Current mood:

excited

( &who; ) Marlene, Aerith [&] Cloud
( &where; ) Faeyn Realm - Marlene's little house
( &when; ) Shortly after them speaking to one another
( &what; ) Meeting up! ♥
( &warning(s); ) Iiii, really don't think so. :P ♥

This place wasn't so bad after all, at least not yet it wasn't. There were hundreds of flowers for the small child to play in, and pick for decor for the shabby little home she'd found and taken over as her own. The only rotten part she'd thought of just yet was the fact that she had to be dead in order to be in this area. Still, there didn't seem to be any monsters like there were in Edge, or Midgar for that matter, and everything seemed rather peaceful all around her. She'd already come in contact with a ladybug creature that was nearly the same size as herself, and a small pixie-like faerie being - which she'd simply thought was rather pretty and friendly. Now though, she remained in the small patch of yellow flowers nearby the house she'd settled in. It was the only patch of yellow flowers she'd seen for miles and miles, they were normally pink or purple and occasionally white.

Containing her excitement to see Aerith once more was something quite difficult for Marlene to do, really. She'd missed the woman she had once called 'big sis' dearly and in fact she had been one of the first people to cross Marlene's mind when she'd arrived in the Realm of the Dead. Not a day would go by that none of the people in their little group did not think of Aerith, in fact they'd begun sporting little pink strings on various areas of their bodies to continue remembering her - Marlene's was a large ribbon in her hair that was she thrilled to have no lost in her death. Though a grim subject for the child, she seemed to have already accepted it - or so it would seem. Humming a tune she was making up as she went along with it, Marlene played her fingers over the soft petals from where she sat. Soon she'd see the Cetra girl once more, and Cloud had said he'd finally found the flowers as well - maybe things were looking up after all.

There was an endless sea of flowers around her and yet she could never get tired of them. Aerith knew she had been in this place for quite a long time, but just how long was lost to her. The ticking of a clock was hardly needed in a place like this, and Aerith could understand why. At first she briefly wondered if it had been only a few days for them, or if it had been years. She hoped that they kept safe, took care of themselves when she couldn't, if they were able to continue fighting on. The thoughts had been silly and after so long they left her mind completely. But now... Now, they were beginning to appear in this place. Aerith would have been able to understand if it were only Cloud, even Vincent made sense to some degree, but Marlene was so young. It saddened her to know of the girls arrival, however she was certain that she didn't want to know how it came to be. That would only upset her more.

Aerith carefully walked around several patches of flowers, her brown boots barely making a sound against the dirt with each step. It felt like she was taking forever and the eternity of it all was itching uncomfortably at the back of her mind. I guess it's a good thing I can't die from exhaustion! The humorous thought made her giggle, despite the circumstances, and Aerith pushed herself on to trek over a small hill of pink flowers. She came to a restful halt at the top and used the opportunity to look around. Flowers for as far as she could see, but only a short distance away stood a small house by a garden of yellow that definitely stood out like a sore thumb. A satisfied smile spread across her lips and she hurried to where the girl was spotted in the patch of yellow.

Once close enough, Aerith slowed and eventually stopped to stand beside her. The flower girl leaned over, her hands resting on her knees as her long twist of hair fell over her shoulder. "I told you I'd find you!"

	"Sorry... I keep screwing things up." Cloud said, blinking back tears at the two, seeing their faces again brought so much regret to the surface. If only he had been stronger, things wouldn't have turned out like this. "It's my own fault, but it would have happened in the end... right? S-so... don't be sad because of me."
