[To Aeris]

He'd been on the island for a month and a half. Which was a month and a half longer than he'd have had back home

If you asked Aeris very far ahead, what her plans were--even she wouldn't have been able to predict very accurately, what she was going to do. Especially not on an island such as this.

She'd actually gone to the garden earlier, but restlessness drove her to wander instead. She was unused to the crimson dress that the clothes box had given her at Morgan's request, but it was crisp and new, and went along with the emerald ribbon she had found for her hair.

Still, it was less suited to tromping around the island in, so she chose to explore the Compound further. As often happened, she did not get very far, before she noticed Zack in the kitchen.

Grinning, she wandered in, waving brightly. "Sneaking lunch?"

"Sneaking?! I wouldn't say I was sneaking it. Just bringing it the same as always." He turned to face her and did a double take.

"Wow. Uh ... That's new." It was all he could manage for the moment as his blood pressure went up.

She giggled. "My fault, I guess! Can't help losing track of time here."

She smiled lightly, glancing down at the dress, and doing a slow twirl. "A friend found it for me! I suppose I can't wear the pink one forever."

"I liked the pink one." He'd never seen the pink one before Tabula Rasa in honesty. "But I could learn to like this one too," he added with a smile. He was liking it a lot at the moment.

He took her hand and pulled her close to him, being more bold than usual. His heart pounding in his chest and in his head. "You look beautiful," he said, looking her in the eyes. His tone still playful, but with a hint of being serious.
