[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...

[moseyin]

Sure they are, I had a Nibel wolf figure that was pretty rough. ...but yeah, maybe not from here. [Sighs, ugh Zack, you're so high-maintenance]

We went out for drinks and he was complaining about how all his superiors would call him a puppy and it made him feel small, I guess. He might not mind it if it's from you, though.

[asphodels]

[ Hm. Aerith frowns, crossing her arms, now. ]

Why don't we look around and see if we can find anything? It doesn't have to be a toy, after all. Maybe something to decorate his room...

[moseyin]

[Did you fool him into knowing something about Zack, girlfriend] Yeah, sure. I'll bet he's the type to like those character keychains with your name on it.

[asphodels]

[ Pleads the fifth. ]

Oh! We should see if we can get him one! And maybe something for his phone, too. Do you think he'd wear a t-shirt?

[moseyin]

I can't picture him in anything that respectable. [cloud don't be mean]

[asphodels]

Cloud! [ She scoffs, shaking her head. ] Be nice! He would definitely wear it if we bought it.

[moseyin]

...now I wanna get something really ugly just to see if he'd wear it. [cloud that is not being nice] Something eye-searingly neon. Like neon yellow or hot blue.

[asphodels]

[ She scoffs, hitting his arm gently. ]

We need to get him something nice!

[moseyin]

[u can hit his arm hard u know, hope else he gonna shake this confusion status effect] Okay, well you'd definitely be the expert for that. [Gestures around the shop,] And you've got a lot to choose from. Anything grab your attention?

[asphodels]

[ She can't hit anything hard, Cloud, she has the lowest attack in the game. ]

Hmm. [ She starts to move around, considering here and there, incredibly thoughtful. ] I want to find something... [ What's the word... ] Memorable.

[moseyin]

[ya why u think ur always the one slapping ppl awake in a fight, girlie] Memorable, huh...? [Flicks through a T-shirt rack. What size would Zack even wear? ....actually he can't read these sizes anyway, probably best just to guess. Like, two sizes up from him, at least.] Something that reminds him of you, then. Maybe pink?

[asphodels]

[ Look sometimes u gotta main healer she didn't make the rules. ]

Something pink! I bet he'd wear it. [ She pushes the racks along before - aha. ] What about this?

[moseyin]

[CL
APS HAND OVER MOUTH.] ...holy shit. [IT'S PERFECT. AERITH, HOW]
