[she opens an eye to stare up at him because yes? the mood? though she supposes it's nice that he was fine just talking about feelings for once.]

I'm trying. [she says that much, and it's maybe the only admission that she has a harder time, sometimes, voicing her fears to him. but she wants to, and hearing that thought gets a smile from her.] It helps that you're good at listening.

[not always great at actually talking or offering solutions, but there have been a lot of times in recent history cloud has just listened to aerith talk about less than fun things and has quietly supported her. it's more than she's had before and it's something that keeps her happy.]

[residentmerc]

[ he is trying his best, okay. ]

You're not hard to listen to. [ there's people or times where he admittedly gets overwhelmed with too much talking (chadley), but listening to aerith has never felt like that, even when she was being a bit of a whirlwind. and this is also his way of being a little apologetic that he knows he's not... great... at the talking part. ]

[she appreciates his efforts. sincerely.]

Sweet of you to say. [she says it in a tone that says she's not sure she buys it but she'll let it slide. and speaking of slide, one hand slides up to cup his cheek again so she can kiss him slowly and briefly.]

...let's stay here a while. [longer picnic.]

[residentmerc]

[ oh that's fine. kissing is nice and fine and he sort of blinks that it's brief, like a loser. ]

Sure. Long as you want. [ they have not taken a single bite of food and they still won't because he is kissing her again thank you ]

[residentflorist]

[given the way her hand slides to the back of his neck again and her mouth's on his the answer is "a long time." they really are not going to eat ye because kissing is happening. this will happen a lot because it is a novelty. both of you are terrible.]

[residentmerc]

[ and then they made out all day yay. ]
