Hell, she'd better come back safe... These people are way too much like the Shinra.

*is dumped out of the labs later that evening, begins slowly making her way back to the flower patch. She sees Zack, dutifully standing guard. Looks relatively unharmed, though walking with a very slight limp*

*smiles* I told you I'd come back.

[zack_rules]

Aeris! *jumps up to embrace her, then pulls back to look her over* Are you all right? You're limping.

[masamuned]

Can't put anything past you, can I? I'll be alright. It was more.. uncomfortable than anything. It's nothing compared to Shinra, and I withstood them well enough!

[zack_rules]

*relaxes a little, gives her a wry smile* Yeah... You sure you're okay? I can carry you if need be.

[masamuned]

They just asked a lot of questions. Did a little probing. *wrinkles her nose* Very rude, if you ask me.

*grins* No, I can walk. Though the overly dramatic image of my boyfriend carrying me home is a nice one~

[zack_rules]

I find most scientist doctor people need to work on their bedside manner.

*smile widens, and he bends to scoop her up princess style* Well, that's one service I can provide♥

[masamuned]

*makes a noise when she's lifted, then laughs* Zack! I was kidding, you know. I actually can walk just fine.

[zack_rules]

Aw, but you know I like being dramatic~

[masamuned]

You just want an excuse to cop a feel.

[zack_rules]

What? Now that would just be insensitive of me! ...unless you'd like me to, of course.

[masamuned]

*laughs* Oh I see your ulterior motives. Taking advantage of the victimized, are we?

[zack_rules]

False slander! I will do nothing without your permission, milady.

[masamuned]

Well, I appreciate it. *have a cheek kiss, though there's a little twinkle to her eye as she does*

They don't seem to know as much about people as Shinra did. Seems like as far as they're concerned, I'm just a regular person. I don't think I raised any red flags at all.

[zack_rules]

*soft smile* That's a relief... I thought their program seemed a bit more.. behind, but- Well, I'm happy to be right.

[masamuned]

It was! These people have nothing on Shinra. Like they can scare me. *smiles* Asked more questions than anything.

So! Are you taking me to my room, Sir Knight? *frowns back at her flowers* .. I'll have to try and fix the damage to them tomorrow.

*eyes suddenly go wide* You were hurt! Are you alright? Doing something stupid like getting yourself beat up in a place like this!

[zack_rules]

They'll be fine; I'm sure they've survived worse than soldiers' boots.

*commences carrying her inside, though gives a start at her sudden exclamation* Jeez, Aeris, I'm fine. Just bruises is all! I've been beat up a lot worse than that.
