[Steve sees Tifa's face fall, and shit hell damn what a stupid thing to say! ...And then of course she asks about him. Steve's trying to figure out what to do, what to say, when a wave of dizziness and nausea hits him. He fumbles the tablet slightly and has to rest his head on his hand for a little bit, breathing carefully. When the feeling passes, he doesn't bother lifting his head.]
Don't want you to worry 'bout me on top of everything, Tifa. ...But if I'm completely honest, I'm not having a swell day today.

Do you know Clayton? He's a doctor. Maybe he can help.
