It should be! It hasn't been that long. Besides, it's a special magic fruit, or something like it.

[so therefore it won't be rotten. that's how logic works.]

[residentmerc]

... It is?

[ THIS IS THE FIRST HE'S HEARD OF IT ]

[residentflorist]

Mmhm. Aqua told me that it's part of a legend in her world. If two people share the fruit, their destinies become intertwined. They'll be a part of each other's lives forever.

[residentmerc]

[ ah. there's a pause there where he kind of stares at her with his eyebrow furrowed... a little embarrassed and shy at the sentiment. on the other hand... ]

We don't need a fruit for that.

[ he'll share it with her anyway but ]

[residentflorist]

[...cute sentiment.]

We don't, but it was a gift. It'd be nice to appreciate it anyway, don't you think? [aqua is a friend and it was very sweet of her. also she likes the sentiment of the paopu itself.]

[residentmerc]

I didn't say I wouldn't eat it.

[ but it's just a fruit. also aqua is a good friend. she is also SO MEDDLESOME. ]

[residentflorist]

[she loves aqua so much...]

Then that's our plan for the night. We'll go back to our place, changing into something for the beach, take a picnic and that fruit and go get a little sun before the night's over.

[residentmerc]

You sure you don't want to spend time with anyone else too?

[ the emotions say he's not against that plan at all he's just. being considerate. incredible ]

[residentflorist]

I can do that later. [so yes she does, because it's their last night, but she has an extreme bias toward cloud.] I'm sure there's people you want to see before the night's over, too, don't you?

[residentmerc]

Less than you do. [ this isn't like, a jab. it's just. a fact. aerith is very social and cloud sure the fuck isn't. ] But I can do that later.

[ to parrot ]

[residentflorist]

Then I don't have to worry about taking up as much of your time as I want. [cheerfully. but she's taking his hand to lead him back to the apartment.] We'll pack a little and go then.

[residentmerc]

You never have to worry about that.

[ they are dating, aerith!! he lets himself be lead though and blinks at the thought of packing. right. they are actually bringing stuff back. ]

[residentflorist]

I should at least pretend to be a little considerate of other people's time with you. [pointing that out...] Even back home I won't be the only one.

...Scien said we might be able to come back to this place with the world travel machine, too. Guess that wouldn't be so bad for grabbing supplies? [when they're inevitably broke.]
