That unasked question played on her face, but Zack wasn't sure what to do when Aerith didn't actually get the words out. Maybe she didn't want to know -- or maybe she already knew and didn't want to have to hear it straight from his mouth. She probably didn't want to know the grizzly details; he honestly wasn't sure if he wanted to give them. Who wanted to hear about someone they cared for being riddled with bullet holes, anyway?

Zack fought not to look down at his chest again. It still took some getting used to, this living and breathing thing.

When Aerith mentioned the sky, Zack immediately found himself smiling. It had been something they'd been working toward, and while he hadn't been able to show it to her himself, he was still glad to hear that she'd made it on her own. What was even more shocking, though, was that Aerith had gone so far as to get out of the slums and explore the world for herself. Zack's smile expanded into a grin.

"You're not kidding, right? You really did that? Aerith, that's great!" He leaned forward and patted her on the shoulder -- it was the sort of thing he was more used to doing to a fellow SOLDIER, but he wasn't sure what else to fall back on when they were in a space that reminded him of the mess halls back at HQ. "I knew you could do it," he finished proudly.

"Nope! Not kidding at all." Yes, the happier things were much easier to talk about. Aerith had changed a lot since Zack had last seen her, and there were hundreds upon hundreds of things she wanted to tell him. He'd never believe that she'd seen so much of the world and done so many things. "I've been to more places than I can count on both hands, if you can believe that!" Of course, she couldn't have done all that on her own. Which reminded her... Gaia, she had so many questions.

"I wasn't by myself, though. I had a lot of friends with me. One of them... really reminded me a lot of you sometimes," she finally said, resting her hands in her lap.

While Zack could only barely believe it, he knew that Aerith wouldn't lie to him about something so important. Besides, she had to know that he was well-traveled when it came to Gaia, so he would have been able to test her. Shin-Ra had really sent him all over the place, and that was one thing he could thank the company for; he wouldn't have gotten the chance to experience so much without it.

He was genuinely shocked to hear that someone had reminded Aerith of him, though. Zack had been under the impression that he was one of a kind, so it almost bothered him, even though he knew that she couldn't have meant anything bad about it.

"How so?" he asked. "There's no way he could have matched up to my good looks." He leaned in toward her, flashing a smile as if to make his point. He was just going to have to hope that she agreed with him.
