Heading in, knowing the majority of Tifa and the kids' stuff was still being moved back into their house, Cloud stepped around a few boxes.
"Aerith?" He tugged at Zack again, leading him through to the Cetra, his gaze instantly wandering away from Aerith to Tifa. He found it difficult not to behave like he'd only just fell in love and every chance he had to look at her, he took it.

He pipes up a 'excuse me' before he enters the place, maneuvering around the boxes easily. Then he just stands by Cloud's side for a while muttering a 'hi' to both girls even if his eyes were locked on Aerith. Yes they're two awkward dorks now.

She stopped when she spied Zack, watching the almost embarrassed way he reacted to seeing them all again. It wasn't as if she could blame him-- her own excitement when she had found him again had been mixed with pain and joy. It was the same this time, but with a bit more experience and few more friends around to make the adjustment a little easier.
With a quick glance toward the other woman and to Cloud, almost as if asking for their help to make him comfortable. Aerith took a few steps closer, bending slightly at the waist and tilting her head to get a better look at Zack's face.
"That's it? Just 'hi'? After all this time...?" she flashed him a smile before straightening, her tone teasing.

"Hi," she replied, smiling at him.

Nodding lightly, Cloud took Tifa's hand. "We'll leave you guys alone," he decided, tugging lightly at Tifa's hand. He knew that it was nice to just be alone when it was a moment this intimate.

She smiled as Rex came bounding up to them, tail wagging. "He remembers you, Cloud."

"Yeah, that was kinda lame, huh?" He runs his eyes over her, smiling "You're looking great..." Better than great, actually. He glances at Cloud when he suggests they leave them alone and part of him is grateful for the offer while another part - the protective streak he'd developped regarding the blonde - is just itching to refuse the offer. But at the same time he really wanted to talk to Aerith properly. Decisions decisions.
He smiles when he sees the dog.
"Heh, I see you girls have made a new friend..." He pets the dog's head, chuckling when he licks his hands. tail wagging. It looked like it was fond of having new visitors.

She glanced in Cloud and Tifa's direction, giving them a nod and an appreciative smile. They looked happy, and she was glad for that. It was going to be a little lonely without everyone staying with her. There was even the chance that Zack wouldn't want to take up his room in her home again.
"Maybe we can all have dinner tonight and catch up?" she offered, deciding that would give everyone a chance to speak in private.

Leading Tifa out, Rex bounding along behind, Cloud offered his best friends a faint smile. "You guys have fun." With a glance to Tifa, he nodded vaguely towards the door. "Let's mosey," and within seconds he'd led her out.
