Waking up early was no problem for Aerith, even though she had spent most of that previous night dragging Yuna around the city for what seemed to be hours on end. Although, the summoner had been out before her, which meant her body subconsciously demanded a couple more hours of sleep than usual

He didn't have to wait for long, but Zack didn't expect to either. Aerith had always been an early riser, and as the flower girl pulled the door open, Zack flashed her with a brilliant smile.

She was wearing her summer dress again, and he couldn't help but notice how nice she looked in it. Then again, Aerith probably had the knack to make a garbage bag look attractive on her, he thought fondly.

"The beach would have to be completely frozen over before I'd never be ready," Zack announced cheerfully before offering his arm to Aerith out of habit, "Is the lady ready for a day of fun and smoothie goodness herself?"

Zack's smile had Aerith returning the gesture, finding his brightness always to be contagious. At first she had just been dazzled and flustered, but thankfully years of maturation and exposure left her immune. ...For the most part.

"Of course she is," she replied happily, grasping onto his arm without even a moment's hesitation. Curiosity had her hip lightly bumping up against him to keep his attention as she asked, "How was your night? Did you have fun? Did you get sick?"

"Well good~ since I went through all the trouble of thinking up of a new smoothie combination today. I'd hate for it to go to waste," There was no hiding the amused chuckle at her reply and he found whatever reservations he'd been feeling before drifting entirely from his mind.

Her small hip bump drew his attention back as they made their way out of the inn. Zack's expression was one of pure innocence as he smiled. "It was a great night," He admitted. Zack purposefully left it short, not just to tease her, but because it was probably best she didn't know what they'd gotten up to. Glancing down at Aerith, he winked flirtatiously, "And I'm as fit as a fiddle. It's one advantage of being SOLDIER - any hangovers don't last for long at all."

Returning the gentle gesture, Zack playfully tapped his hip back against her's as he asked, "And how about your night? Keep yourself out of any mischief?"
