I promised girly time, didn't I? <3 pink_aerith March 15 2010, 14:55:29 UTC
Aerith had finished tending the flowers at the flower shop a little early than usual since the flowers tell her if they needed some tending from her or not. It seems like most of the flowers were content and didn't need much tending, so she spoke to them a bit before heading off.

It has been a few days since the mist incident, but she didn't want to take any chances again. The last time she was out of the flower shop early was when the mist had to appear, so she was being careful by staying close to the cafe.

Entering the small cafe, she couldn't help smile realizing that she hasn't been at the cafe for a while now. Might as well get something to eat before going anywhere else. Xion's greeting was really sweet, so she couldn't help giggle happily.

"Thank you, Miss. Xion~ And take your time, okay?" responded Aerith with the usual kind smile on her face. She headed towards the closest seat available and began to read the menu happily. What should she get?

Oh!

"Aerith," Xion says happily as she makes it over to the table. "How're you doing?"

She hasn't seen Aerith since the Mist, and... and Xion's still really grateful. If she wasn't there, well...

Stop thinking about that, Xion tells herself firmly.

"I'm doing really well," responded softly Aerith with the same smile on her lips. She looked at her and asked, "How about you, hm?" Aerith has touched the mist and knew it had a bad effect, but she wanted to make sure that Xion didn't have any side effects from the experience, so she asked, "I hope you haven't felt any side effects from our adventures in the mist."

Xion shakes her head. "I'm doing okay. I haven't felt any side effects at all or anything. Everything's just... normal." As normal as anything can get when she's been staying with a stranger-than-usual Kefka and when Saïx has made a return appearance in her nightmares.

She gave her a bright smile at the news that Xion wasn't experiencing any side effects, so she said, "I'm glad to hear that. The last time something strange happened, I got really sick from it." The animal change will never leave her mind, for more than one reason.

When Aerith looked directly at Xion, she couldn't help wonder if "normal" was good for her. The way she said it made her wonder about it. "And normal is good, right?" asked Aerith curiously because she couldn't help feel curious about her well-being. Then again, whenever Aerith catches anything odd by a little gesture or words, she can't help want to know if it was a good thing or not.

"Normal's... normal." Not necessarily good or bad, because it's both.

She shakes her head a little and the business-cheerful smile returns. "Do you want to start out with some water or anything?"

Aerith smiled at the thought that normal was good for Xion because some people don't like the idea of normal. The flower girl used to think that normal was "perfect", but that was a time that she didn't accept herself. Now she understands herself a little more, so she doesn't really believe that "normal is perfection". She'd love to be normal like everyone else, but she's happy being herself.

At the thought of something to drink, she couldn't help debate if she should get water or ice tea. Maybe she should ask about it. "Do you have any ice tea here?" asked Aerith. She couldn't help wonder if the cafe had it or not. "If you don't have any, then water sounds good," added Aerith, in case there wasn't any ice tea.

"Yup, we've got iced tea." Xion nods. "Sweet and unsweet. Lemme guess, though..." She puts a finger to her mouth for a moment, as if thinking, and then smiles again. "Sweet?"

"Great" responded Aerith happily because she really was in the mood for ice tea. Then her guess made her giggle, so she gave her a wink and said, "You've read my mind~ Are you a mind reader, hm?" Then again, it must have been obvious what Aerith's preference was, but she didn't mind.

Xion giggles sheepishly. "If only. Okay, I'll get that right out to you. Be right back!"

What would she do if she could read minds? Maybe she'd finally understand Kefka, or know what Roxas wants to do tomorrow, or... or maybe she'd be able to predict people aiming an attack at her. Augh. Stop it, Xion. Stop it.

Aerith nodded her head happily at the thought of being able to read minds because she couldn't help feel curious about what other people usually think about it. She couldn't help wonder if it'd be useful to read her boyfriend's thought. Then again, maybe it would be best not to know too much or she might get upset.

She waited for her order while watching Xion closely wondering if she was really okay. Didn't she accidentally get injured by Saix's attack during the mist? Aerith couldn't help start to feel worry, again. Maybe she should check on her and her injuries later.

"Here's your tea," Xion says brightly as she sets the glass on the table. "Are you ready to order something else, or do you need some more time?"

pink_aerith March 18 2010, 23:54:25 UTC
She looked up at Xion and gave her a smile and said, "Thank you, Xion!" Taking the cold drink, she took a small sip from it and smiled happily at her, "It's really good."

At her next words, she began to wonder if she should order something to eat, but she wanted to talk with her a bit, too. Looking at the menu for a couple of moments, she smiled happily at the thought of eating a pasta salad because she was definetly craving it. "I think I'll order a pasta salad," responded Aeris while looking at the menu and at Xion. Giving her another smile, she said, "Make it two because I'll like to invite you to eat with me." She tilted her head and asked, "Is that okay?"

Xion blinks. And then she blinks again. "Oh..."

And then she smiles. "O-...Okay. I'll be back soon, then."

It's not the first time someone's asked her to eat with them like this, but it still makes her happy. It's... It's nice to be invited. She's not used to knowing so many people who want to spend time with her, and... It's nice.

"Okay, here we are!" she says brightly, sliding the meals onto the table. She slips into the seat opposite Aerith, smiling a little shyly.

Aerith smiled brightly at her and said, "Take your time." Once she watched her leave, she took another sip of her tea until she began to feel a little ill. Placing a hand on her stomach, she gave a deep breath and muttered to herself, "I really shouldn't have skipped breakfast, hm?" She relaxed for a few moments longer until the feeling pasted.

When Xion came back with the, the smile returned and said, "Thanks." She looked at her food happily, "It really does look good, hm?" She took a bite out of her meal and nodded happily that it was good. "What should we have for dessert after this? Any suggestions?" asked Aerith hopping for her to feel comfortable around him.
