[Action / Voice]

Hey Papa! And everyone at home, I guess... I found a couch outside, and it's really, really comfy! And you can bounce on it! I dunno why it's outside though... it feels nice... who would leave a nice couch like this?

A-anyway! Can we keep it? It can fit inside, right?

Maybe we could get Uncle Zack to sit with us in the living room so he's not stuck in his bed all the time?

[Simon is referring to this monstrosity, left oh-so-kindly by the road near their house in this thread. Since he's blind, he cannot see it. So. Yes. :|]

I wonder what he'll think of it! [assuming he reacts at all, of course.]

[Rocking, rocking, rocking~] I bet he'll think it's the best couch ever too!

Maybe. We'll have to see what he says~

Uh-huh! I hope he's talking...

He will be. If not now, then very soon. We'll be wondering where all the quiet went!

You know Uncle Zack really well, huh?

I think I do! We saw each other a lot when we were teenagers.

Saw each other? Didn't you talk? [WHAT TO MISS THE POINT, CHILD.]

[Hahaha, Simon, y so cute. Aerith's giggling.]

We talked a lot! We even went on a few dates--once I made sure Zack was cootie-free, of course.

Dates? Is Uncle Zack your boyfriend!?

He was. Worried I have cooties? I won't give Zack any.

If you had cooties I wouldn't sit with you. [He can tease too, Aerith ♥] How come he's not anymore?

That's very smart of you. [♥]

[She pauses a bit before answering, wondering what to say.] ...We couldn't visit each other for a while. A long time.

[Oh snap, sensing drama. Also, kids ask 20 million questions orz.] Did he get lost?

[oshi drama. ...Aerith figures "lost" is a pretty good description for what happened without requiring a ton of elaboration. Also, lowering her voice a bit because once again, "oshi drama" and on the off-chance that Zack is aware at all right now, she doesn't want to bring up this in his mind.] Yeah. I couldn't call him, and the letters I wrote didn't get to him. ...And he couldn't reach me, either.

[Aww, Aerith. He can hear that tone.] Oh... I'm sorry. I guess I shouldn't ask, huh...

[She ruffles his hair.] Don't worry. It was a while ago. [...well, it started a while ago.] And we can talk to each other here!

If you can talk here, then why isn't he your boyfriend again? [Because relationships are totally that simple.]

[She wishes.] ...we were teenagers back then. People change, and-- [No, too awkward. And besides, that's not really the reason for her.]

...Hey, Simon? The last time I was here, did me and Uncle Zack talk a lot?

Oh. [Was that a dodge? That was so a dodge. Thankfully it went right over Simon's head.] Um.... not really. You came over sometimes, and you were kinda the same, but you were different too, I guess? I dunno what it was. Uncle Zack said you were from really far in the future, like when Papa's from, and a lot had probably changed. Uncle Zack acted different around you than he does now.

[When Cloud was from...she was dead. Death certainly was one of those life-changing events, but the thought that she might change a lot made her feel uncomfortable. How would she change? The Temple of the Ancients--she'd been able to communicate with them, but they'd been so different.]

It must be strange for you guys.

It was a little weird, yeah. Sometimes I didn't really know if you liked us anymore. But you always smiled, so...

[...From the mouths of babes. Ow. Even though Aerith doesn't know Simon that well yet, she knows he's a good kid--and an adorable one--and she doesn't want him feeling like she's indifferent to him.]

I definitely like you, and Denzel, and Zack and Cloud.

[S-sorry ;_; Don't feel bad, Aerith, he has a bad fear of abandonment is all.]

We like you too! And we want you to stay, if you like it here with us. We get scared of losing people sometimes, so...

[She can imagine. Especially in a place like this, where people disappear with no warning. She squeezes the hug a little.]

Then it looks like I'll have to stay here! So you know I'm perfectly fine.
