It had woken up feeling far more refreshed than before, and had long ago slipped out of Cloud’s shop and began to wander the streets again. The return of the rain didn’t bother it, and the WEAPON found it a comforting gesture as each drop continued to fall down onto the Planet. It had walked aimlessly to begin with, first scouting around the area that it had previously been held captive in, before wandering out further into the city.

The water splashed beneath each footfall, but the dragon held no care, for it was more than well aware of the fact that no human would be out to spot it - not with this weather. It was why the creature found itself walking out from the alleyway without a care as the bar finally came into sight. Slowing down to a stop on the alleyway’s edge, the WEAPON sat itself down on the ground while its head rose up to glance at the building that currently housed the Cetra.

Rain had a tendency to make people lose themselves in their thoughts. Either the water itself or the constant sound of the rain hitting the roof made it very easy to drift away. Aerith began to plan her day in her mind. Maybe talk to Tifa first--she knew the woman would be able to understand her a little better than Barret would when it came to her concern over how the remaining members of AVALANCHE would react to her resurrection. Cloud's reaction alone, while expected, worried her...

Leaning against the side of the window, Aerith closed her eyes for a moment. They felt heavy. Getting more sleep sounded nice, but she doubted she could. It was too easy an escape. Opening her eyes, she fixed the blanket around her shoulders, and glanced out the window once more.

This time, there was something else there in the rain. She froze before she recognized the shape. It was the dragon. Unsure what to do (especially after last night), she cautiously raised a hand--and gave a tiny wave. And hoped Cloud wasn't around.

Dragging its gaze over the building in front of it, the WEAPON found its attention drifting up to the window where another stood. Recognition flashed through the beasts red eyes as it rumbled off a small growl in response to the Cetra. Pushing itself up to stand, the dragon took a few steps further out onto the streets before its attention swayed over towards the building just opposite her window.

Within the next moment it was off. Muscles flexing without strain, the dragon effortlessly climbed up the side of the wall before disappearing onto the rooftop of the adjacent building. Walking over to the edge, it leapt effortlessly over to the side of the outside wall of Tifa’s bar. Claws digging into the area, it skilfully began to climb the surface just as it would any other and made its way over towards the window it had seen the Cetra.

Poking its head down from the top of the window pane, curious crimson eyes gazed into the room as it gave an inquisitive rumble in response.

Aerith made a sound of surprise when the dragon was in motion. Her fear was not that it was coming closer, but that the others would hear the commotion and wake up. She physically winced as it left considerable marks on the outside of the bar. How was she supposed to explain that to Tifa?

"Shh!" Aerith said, raising a finger to her lips, fully aware the creature might not understand or hear it. Pausing, she listened. The bar was still quiet, as far as she could tell.

The dragon was just another thing to worry about. "Stay. I'll go outside," she said, not finding it odd at all that she was speaking to some strange thing or that she was about to go out into the rain to... apparently talk to it more.

Tightening the blanket around her once more, Aerith quickly and quietly made her way away from the window, through the bar, and to the front door.
