[ Madoka doesn't know why or how - in fact, it's unlikely she even thinks of it as something really weird right now - but she woke up with a huge desire to just help people. Help people, any people, with anything at all. It didn't matter what, as long as she could just try to help someone and be useful through that, just that much would be okay

[They're near the plaza--Aerith works there and lives right nearby, so it's not odd for her to be there. and, she's not yet affected, so she just looks at Madoka curiously when she comes up. Oooh, cute hair.]

Hm? Do I look like I need help? [She leans forward.] You seem a little tired.

[happyends]

E-eh? Tired..?

[ Of course, even she has to realise she does feel a little tired, but.. she clearly has a mission of helping people out right now, so she has to work extra hard for that. What is being a little tired. ]

Hmm, no, I'm fine, really! It must be the weather, ehehe..

[gardenerofgaia]

It has gotten very hot. But no, I don't need help with anything in particular right now! [She smiles.] Thank you for offering, though. I'm Aerith. What's your name?

[happyends]

Um.. Madoka. Madoka Kaname. It's nice to meet you, Aerith-san..

Although.. are you really sure you don't need anything? E-even if it's just really small, I don't mind helping out at all!

[gardenerofgaia]

Nice to meet you too, Madoka.

Hmm... well... you're really serious about this, aren't you? What if it's just something I want to do?

[happyends]

I just.. want to help people out as much as possible, that's all. If I could make someone happy by helping them, that would make me very happy as well! So anything at all is fine!

[gardenerofgaia]

Okay then... [It's an absurd request on her end, but everyone is acting a bit absurd today and if it works, it gets the girl off her feet and relaxing for a few minutes.

Besides. Pink hair.]

Can I put up your hair? I'd really like to practice hair styling. [Styling cute pink hair. ...No, she's not stuck on this or anything.]

[happyends]

Cut up my hair..?

[ Oh, that's enough to make her look surprised for a moment.. but then she eagerly nods. Because hey, helping out is helping out and it's necessary today. ]

Of course you can! I wonder if it could be something cute..

[gardenerofgaia]

[Well, luckily for Madoka, Aerith isn't actually planning to cut anything think I phrased that last comment weirdly, she just wants to play with pink hair. So Madoka might end up with braided pigtails or other such things.]

I'll try my best to make it cute! Is there anything you'd like to try with it?

[happyends]

[ It's not really like she would have cared either way if part of her hair was cut off (especially not while she's in the overly helpful mode), but she still looks enthusiastic. ]

Not really.. Mama always told me these ribbons look cute on me, but if you think something else might be cute too, please feel free to try it out!

[gardenerofgaia]

[Aerith's smile changes a little at that.] Your mom's right. And if she said that, it's important to keep the ribbons! But that doesn't mean we can't try something new with them. Let's sit over here. [It's near the fountain, though not close enough that any spray will bother them.]

[happyends]

[ She sits down, still with a little smile on her face. ]

It seems Aerith-san really knows a lot about this sort of thing..

[gardenerofgaia]

Well, I've gotten in a lot of practice with my hair. I usually wear it like this, but every once in a while I try something new. [She loosens the ribbons gently, letting the hair fall down as it will.]

[happyends]

Maybe you should start some sort of hairdresser's saloon here..

I mean, people here need their hair cut and all too, right?

[gardenerofgaia]

That's right, they do. I guess I just haven't considered it because I work with the flowers, and I want them to get the best care they can. [She works on straightening the hair a bit, and then separating it into parts.] Is pink hair common where you come from? I never saw it much in Midgar.

Hmm.. [ That actually makes her think for a moment. ] I've seen it on some other people before.. But everyone's hair color is really different, right? My friend from home, Hitomi-chan.. she has green hair, and my other friend Sayaka-chan--
