You mean the background? [Takes his comm back to send it to her with a couple swipes, still cuddled up to her side.]

[asphodels]

Yes. I want to see your face whenever I open it. [ Because why not? Her phone dings and she brightens, messing around with it as she leans against him. ]

[moseyin]

[aerith omfg

just

looks away and tries not to let his face burn off] ...guess I'll just do the same thing.

[asphodels]

Hmm.

[ Leaning up, she watches, almost absently. ]

We can take more, too.

[moseyin]

[Hmm indeed.

Cloud pulls back a little to get a good luck at her face, nudging her gently until she looks up and meets his eyes.]

Yeah, [he tells her, quiet but firm. He can't tell her that he has nothing to go back to, but he can tell her that he won't leave without her. Another time, maybe.] We can take as many as you want. Until you're sick of looking at our faces.

[asphodels]

[ Aerith blinks, staring at him for a moment, before her expression softens and she smiles, her hand lifting to brush hair out of his eyes. Pesky. ]

Then I want one hundred photos, okay?

[moseyin]

Is that all? [honey, that's a shitton of photos,]

[asphodels]

I'm going to count so we don't forget. This is number one.

[ Entertain me babe. ]

[moseyin]

Let's make sure we meet the quota for today. Twenty sound good?

[asphodels]

[ She laughs, beaming. ]

Okay! Let's take another, right here.

[moseyin]

Alright, but you take this one. [Also he's not smiling because he has a limited amount of smiles per day, cannot exceed, will go into smile deficit]

[asphodels]

[ And Aerith has a Plan, with a capital. As soon as they're posed with the camera just so, she leans in and kisses his cheek, snapping the photo at the same time. ]

[moseyin]

[CONGRATS YOU GOT HIM] Aerith-! [that's so embarrassing, you better show him that picture right now]

[asphodels]

[ She did that!! All the same, she turns the phone so he can see, beaming. ]

It's a nice photo!

[moseyin]

...delete it, I look stupid. [he loves it and he wants to ask for it but he doesn't want to for completely dumb reasons that make no sense]

[asphodels]

No you don't! I'm keeping it. [ You're so lame, Cloud, she locks her device with a pout. ]

[moseyin]

I guess that makes two, then. You sure you got enough space on that thing for a hundred of these? [if she kiss-bombs him like that he's gonna Die every time]

[asphodels]

If I have fifty of mine and fifty on yours... [ Now she's in deep thought. Are they big enough? ]

[moseyin]

...you don't have to think so hard on it. They have disposable cameras and stuff around here, right? Let's just go get one.

[asphodels]

We should buy extras to make sure we have some for other planets.

[moseyin]

How many extras are you talking? Aerith, I'm sure there's room on the comms, don't worry about it.

[asphodels]

Just a couple. I don't want to lose any of them.

[moseyin]

[It's a change from how she was at the Gold Saucer, and it doesn't take a genius to know why.] ...okay. Maybe we should get some cheesy commemorative frames from here too. Really get the full experience.

[asphodels]

[ There are some things you just don't want to forget. ]

Do you think we can hang one in my room?

[moseyin]

Don't see why not. It's your room, isn't it? [Okay, he's good now. Stands up and holds his hand out to her.] You can cover all four walls with pictures if you wanted.
