Hey everyone... sorry to the people I talked to last week. I know I must've been pretty confusing while I was sick, huh? But no worries, I'm all better now!

Cloud, Aerith, I know I already said it, but... thanks for taking care of me. And I'm sorry for worrying you.

How's everybody else? Newcomers, are you settling in alright? I know this place can be kind of disorienting at times, but give yourself some time and you'll be fine.

Oh hey, Faize, don't worry about giving back that materia, okay? I don't really need it anymore. Are you having fun with it?

[Aerith grins, passing him one of the cups.] Cloud give you a run for your money?

More like I finally gave him a run for his! It's been way too long since I was able to give him such a challenge.

[A chuckle.] Good. Can't have him getting lazy~

[Serious discussion, what serious discussion. Sitting down by you, sipping her chocolate.]

[Ah, this is so nice and relaxing, just sitting down with his girl and enjoying being able to put his feet up.]

[...She's going to run out of hot chocolate if she keeps drinking it, and there has to be some kind of distraction while they're talking.]

...It's been a month since I got here...I'm really glad to be staying with you guys.

[Trying to keep him here longer, Aerith? :|]

We're glad to have you too. It's especially nice to have you so close, so you can't disappear on us or anything.

I guess I pulled the disappearing act a few too many times, huh? [Still smiling, but--it looks a little strained at that, and she raises the cup to her lips and then sets it back down in her lap without taking a sip.]

Not too many that you aren't still welcome. [He doesn't want to give her the wrong impression - he's definitely happy to have her here.]

Mm. ...I guess I was just a little worried. [Definitely taking a sip now.] It sounded like I was distant before.

Cloud figured it had something to do with you... ah... being in the Lifestream before. Maybe you changed a little. You're not like that now, though.

Yeah, I guess that would explain it. The Ancients in the temple... That's not really important right now, though. [Fiddling with her cup.]

...I'm sorry. For the letter, and--[holy, tone change.]--but I bet this is ancient history for you, huh! [Mmm, more hot chocolate. ...okay maybe she just gulped that down too quickly.]

[Zack lifts a hand to touch the cup, tugging it down a bit.] Careful, careful! Don't hurt yourself. And... don't worry about that. I'm not angry at all about what you said.

[So red now. So red.]

O-okay.

[So cute.]

...There's no harm in starting over, is there?

[Might as well be up front about it.]

[He's kinda cute with that blush, too, although Aerith might be a little too preoccupied by what he just said.]

What if I change?

[Zack glances sidelong at her for that.]

...You mean, what if you change your mind?

No. I'm not going to change my mind--not like that. [Hell, she's still wearing pink.]

...If you change, it's because you want to. So whatever you decide to do, I'll respect it.

[That's sweet, Zack. It went left field from what she's worried about after the first three words, but still. She smiles, touching her head to his shoulder.]

You're too sweet.

...You've always made me really happy, you know? Just being here.

[He's got a lot on his shoulders nowadays, but her head isn't heavy at all. The touch makes him smile a little.]

We're lucky to have you here too, Aerith. We need someone to keep us sane.

This place can be pretty stressful, huh? [Understatement.] But we can handle it together.

...Anything you want to talk about?

Yeah, we can. [....Oh boy.]

I'm not... really sure what to say. Heh, this is a first, isn't it?

I don't think I've seen you tongue-tied before. [But she can wait, she knows she's not the best with words herself at times.]

Probably because it never really happens. [But this is hard, so he can't rush into it without thought.]

...I... don't know what I want, Aerith. I wish I had a better answer for you, but I don't. So maybe we could just take it slow? If you're not against it, I mean...

No, that's okay. [That response doesn't take much thought at all; she likes staying with both Zack and Cloud, she doesn't want to do anything that might change that, like rushing Zack. Besides, she needs to adjust herself.]

It's true, a lot's happened! I'm still getting used to you being back. [...possibly too frank.]
