[He's seen the tail-end of it purely by accident, and once he realizes this isn't something he's supposed to see, he looks away, waits for it to fade out before approaching the fallen orb, bending down to pick it up. It's with a smile that he takes the last few steps forward, holding an umbrella both over their heads while his hand remains outstretched.]
Here, you dropped this.
[He looks tired, almost, the smile losing its brightness after a while.]

[ Aerith's features ease, and she smiles, even if there isn't much spirit in it. Even then, it's more than what Dino has, and she delicately takes the white materia from him. She's grateful, and cracks a little joke, even if it's a tad strained. ]
You'd think that it hates me, the number of times it keeps dropping.

[unlike the majority, his beacon-or rather, hasui's-had only played back one of the calmest scenes his home was capable of. he recorded it. shouta's not really sure why, having something like that stored on the NEXUS device's memory ... it was ironic at best. regardless, he hits the video playback for her, displaying this. gentle and bright, the branches reach across the screen in the strong breeze. the sound of the wind through soft sprays of petals drifts through the background.
[ ....There's a moment's pause before she realizes that people actually saw that, and she shakes her head, even if he cannot see. There is perhaps a quiet, mysterious smile in that voice. ]
I didn't have to. He didn't hurt me.
[ She doesn't know for sure, but she trusts him. He wouldn't, right? ]
[the crystalline sphere rolls right into the leather toe of a shoe. Tyki's shoe, to be exact. he regards it for a few moments with a curious stare before leaning down to scoop it up into his hand, twirling it between his fingers.
he tosses it up once- twice- checking its weight while he turns his attention to the flower girl headed his way.] This yours?
[he'd been too busy playing silent spectator to her memories to even notice that it had dropped from her hair.]
[ Aerith looks up at the man not too far away from her, features melting into a relieved smile - at least it hadn't rolled off into some kind of gutter! ]
Yes, it's mine -
[ He's tall, well-dressed, with curious markings on his forehead, but he seems pleasant enough, and really, who is she to quibble about minor physical differences? She draws closer, then, moving to reach for the materia. ]
- I'm sorry, it keeps trying to get away from me, these days!
[he doesn't hesitate to return the materia to its rightful owner, setting it down in the center of her palm. he smiles good-naturedly.] It's lighter than it looks. Is it some sort of gem?

... You trust him. ... even though he was going to do something like that?

I didn't think he was going to do that.

[ She laughs quietly, shaking her head, and the materia pulses warmly in her hand. ]
Thanks, though - you are...?
