[There is a fairly large, red, wolf-lion creature walking cautiously through the village, drinking in the sights and looking surprisingly expressive for an animal; said expression can be summed up in the word CONFUSED. He's carrying a journal labeled "Nanaki" in his mouth, and his tail appears to be on fire.

WHAT WILL YOU DO.]

[Yuffie's already out and about, but when she spots the familiar red doggie, she has to run over to him!]

Red!!

[Action]

[nicekittyxiii]

[Oh god, it's the bane of his existence his eternal tormentor Yuffie.]

Y... Yuffie? You too? Is everyone here?

[Action]

[7bladesword]

[...Well at least Yuffie is glad to see him..]

Nah, only about half!

[Action]

[nicekittyxiii]

[No worries, despite all appearances to the contrary, he's glad to see her, too. Even if it hasn't been that long.]

That's still a lot. What in the world is going on?

[gardenerofgaia]

[...SHE KNOWS THAT WOLF-LION. |D]

Red! [Have Aerith half-walking, half-jogging over while waving. She looks perfectly healthy, and noticeably not-dead.]

[nicekittyxiii]

[...ffffff.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

SWEET HOLY IFRIT IS THAT AERITH, WHAT EVEN.]

[gardenerofgaia]

[She doesn't register Red's astonishment until she gets closer, but eventually she does realize, kneeling down near him to look at him more on face-level.] Don't worry, it's really me. [...She's probably just been in her garden and smells of fresh dirt and flowers.]

[nicekittyxiii]

[...Yeah, definitely smells like normal Aerith, not, you know, the dead, bloody scent she'd had at their last meeting. It was painfully nostalgic, but... wonderful, in a way. Because it was really her, wasn't it?]

It... it is you... how...?

[He'd seen it in the guide, sure, but reading it and seeing it were two very different things.]

[Well along with the large red wolf-lion walking through town, there's a younger boy walking in the opposite direction toward him to head home. He passes by Nanaki at first before stopping and taking a double-take. What the hell is that?]

Whoa.

[Action]

[nicekittyxiii]

[And since Nanaki doesn't have eyes in the back of his head, he's still walking. |D]

[Action]

[goggle_syndrome]

[Unfortunately for Nanaki, Taichi is an explorer. No really he'll start following him because seriously, what?] Dude what are you?

[Action]

[nicekittyxiii]

[What a rude child 8| Then again Barret had done the same thing, more or less, so this kid's getting the same answer.] I am what you see. I can't tell you more than that.

[kuroneko_13]

...[stares] Hey...doggy?

[nicekittyxiii]

[....Oi. Not your damned doggy.]

[kuroneko_13]

Or are you a kitty?

[nicekittyxiii]

[Nope, wrong again.]

[This one's sweeping out the front of Seventh Heaven at the moment, though she'll stop her work when she sees that familiar furry face.]

Red?

[Action]

[nicekittyxiii]

[Do do dooo walking, walking- Seventh Heaven, what's that? The name's familiar.

...Well, whatever. The girl is definitely more familiar.]

Tifa! So you are here, too!

[Action]

[7thheavensmile]

[Setting her broom down now, as she goes over to see him, limping slightly.]

I am. You must have just arrived, right?

[Action]

[nicekittyxiii]

[ffff limping, of dear.]

I- yes, it seems that way- but Tifa, you're hurt!
