[ Tifa's no expert in knot-tying or anything like that, but she does figure that they need to wrap the rope around the goat's middle rather than its neck or they're going to end up choking it. The makeshift harness they end up with is hardly perfect, but hopefully it'll serve its purpose in making sure they can return the goat to where it came from.

At Cloud's tired comment, she glances to him from where she'd crouched next to the goat and lets out a breathy laugh. ]

They're definitely characters. Remind me to tell you about the time when they were walking around on two legs.

[ Or not. It's also something she wishes she could forget.

She stands up and dusts herself off, all while keeping a tight hold on the other end of the rope. Thankfully, the goat seems to have calmed down. ]

Well, we should still take him back. His owner's probably waiting around there hoping that he comes back, even if the race has ended. [ Or so she hopes, anyway.

But there's something else she noticed, something that causes her brow to knit with concern as she gives Cloud another long look. ] Before that, though... are you all right? [ That hit he took to the chest looked rough... and is it just her, or does he sound a little winded? ]
