Mmhm. It's one of the only places in the whole sector that the sunlight can reach. [the slums are not great! but they were home and she's not about to explain this to a very sheltered teenager when she has a different point to the story.]
It's definitely how I met more people. I knew a few who were always on the main street, shopkeepers and people like that. But when I started selling the flowers, I started gaining customers. And after a while, I started going to sell them to other sectors. There aren't many flowers in Midgar at all, so they were...a luxury item, I guess you could say. [midgar full of flowers, wallet full of money.]
...he didn't remember right away, at first, but the first time I met Cloud was when I was selling some of my flowers.
[yaaaay she was on the right track of telling him about this specific instance.]
Nope. We only met a little while ago. [she doesn't give and exact timeline, but the implication is that it really was like. maybe a few months. we don't know do not ask me.] The first time we met while I was selling flowers, but the second time he fell through the roof of the church. We've been together since then.
He seems so put together, right? But it's true! Crashed right down into my flowerbed. [eheheh.] After that, he came with me for a few errands and I brought him home with me. He only stayed for a little while, but that wasn't the last time we saw each other. Eventually we started traveling together with our other friends. And that's how we met Yuffie.

[perking up a little, immediately more interested. yes girl tell him about your friend!!]
I wondered... how the two of you knew each other. You didn't become friends until later on...?

[he tries to stifle a giggle, hand over his mouth, but it happens regardless.]
I wouldn't have expected something like that to happen to him.
