[okay maybe aerith herself is a little anxious because cloud is very much not fine but that's okay. he's fine Now. she gets the implication and she knows cloud would never vocalize it because he'd rather die than say nice things, but she does steps to the side to give him more space to enter the room.]

My turn to keep watch then. [shoo. she can braid her hair really quick while she waits, at least.]

... Sure.

[ he does NOT put his foot in his mouth and say it's not the same, but it is a near thing. despite the fact that i think his outfit is stupid it does not take him that long to put it on, and it is even less long before he steps back out. all soldier-y again :) yay

he is holding the flower crown for her to take. why did he never remove it. exactly for this purpose ]

... Here. Not a whole lot of them around here otherwise.

[oh good, he's learning. very proud of him. by the time he comes back she has, in fact, braided her hair and her ribbon is tied in it again. she's leaning against the wall, rocking back and forth on her heels a little, but when he holds out the crown she immediately looks a little happier. she will take it and gently hook it over her arm with the other. safety crowns.]

I know people didn't like them much, but they're still nice to have when everything else looks this dark. Maybe some of these can be saved and replanted somewhere. [sometimes you like nature and light and colors and this place is depressing as fuck.] Thank you.

... It's sort of like the slums. Maybe you'll be able to help them grow here, too.

[ he never got rid of it because he knows she care for flowers, even if he doesn't have the same sentiment about it. he doesn't think plants will help this place get less terrible! but if she wants to try maybe she could manage it, because she's aerith. ]

Probably people just didn't like being forced into them.

Yeah, maybe. [that part she's not entirely sure of given where they are, but...she is still cetra. even without the connection to the planet here, maybe that means something. maybe her monstersona that they find out about the next day will have flower gleam and glow powers. who knows.

but it's also just the idea of having something to occupy her for a little while. hopefully they won't be here for long, but just in case...they won't make the place less terrible, but they can't make it worse either.]

Can't say I don't understand that. I'm still not sure why we were changed into those robes anyway.

[ TELL ME WHAT YOUR POWER DOES YOU WHORE ]

... Yeah. Especially if they were just going to give our stuff back the next day.

[ what's the point? it is actually bothering him that they do not know (sacrifices) ]

[nyeh!]

Feels like they went through more effort to do that than they did to just leave us alone. Unless it was to steal things...

[their. materia.]

... If it was, we'll get it back.

[ their MATERIA!!! ]

[we will get back all of it but the black materia actually!!]

Yeah. [she'll have to believe that for now.] ...as long as Yuffie doesn't get to it first.

[they have to joke about this.]

[ nooo his black materia :( it's his :( aeriiith ]

She'll probably sniff it out like a bloodhound before we can grab it.

[ what is she, red ]

[no!!]

She's probably already on the hunt as we speak. [both of you shut up.]

At least we'll hear about it if any show up.

[ because she will be yelling it so loud ... ]

[that's their yuffie...]

Maybe we should let her. It might be better for her to have something to keep her busy, even if it's unlikely we'll find anything here.

She'd look for them even if we tried to stop her anyway.

[ he is not barret he is not playing babysitter!!!*
*he is going to play babysitter ]

That's true enough. [no cloud is going to be the babysitter that's why i took it off of aerith's profile.] Not much else we can do right now anyway, as much as I hate to say it.

... Until we know why we're here, it's a waiting game. I've looked around everywhere, and I haven't found anything to point us in any direction yet.

Yeah. I want to take another look again just in case, but nothing turned up for me either. [...] We don't have much time to wait, right?

... No, we don't. It won't be long now before...

[ looking a little distant and out of it before he shakes his head ]

Tifa and the others will keep going, but they can't take Sephiroth on their own.

[hey. don't drift off, thank you. she just kind of scoots closer to him.]

No. It needs to be all of you. [...] But if they know we're gone, what are they going to do?

[ he frowns a little at her saying all of you, but doesn't correct her, because technically her job is to pray! surely that is what she meant ]

... I don't know. Depends on how we left. They might try to look for us. Or they might try to at least... stall somehow.

[boy she sure is hoping that's how cloud is taking this right now.]

How we left is still a mystery, too. [like. they were just grabbed out of nowhere? were they attacked? what the fuck happened here.] If they're looking for us, it gives him more time. But without us...[there's no winning here and she's a little worried about it! actually!]

[ he is also worried and it shows in the way he's frowning and tense, but... ]

... We'll figure it out. He hasn't used it yet, as far as we know. Maybe he's waiting for something.

[ FOR CLOUD TO HAND IT TO HIM, SURE ]

[cloud should maybe not do that, actually!]

Maybe. [this is about waiting for something. we are side-stepping that.] But you're right. We'll figure something out.

[she just does not have to tell cloud what, exactly, her goals are.]

... Nothing else to do but keep going. Faster we get out of here, faster we can get back to what's important.

[ fighting sephiroth!!!! ]

...yeah. [faster we get out of here, faster they can get back to what's important and where they belong.] And speaking of getting out of here, ready to keep going?

[they have changed clothes. they can stop hanging out in this house.]
