Summary: Questions that don't have real answers.


Yuffie has questions. Lots of them. And Aerith tries to answer, because Aerith is the clever one, the one who understands books and spends her time learning. Yuffie'd rather live, rather fight and learn magic and challenge Leon and get her ass kicked soundly. She doesn't understand Aerith's attraction to books -- books and flowers and learning -- but she doesn't argue.

"What's a heart, really?" she asks, once.

Aerith doesn't know. Books don't say.

"What you make it," she says, after some thought. And she traces a heart on Yuffie's palm that tickles, warm with her finger's heat, and they both smile.
