[ Zack meanders through, holding bags of what looks like could be snacks and drinks, though one shouldn't assume anything before having a peek. ]

Hey, Girlie! I got your message. Seems like I found the place alright.

[ He grins at her, producing the bags for inspection. ]

I brought treats!

[breathofearth]

Hiya, Zack. [She turns her head to him, smiling as she closes the infernal instruction booklet and reaches for the bags.] How sweet of you!

Fruit parfait! [She blinks, touched.] They're my favorite! [Pause.] How did you know?

[freereport_com]

[ Zack blinks several times, remembering the promise he made to keep the person who wanted the bag's contents delievered identity a secret. Then back to smilin' without a single hitch more. ]

Ah, you know! It's cause I know you so well.

[ His grin is completely innocent, though somewhere inside he has the feeling this will come back on him ten-fold, sooner or later. ]

[breathofearth]

[She smiles at that, lol oblivious.] You should try the snacks I made. Who knows, maybe it'll turn out to be your favorite too!

[lyingragnarok]

[Of course Vanille was going to show up! Even if its to just get in the way of building the wagon, though stick her with the flowers and she might not want to ever leave]

Hello? [Peeks around the side of the building before coming out] Hey there! You must be Aerith, yeah?

[Australian Gran Pulsian accent thick, she grins] I'm Vanille, we talked on the. Uhm. Network thing about the garden, so here I am!

[breathofearth]

[Aerith turns away from Zack and smiles wide to the new comers, nodding politely.] That's me! Thanks for coming, you two. It's nice to meet you...finally. [BOTANICAL PALS, UNITE!]

[She gestures to the un-assembled wagon on the ground and returns her attention to the booklet in her hands.] Er... it's a lot harder than this makes it sound... I think the panels are all mixed up.

[lyingragnarok]

[Looks at the booklet and then looks at the parts that were supposed to make up the wagon. Vanille wouldn't even know where to begin, but its not like she's going to really say that out loud!]

Well, we wanted to come and help! But uhm. [Tilts her head slightly, as if looking at it upside down makes it make more sense]

...I've never built a wagon before! Don't you need to put the wheels on it somewhere?

[thewarisover]

[Comes around, lingering for a moment to watch Aerith at work before eventually announcing his presence.]

Need help?

[breathofearth]

[Aerith turns her attention from her instruction booklet and smiles in relief as she greets Roy.] Roy! Thank goodness you came... d'you think you could give reading this a whirl?

[She holds the booklet out to him.]

[thewarisover]

Oh, sure.

[Blinks, takes a hold of it and starts to read.]

What do you need to know, in particular?

[breathofearth]

Ah... well... everything, I think. I've never actually built anything before, actually. [Those tents don't count because she mostly just watched the others pop them open.]

... [She deflates. The look of shame.]

[bravoalphamike]

[ Who's that in the shadows? Is it a bird? Is it an Avon rep?

No, it's Tseng strategically positioned behind something, as usual. His posture and expression don't exactly shout come hither. More like abandon all hope, ye who venture too close. ]

[freereport_com]

Hey!

Surprised to see you out, among the living!

[ Zack is the bright and cheer to chase away the clouds of gloom trying to rain on their parade. ]

[bravoalphamike]

[ Tseng gives him that look that says, "You know what we used to do to little boys like you in the darkest corners of the jungle?" ]

Surprise. Now go.

[freereport_com]

[ Apparently you give them baths, in hot springs? *innocent grin* ]

Fine, fine!

[ Zack relents in a sing-song voice as he starts to walk away, but he can't help but give Tseng a wink over his shoulder. ]

I hope you brought sunscreen!

[himynameisluki]

[
LUKI.

HAS ARRIVED.

Rounding the corner and spotting "that pink thing" that must be Aerith, she starts to run over]

BIG SIIIIIS

[breathofearth]

[Aerith looks over just in time to see the flurry that is LUKI coming her way.]

Miss Luki! [She decidedly closes the distance between them and bends down a little to capture her in a warm embrace.] I've finally met you in person. [She laughs.] Good thing we stand out like sore thumbs, huh?

[himynameisluki]

[
Aaah warm embrace on a hot day aaah]

Sore thumb?

[
aaah Luki is wearing a smaller dress and you can see her scars and how her left arm looks like it was literally put together and the metal thing around the back half of her neck aah]

[breathofearth]

[AGH. Once Aerith pulls away her skin's kind of sticky. Sorry about the impulsive love, Luki.]

Eheh, it's a saying! Have you heard it before? [She smiles, finally noticing all these new features on the girl that she never noticed before. She's used to seeing weird things, but... wow. STILL. YOU'RE CUTE AS EVER. ]

Oh.. [Aerith glances around.] How about we stick in the shade and do some gardening? The wagon isn't ready for riding-action yet, sadly.
