Lilium Derived from Latin lilia, which may have come from a corrupted pronunciation of a word from an extinct Eastern Mediterranean language Humility, devotion, restored innocence after death
"Lovers used to give these when they were reunited."
[ ????? why are we on a beach front. anyway cloud has like, armfuls of fruits to bring over to the counter, though; ]
You sure you don't need me to do anything? [ it's a lot of fruit to cut... but also cloud consider that cutting stuff with someone else next to you is the worst get out of my kitchen (i am not aerith) ]
[there's a laugh and she gestures for cloud to have a seat.]
Not sure what you could do yet, so sit down. [get out of her tiny kitchen, it is just cutting fruit. she can handle that!! she looks around in a drawer to come up with a large knife and rinses off the fruit to begin cutting them and tossing everything into a bowl. on occasion she's sneaking little bites but most of it goes into a dish for them to share.]
These houses are kinda cute though. We could always come back to use them to get cleaned up, too. [their fucking SHOWERS.]
I think I saw a clothing shop on the other side of the island, too, when we came through the door. We can grab some other things from there before coming back.
[listen they are used to traveling but also...she does not want to have to use the haunted house bath or rinse off in the stream. let her have an actual nice shower!!!]
We'll have to go and see, won't we? [cloud gets zero option in this. also she will pick out all of his outfits. if you want him in a thing assume she told him to. it does not take long to cut fruit, so she comes over with a large bowl and i guess forks as an option if they do not wish to eat with fingies.]
It's ready! [yes thank you aerith. she is just sitting right next to him because she does not believe in giving him personal space.]
[ he never expects personal space from her, it's fine. he's sort of smiling as he watches her go because CHEERFUL CLOUD IS REAL AND HE IS SCARY, and he accepts the fruit bowl with a quiet thanks ]
Not bad. [ it's just cutting fruit but she seemed intent about it so ] Been a bit since we've had real food, huh.
[cheerful cloud really is just zack, and maybe that's also part of why she's just like "okay." she's just plucking out an apple slice for herself.]
Yeah. It's...kind of exciting to have something fresh. Not to mention having a functional kitchen that we can use. Been a bit since we've had one of those, too.
Yeah. When she was trying to make soup for the Fairs. [it's said a little softer, like she's thinking about something else while she mentions it.] That feels like such a long time ago now.
[so yeah, maybe she got a little excited about some of the small comforts of living. such as a bathroom. and a kitchen.]
[ oh hm. he did not yet remember zack at the time of this sidequest and he is now having a little moment of awkwardness. did tifa ever speak to aerith about... Well, Now Is Not The Time ]
Yeah. [ ... ] It'll be nice to have access to some of that stuff.
[she doesn't fully know if cloud remembers zack or what that might mean, so she does not pick up on his awkwardness for once.
also it probably helps that the fruit is helping her relax against him a little.]
Yeah. There's only a few houses for a lot of us, but we'll be able to share for the most part. [she says, not knowing some people will straight up move in.] It might be a nice change from having things prepared for us.
Especially a good change from having things prepared for us that aren't good.
[ our refractory food... he is like. not thinking about it when he puts his free arm loosely around her waist he has eaten some fruit and he is feeling relaxed. maybe weed was the answer all along ]
[so the answer is to drug cloud...i see, i see. but the combination of affection and whatever the fuck is going on here means she's nestling into his side and adjusting his arm to hold her a little closer. there.]
[ blinking at the orange slice. high or not it takes him a second before he... tries to reach for it with his hand first stop don't hand feed him fruit that's too much ]
Yeah. [ haha. yeah. ] One thing all levels had in common, I guess. Shit food.
You remember what I told you about Zack, don't you? How he was a SOLDIER, too. [so yes.] But...when we first met, I didn't know. I always thought SOLDIERs only cared about fighting.
[ there's a quiet little "yeah" at her zack question, because he doesn't know if he should tell her. anything related to that. damn it. but the fight thing... ]
... Don't know that you're entirely wrong about that for most of 'em. [ thinking about......roche........ rest in robes ]
Maybe. But there were some exceptions. He was one of them. [a hand slowly drifts up to gently boop his nose. booooop. this is better than thinking about roche actually.] So're you.

Maybe her tastes are just different than yours? [hah.] But I guess I shouldn't be surprised Shinra was doing the bare minimum for its soldiers.
