I know. Aqua's told me a few things about you. And Kanda seemed to imply you're one of the least annoying people he's met.

[residentmerc]

[ WORRY about aqua but. he huffs. ]

Yeah? He complained about you early on.

[residentflorist]

[aqua's fine. the paopu is probably in their apartment and aerith hasn't actually brought up what it's for yet.]

Oh I'm sure he's still complaining about me now. [amused.] But if he really was that bothered I know he'd leave. So...his choice.

[kanda chooses to suffer her company.]

[residentmerc]

[ they will never use the paopu ]

Like you're not stubborn enough to follow him?

[residentflorist]

[they're gonna use it shut up.]

I have been! [she's grinning at that.] It's sort of like befriending a cat, I think. His tolerance has built up.

[residentmerc]

... That so?

[ why does he sound dubious ]

[residentflorist]

He tells me to go away less. [is that an improvement.]

[residentmerc]

Is that an improvement?

[residentflorist]

I think so. [she sort of kicks her legs slowly as the horses go round and round...] In a lot of ways, talking to him reminds me of talking to you.

[residentmerc]

You're not the first to say that. [ even though he sounds disgruntled about it. he's not that bad!!!! he's not kanda bad!!! this feels like barret's vincent slander to him ]

[residentflorist]

Yeah, but I'm the first to actually know where the two of you differ. [she says in that obnoxious "I'm your girlfriend and I know you better than those people" way.]

It's more like how you were when we first met. But you've changed since then.

[residentmerc]

[ he's behind her on the horsey but he still gives a little nod because yes. she sure is gf. ]

I wasn't that bad.

[ he will argue this forever ]

[residentflorist]

Are you sure it's fair for you to be the judge of that, Cloud? [she knows he will argue it forever???]

[residentmerc]

Yes.

[ he does not say i know myself because we both know he does not ]

[residentflorist]

If I asked Yuffie, she'd agree with me. [so THERE.] Besides, isn't it better for someone else to make that call, too?

[residentmerc]

I'm not taking Yuffie's opinion on it. [ >:T

DOESN'T ANSWER THE OTHER PART IT'S A TRAP ]

[residentflorist]

Tifa's then? [now she's just being a bully.]

[residentmerc]

... That's different.

[residentflorist]

Oh yeah? And just how is it so different?

[residentmerc]

... It's Tifa.

[residentflorist]

So Tifa has rights but the rest of us don't. I see how it is.

[residentmerc]

That's not what I said!

[ it is a little what he said ]

[residentflorist]

It's kinda what you said, actually. [taps his nose with a little boop.] It's okay, Cloud. I know she's in a league of her own.

[residentmerc]

[ leans his head back at the nose boop ]

That's not... It's just different.

[ he would honestly probably object if tifa did it too but hes thinking of the whole. [tifa voice] i know you so its ok ]

[residentflorist]

Okay. If you're sure. [the ride ends at this point, and she's looking at him with a little amusement and also curiosity. go on. explain how it's different.

but eventually she smiles a little.]

Why don't you pick what's next?
