The day before had been quite eventful for Aerith just as it had been for her two traveling companions. And a learning experience foremost. She had naively thought that air travel would be as pleasant and enjoyable as a train or ship ride. Oh... she was wrong.

The flower girl had seldom felt nausea before (save for the time in her teens when Zack tried to teach her to do a handstand), but it was evident that riding in an airship would be associated with that feeling. Just thinking about it made her feel a little woozy, but thankfully their flight wasn't about to begin yet

Zack was so distracted in his thoughts that he didn't sense the eyes on him. There was just too many things to do, and too little information to go on. Sure knowing how to possibly bring down Aetas was all fine and good, but they couldn't do that yet... and when it came to the WEAPONs, he didn't even know if it was possible for them to be taken down by their means, let alone try and find them all.

Pushing himself back up, Zack was about to start another round of squats before he paused at the familiar voice calling from the railing. He didn't need to see who was there to know who it was, and just hearing Aerith's voice brought a smile to the SOLDIER's face.

"Yep, I'd have to agree with you on that one," Zack said just as cheerfully as he spun himself around to face Aerith. Making his way over to the railing she was resting against, the SOLDIER peered at the flowergirl and smiled, "Are you feeling better today? I don't have to go and get my nurses outfit, do I?"

Aerith pulled her gaze from the desert view and turned to regard Zack as he approached her. It was good to see a smile on his face rather than the frustration just minutes before, and she found herself reciprocating the gesture naturally.

"I'm fine!" she said firmly with a proud salute. "Not much can keep me down for long, y'know." Although she had a feeling it would return once they were in the air again. Ignoring that thought, her smile phased into a playful grin as her hands rested behind her back. "Although maybe I should fake a cough... I'd get a kick seeing you model a nurse's outfit, eheh."

He wasn't all that surpised that Aerith had bounced back quickly, but he was glad all the same. Zack didn't like seeing her as anything but happy, and to see her back to her usual self kept the smile on his face. He just hoped that the next time they went up in the air she wouldn't be struck down with too much motion sickness.

"Oh if you did that then I'd have to take your temperature as well," Zack said with a laugh before shifting himself so that his hip leant against the railing post. Reaching up to affectionately flick the tip of Aerith's nose, he murmured, "Knowing you, you'd probably end up taking photos and plastering them everywhere."
