[Static. A door opens, very quiet footfalls on the floor. Then a soft noise, one of curiosity, before there's a gasp, a rapid metallic/clicking sound, and the squeak of hinges. Silence again, then-]



...holy shit.



[[ooc: Cloud got his box of shinies. And he can't use any of it.]]

[Take some--Aerith deflates a little because yeah, Malnosso just asked for people to kill her and might come around to do it themselves--but that's pretty good incentive to look through the materia, too. Starting to search now.]

These are amazing. [She's kinda awed, materia being, what, knowledge collected from the lifestream and all.]

[Action] fff okay I did not get the notif for this.

[Cloud watches her sift through them; Tifa and Zack had already taken their pick, but there were still plenty powerful spells left.

...thinking about Zack had Cloud thinking about what he'd said and that just got him turning bright red. He'd said he and Aerith had talked about it. Agreed. What. What.]

[Action] I was wondering. XD

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Aerith gravitates towards healing and protective spells, and oooh shiny Earth--shut up, Faeren--well, okay, having Quake never hurt. Looking at a mastered Lightning materia when the thought suddenly pops into her head: Is Cloud blushing?

Sideways glance. Oh, he is. Hmm.]

[Shut up woman, don't look at me and- take more offensive materia than that! There's a Comet in there somewhere.]

[Fine, fine, we're rooting through a little more for the damage-dealing stuff. Hm hm hm...oooh.]

How much gil for those thoughts?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Trick question; there's no gil here.

Blackberry tarts?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Wtf, seriously considering this.] ...how many.

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Oh god. Ultimate bribery technique.] Hmmmm...would six be enough? [I mean, if she's going to put the time into cooking, she might as well make a few anyway.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Dozen?

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Where do you put it all? [Clearly not possessed by Faeren right now, since she's poking Cloud's side with a grin.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Half today, the rest tomorrow. Maybe the kids can have a couple. Maybe.

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Ten for you, two for the boys. Now what made you go red like that?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

... [Cloud very inconspicuously puts a little distance between them.] ...Zack...told me what, um.

...what the two of you...discussed. About me.

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

...Oh, that does explain it. [fff Zack. No warning for her.]

So, what do you think?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Aerith...Aerith, you two can't be serious. [Somehow it's a lot easier to have this conversation with her rather than Zack.]

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[This is probably because he's been your bff and she hasn't. You're still getting a wry look for that, Cloud.] I love to tease, but I do have a few boundaries.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Pressing a hand to his face now.]

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Cloud... [Have a light tug on that wrist, because it's easier to talk to him if he isn't facepalming at her.] We love you. Both of us.

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Embarrassed, kind of wondering if he should pull away from her.] That's not how these things work. Are supposed to work.

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Why not? What makes it impossible?

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

There's a reason people don't do...do threesomes. People get jealous, and start to hate each other- Aerith, how would I even explain this to the kids?

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Tell me you're not jealous now. Tell me honestly that you're not jealous at all, because that would be a relief. [Ignoring the explanation part, for the moment.]

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Hell yes I'm jealous! Why do you think I leave when the two of you are in the same room together?

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Because you're not being included and--Zack and I, neither of us meant to leave you out, we just didn't know you wanted in! I talk to the Planet, I don't read minds.
