Finally snapping her device shut, Aeris dropped it into her basket, brushing her hair from her eyes. It'd been a long night - after talking things over with Cain, reassuring Arietta...it was starting to take its toll.

But at least she was finally given a chance to meet up with Zack. It'd been quite some time since she'd seen him.

Pushing the cafe door open, Aeris glanced around, a smile crossing her lips when she spotted him. "Zack!"

[astutesoldier]

"...Aeris!"

As soon as he heard her voice, he instantly rose out of his seat and turned to her with a smile. This was definitely it. Her smile did make him feel lighter, happier. And, damn it, did he need that now. Sighing, he stepped forward and pulled her into a hug, as promised.

"It's good to see you."

"It's great to see you too," she replied, returning the hug. It'd been much too long.

Pulling back slightly, Aeris looked up at Zack, hoping the tiredness and worry in her eyes was masked by her smile. "So...shall we sit down and catch up on things?" she asked. "I think we both need it."

[astutesoldier]

"Definitely," Zack agreed heartily. Offering her a crooked smile, he pulled back fully before pulling out a chair for her. While he did so, he vaguely wondered where to start. He couldn't even remember the last timehe had seen Aeris face to face. This meeting was definitely needed.

"When was the last time we saw each other anyway?" he wondered aloud, staring up at the ceiling.
