[She wishes that he would talk about it with her, but she half expected that he wouldn't... Tifa is hardly ever one to push the subject, so she doesn't, and she only nods in understanding as her head rests against his back. And unless he has anything else to say, she'll remain silent the rest of the way back to the temple. Once she's sure that their conversation is done, the wolf picks up speed until she's breaking off into a sprint to get them back before the next new moon phase comes.
They manage with only a couple of minutes left to spare as the light is already starting to fade again, and when they arrive back, the pup is waiting just inside for them, barking and whining as she brings them up the stairs and into the safety of the temple. She nudges the pup lovingly but moves along, carrying them back to the same room they'd been in before, letting them down on the cushions before leaving to fetch anything they might need for him to heal. This time, however, she urges her pup to leave the two of them alone and carries him off by the scruff of his neck when he puts up a fight.
It's on the cushions where Tifa carefully lays Eustace down, fluffing the pillows up before letting him rest on them. She doesn't lie down, but she sits next to him while she waits to see if the wolf will return with anything for him, as well as waiting for him to talk when he's ready, or sleep, or move his head into her lap if he wishes.
