[ 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.

[asphodels]

[ She takes it, happily, humming. ]

Maybe not four. Three would be fine.

[moseyin]

[pfft] Oh yeah, geez, don't wanna go overboard. Let's not look too desperate.

[asphodels]

[ She shakes her head, pushing at him gently. ]

You're teasing me.

[moseyin]

Heh heh. [Rocks with it, leaning back into her space] Yeah, a little bit. [Because she's really, really cute about it.] Let's go, cameras aren't gonna get themselves, right?

[asphodels]

You're right. [ Reaching out, she takes his hand again, tugging him close before she turns her attention to the stalls around. ] Which way?

[moseyin]

Gift shops are usually near the entrance, right? Catch people before they go and all that. [He's just bullshitting but y'know what it sounds logical and all. It's a good guess, and he could probably use some water or something so he doesn't throw up on whatever they go on next.] Maybe we can get Zack something too...

[asphodels]

I think so. [ She walks with him, considering for a moment. What sort of gift would Zack like? She wants to get him something good, but she's not entirely sure what. Hm. ] What do you think he'd like?

[moseyin]

Me? [Holds the door open before following her inside.] I dunno... You know him a lot better than I do.

[asphodels]

I think... [ Aerith wanders around, thoughtful. ] I want to get him a dog.

[moseyin]

A dog? [hey girlfriend, why are you so weird] Like, an actual dog?

[asphodels]

No! A toy one! [ boy please roll with it. ] Don't you think it suits him?

[moseyin]

[Well, yes, but now Cloud is remembering Zack's drunken whining on that bus bench when they got drinks together.] Yeah, but I think it should be a tough-looking one. Like a wolf or something, and no puppies.

[asphodels]

Hm. [ She taps her chin, thoughtful. ] I don't know if toys are made to look tough and scary...
