Yeah, I know. [and she does. there were plenty of times she went off with tifa or red on her own and left cloud to his own devices.] If you were really trying to dodge you'd be very bad at it. But sometimes it felt like...you were surprised, I guess.

[residentmerc]

It's not... [ surprise, except maybe sometimes it is. Hmmmm. ] ... I guess... sometimes I'm not sure what you really want.

[ from him, in general. how much of it is teasing. that sort of stuff. ]

[residentflorist]

[that is by design and she knows that, but now that they've been removed from their dire circumstances, she's thinking a little more about actually going for what she wants right now.]

You've also never asked, really.

[residentmerc]

[ well, he has, but it was in a scenario he isn't entirely sure was with the aerith in front of him, or one she remembers, and that gets confusing, so; ]

Would you have answered if I did?

[residentflorist]

Maybe. [she will be honest in this moment because she knows herself, and she knows that means she isn't always upfront about things, or wants to tell people the full truth.] Probably. But...we've all been busy.

[residentmerc]

... We're not busy right now. [ right now, because they are a little busy in this hellhole sometimes. ] So... what do you want?

[residentflorist]

[hm...it has been a long day, and things are still balanced pretty precariously in a way she's not sure how to juggle right this second, so she keeps her head on his shoulder and thinks this over a little.]

A lot of selfish little things, I think.

[residentmerc]

[ hmmm. okay. so that's a no. but... it has been kind of a long day. ]

... Like... wanting to go on a picnic with me? [ tentative. ]

[residentflorist]

That's one of them, yes. [she would tell him but this is a backdated thread so. we're doing what we can here.] And other little things with you.

[residentmerc]

Okay. [ it's honestly a start!!! backdated threads alas. ] Then... We can do them. The little things you want to do.

[residentflorist]

[she shifts enough to look up at him.]

...only if you tell me the little things you want, too. Okay?

[residentmerc]

... I don't know that I have anything like that.

[ it's said hesitantly in the. i have genuinely never thought about it way because he is busy being locked in on the plot. this is main character status and not at all a mental predisposition to being obsessed with sephiroth for reasons ]

[residentflorist]

[yeah that also doesn't surprise her, frankly.]

Well...if you ever do then. You never know. Maybe being here will inspire you a little. [she is not so sure about that, but. let her dream.]

[residentmerc]

Maybe. [ a vague agreement because. he also isn't sure but LET'S DREAM ] Let's start with the picnic.

[residentflorist]

The picnic it is. We'll find a good day when things are a little less...this and go from there. [she does sit up and stretch a little though.]

...think it's too early to turn in? [the adrenaline has worn out. oh, the past them who were unaware how unhinged the rest of the week would be.]

[residentmerc]

[ he shrugs ]

Not the earliest we've turned in. [ even though a bitch sleeps two hours at a time every time the gang is like cloud you should rest. ff7 is hilarious. ] If you're worn out, no point in staying up.

[residentflorist]

[cloud please sleep, you absolute lunatic.]

Yeah, but what about you? [SHE KNOWS HOW LITTLE YOU SLEEP.]

[residentmerc]

[ well. ]

... If you still want me to stay, I'll probably turn in too. It'd be weird if I didn't.

[ JUST. STARING AT HER WHILE SHE SLEEPS? WHAT IS HE, ZACK ]

[residentflorist]

Yeah, it would be. [HELPFULLY POINTING THAT OUT. be zack less.] Besides, you're kinda already dressed for bed, don't you think?

[it's...comfier clothes, at least.]

[residentmerc]

You don't have to convince me. I already said I'd turn in if you did.

[ if she wanted him to stay, which. is kind of obvious that she does even for him, so. ]

[residentflorist]

Then...let's call it a night and try again tomorrow.

[because yeah. it should be obvious she wants him to stay. i do not think she's ever going to tell him to go back to his own apartment at this rate.]

[residentmerc]

... Alright.

[ i can't believe they share a bed but they still won't kiss im gonna kms ]

[residentflorist]

[entering their honk shoo snore mimimi era...also stop maybe they will kiss friday. it sure won't be any other day this week because too much happened.

anyway she does in fact just kind of settle down and fully expects him to share the bed with her because they're both ouchie burned. good night.]
