Turning around at the call - even if he also, when he saw who it was, glanced around to check if she might have meant his older self - Cloud blinked and then gave Tifa a little wave and wandered over.
Then stopped, staring at the giant (and probably deliberately ugly) chocobo plush she was carrying. His nose scrunched up and he pushed the tiny one he'd stuffed in his pocket (much cuter than the one Tifa was carrying) deeper down, and hopefully out of sight.
"Hi." He would not ask. He would not---
"... why are you carrying that around..."
Too late. And then he felt a little embarrassed, because why had he asked it like that? Obviously she'd won it and hadn't had the chance to put it down or go back home with it.
:D
