[Even if Tifa did not know Neve that well, like recognizes like. Tifa is someone who holds her own emotions close, reins them in and keeps herself leveled and steady so as not to burden others with her feelings. Her anger.]

You did what you all could. I know that much.

[She would never think that they didn't, but it still hurts nonetheless to hear that they couldn't save them all. Especially hearing that no one besides those who did try to help didn't care to step in and give their aid.]

You guys sound like us... Avalanche, I mean. Not the crew here, but back home. We were... a kind of resistance group, too. Fought as hard as we could to save a lot of people, but... there's only so much you can do in the end.

[That is something that Tifa is very clearly still trying to come to terms with, as she brings the coffee to her lips to hide her frown and sips.]

We did. But it's never enough, is it?

[ to the rest of thedas, tevinter is the land of slaves and blood magic. not many would think it a nation that deserves to be saved. and like rana had said when she and rook crossed paths after the attack: if rook had been in minrathous instead, maybe it would have made a difference, or maybe they'd be dead, too. there's no way to tell.

tifa's soft tale gives neve a moment to breathe, to bring herself out of the memories and the pain of explaining everything. something else to focus on. someone else's tale. ]

What were you fighting against?

[ she hasn't talked specifically about the shadows and the parts of tevinter culture they were fighting against, but maybe that's something they can slowly get into together. tifa's first, though. ]

Not quite the same, but... it's always the people who think that they've above the rest of us.

[A crooked smile at Neve before it vanishes behind her cup.]

They're called Shinra Electric Power Company, but the name doesn't really say much. They're a corporation who takes up all the life blood of the Planet, killing it.

[And while she doesn't agree with Avalanche's more extreme methods, she joined their fight for a different reason. Something a little more selfish than fighting for the Planet, but she won't get into that. Not here.

As she goes on, she makes a very concerted effort to keep her tone even and calm.]

They're selfish and don't care about the people. They'd let all of us rot if it meant that they had more power, more money.
