I'm meaning more along the lines of... hugging and kissing someone...
[If she gets her drift, though Tifa's attempts at being subtle are likely not helping her understand this any more. She wouldn't blame Lyria if this only made it more confusing.]
[ Lyria was still new to her world and her surroundings, despite traveling with the Skyfarers for some time. She was always excited to discover more and learn new things, however... maybe this was something she could have left in the dark.
The confusion only continues to burn across her furrowed brows, but a small bit of realization does dawn on her face, as little as her understanding was. ]
Mmm... I think I understand. Hugging and kissing is something a lot of people don't do in public, right? Is that why you're embarrassed?
[Bless this girl's soul... It even gets a smile out of her, albeit a crooked one.]
Er... sort of.
[Granted, Tifa is a bit shy on the PDA front as it is, even if Eustace likes to tease her with it, but that's neither here nor there.]
It's a little bit more... physical than that? [She takes in another breath.] When you find someone that you like, you'll know. You, um... join... together...
[She can see Lyria scrunching her brow in confusion, and can practically feel it steeping into the air, and she has to pause to double check.]
You really want to know about this, do you? [An awkward laugh, and Tifa's head droops a little in Lyria's direction, almost bumping them together.] I'm... sorry. I'm not very good at explaining things.

[??? THIS SOUNDS SO STUPID]

[ She... tilts her head slightly, obviously not quite pairing the two meanings together.
BUT SHE'S TRYING TO THINK REALLY HARD so much so that she scrunches her brows together while her lips slightly purse out. ]
Physically... joined together... [ The girl repeats before making a muffled sound of irritation. ]
Like... glue?
