[For anyone who passes by 845 Goldberg street, they'll notice that the house looks quite a bit.. nicer. The hedges are trimmed nicely, the lawn green and lush, and a little flower garden has popped up in front. And behind it all is a little woman with a trowel in her hand, hair pinned back and sleeves rolled up, hard at work.]

You always did have a green thumb.

[in_florescence]

Tifa!

[heartofheaven]

[Goes to hug.]

[in_florescence]

[She's a little surprised, but lets her. She laughs a bit.]

What's this all of the sudden?

[heartofheaven]

[Slightly embarrassed.]

I just wanted to check... that it's really you. You're alive, you've got dirt on your fingernails, look.

[Laughs.]

Sorry, that was weird.

[in_florescence]

[She blinks, looking at her fingernails then bursts into laughter.]

I do, don't I?

[heartofheaven]

[Looks around at the garden.]

No wonder. Looks like you've been busy.

[in_florescence]

Well, I thought that since I'm going to be here, I may as well do something I enjoy. It's not quite the church, but it will do. I have a lot more room to work with anyway.

[Nods]

What's your family like?

[in_florescence]

Well, from what I can tell the children are drones. But the "father" is a nice guy. He seems to keep to himself mostly, though.

What about your family?

[heartofheaven]

None of them are drones. The father... he keeps to himself as well. My daughters are Azula and Persephone. I think you'd like Persephone; she has a green thumb too.

[in_florescence]

[She grins a little, giggling softly.]

I have to say Tifa, the thought of you having children is a little amusing, even if they aren't yours. Maybe you can introduce me sometime?

[heartofheaven]

Sure.

And... well... I do have children, back home. Not mine, but Cloud and I sort of adopted Marlene. And another orphan, Denzel.

We found him in your church. I always thought that you brought him to us. [Laughs, a little embarrassed again.]

[in_florescence]

[Knowing smile.]

Ahh, so that's the kind of relationship you two have now.

[heartofheaven]

[Blushes furiously.]

[Mumbles something inaudible.]

[in_florescence]

[Aerith puts a finger to her cheek and giggles.]

So tell me about Denzel? Does Cloud make a good father?
