[She returns the embrace easily, with only a little of the stiffness that used to accompany any show of affection— Tifa is one person that Kainé has become incredibly comfortable with over the past year, and the display means more to her than she can say, however simple it might be.
She's smiling when they both pull back, then gives a startled look downwards as Tifa takes both of her hands before looking back up, searching her friend's face.]
You want me to...? I mean, I'd be happy to, but how?
[Not that Tifa really knows what it means to be a bridesmaid either. She simply wants her to be because she means a lot to Tifa, and those who do, she wants them to be at her side through all of it. That's what it means, right?]
[Some apprehension visibly leaves her; her shoulders drop forward and her smile pulls a bit wider as Tifa admits that she, too, is a little lost about how to do all this.]
I definitely think you're right about that.
[She exhales, dropping a hand to rest against her hip.]
Even if I think I might be a strange choice for this kind of thing, if it wasn't obvious, I'm all in. It means a lot that... I mean— thank you. For asking me. I know it's not something anyone offers lightly, and... you've been a great friend to me. I'd be glad to be a part of this.
[Tifa feels her face flush, and she dips her head with a laugh.]
Couldn't imagine the day without you. You were my first friend here... It feels right.
[She can't even imagine her life in Reverein without her now. It's thanks to her that Tifa even thought to learn how to fight with other things besides her fists, and she's well on her way to that, thanks to her too. As far as she knows, she owes Kaine a lot.]
[Color creeps into her face; it's definitely not the first time Tifa has made her blush, and she's sure it won't be the last. Not many people are capable of it, but Tifa manages to do it pretty damn consistently.]
Yeah? Was I?
[They'd both been here right at the start. It makes sense, especially because...]
You were mine, too. You know there's no way in hell I'm gonna miss out on your big day. I'll drag the old man, too.

[And, given how small weddings tend to be in her own world...
Well, let's just say she's not familiar with the concept of bridesmaids.]
Sorry, don't have a lot of experience with this kind of thing. Not really strong in the decorating area, either.
no subject
To be honest, I don't really know either.
[She just knows that the bridesmaids that the bride picks are meant to be important to her. The people she calls her closest, most cherished friends.]
... But I think it'll be more fun figuring this all out together, yeah?

and this one too!
Don't you worry. I've already got that covered...
[Bouncing on the balls of her feet, her hands fold behind her back, and there's a glint of fond mischief in her eyes.]
But keep that a secret.
wrapped! 🎀
[She'd love to see what Tifa has in store for Nier. Her grin pulls to one side, and she taps her own index finger against her own lips.]
I won't tell a damn soul. My lips are sealed.
