shrugged pulling off one of her gloves and pointing to a dark black X on her hand. "It's how my mom died....it's how people have died...not on purpose though." She always added that last piece but rarely people ever listened that far before walking off.
"Anyways, word got spread, yadda yadda yadda, people don't really like me." Repa said re-gloving her exposed hand.

Tifa paused to listen to Repa's story, about how she lost her world to the Heartless, and how she was born with the ability to kill with just one touch. Tifa could now understand why most people didn't want to be around her. Most were probably afraid but it wasn't really Repa's fault she was just born with this.
"I... I am really sorry to hear that, but you shouldn't worry about this here. your still welcomed to stay as long as you want. I am sure Cloud already told you that if her knew about it." Tifa replied with a bright smile as always. "So found anything you would like to eat?" She asked referring back to the menu.

Again with the incredible hospitality, it made Repa feel a whole lot better. This world was starting to please her much more than her own world did. Sure she was living a life of luxury in her home world, but here, she had friends, real friends, and that made a big difference to her. Repa let her eyes sweep the menu one last time before looking up at Tifa. "Um, Im not quite sure, everything looks pretty good. I'll let you decide, you know all this better than I do." Repa smiled as she set the menu down and sighed, not a stressful sigh, but a good one. "this place....is absolutely amazing."
