[ For the moment, she doesn't have much of an idea of what to grow other than flowers, maybe a few crops here and there, but that on its own is still too vague. If she asks everyone else, maybe that'll give her an idea! ]

Bit of a weird question I guess, but what would you say is your favorite flower? It doesn't have to be a flower either. Any plant will do. [ She pauses, suddenly considering something. ] As long as it isn't poisonous, I guess.

[ Last thing she needs is to grow poison ivy or something. She can already spot some of that on a tree not far away. ]

[action]

[ Like many new farmers, Aerith's first task is to take to her field and clean it up. It's not something she'd complain about aloud, but the chore is still, well, just that. A chore. She'd rather not do it at all, especially with all the rocks littering the way. It seems like every time she turns around, there's another rock! Or a twig.

Or, in the case of her newest find, an entire downed log. Good lord, how long has that been there?

Yeah, she'll definitely have to get some help from one of her neighbors. But that's not so much of a problem! If anything, she welcomes the temporary reprieve and takes to the road back to town to see if she can catch the attention of a passerby. ]

Hey there, would you mind helping me out a bit at my lot? I don't have much to pay you with for the moment, but I can make you tea or something like that.

[Needing help? Well, good news because the attention of one huge bull-looking dude with a lot of fluff has been caught!]

Okay... [He lumbers over until he's close enough to talk to her, but not so much that he's right up in her face.] Help with...?

[ Hopefully he can forgive her for staring. She's never seen someone as tall as him before that wasn't, well, a monster. Or a summon. She doesn't want to go and assume he's either of those though, god forbid. Instead, she just grins up at him with a little wave. ]

I need some big logs and things moved off my field. They'd probably be no problem for you, huh?

My favorite flower? Mm- [Weiss taps her chin for a moment.] I quite rather like lilies! They look graceful and elegant, though blue roses are starting to get up there too.

Why do you ask?

Just something to help me kickstart some ideas. Where I used to live, flowers and plants were luxuries. I could only ever grow one specific kind of flower in a single place.

But this place is the opposite of that! [ Which is a good thing! Although, sometimes she still feels that strange pull from the sky like it wants to draw her into the endless blue. But that's just her imagination, right? ] So if I really wanted to, I could probably plant just about any kind of flower.

Pot marigold. [Followed, of course, but an instant diminishment of confidence.] They're not much to look at, but-- they're very useful.

Marigolds, huh? I think I read about them before. They're a very cute orange, aren't they? The book I had didn't really explain what all you can use with them, though.

Peonies!!

[ There's no hesitation in that; the answer comes loud and clear almost before the clarification is finished. ]

The pink ones are the best, but I like the white ones too... ah, and there's also these really nice orange-cream ones, those are good too! And then red, and sometimes they're yellow, and--

[ And basically, every peony color that she can remember ever seeing. ]

[ That kind of fervor for flowers is infectious. She can't help feeling she has to plant some peonies now. How could she not? ]

Sounds like they're pretty good to have no matter what color you find. I'll keep on the lookout for sure!

I've long been partial to carnations for their appearance. But for smell, perhaps lilacs.

Now my turn. What is your favorite fruit?

[Hey if they're going to play getting to know you questions, she might as well go with the ones that'll be useful to a woman getting an orchard up and running.]

[ Carnations and lilacs? One that's pretty and one that smells great. Definitely works for her! ]

Favorite fruit? Hmm... [ Midgar isn't exactly the place to have any kind of greenery, let alone actual trees. Fruit's a little hard to come by, and her memory isn't too keen on remembering the last time she even had any. ] You can't really go wrong with apples, I suppose. I hear oranges are delicious and leave your house smelling nice too!

[ While she was heading to town, however, she would see the giant sheep-like Esper - eyeing her. Something... felt familiar, but not? A soft huff came from the beast, trying to be polite as always. ] I may offer my assistance.

...But what for?

[ She can't put her finger on his familiarity either. He gives off a similar air like...materia? No, that can't be right. Maybe he has some kind of magic and that's why it feels the same? She can't tell, and trying to parse it out now while talking to him just seems rude. ]

Weeeelll...it's nothing too crazy. I can't really move these big rocks and logs by myself. [ She laughs a little and holds up one arm to flex it. Not a lot of good that does, though, since her arm's still pretty thin even with what modest muscle she has. ] I mean, I tried, but I could only move them a little.

Sunflowers!

[ Hello yes, I would love to share my favorite flowers with you!!!! ]

And Tiger Lillies! But mostly sunflowers. Oh goodness, they get so tall and big, and in the breeze, they wave at you! I could never grow them on my balconey, but oh I wish I could...

[ YOU CAN NOW RAPUNZEL... ]

[ It can't be see, but she nods along as she speaks and tries to recall the images of those flowers. Tiger lilies sound to her like they wouldn't be too far off from the yellow and white ones in the church, but sunflowers...she's certain she's seen those before, especially if they're as big as she says. ]

If you're living here, can't you grow them now? You could have a whole field of them!

[ Ceci does a double-take, blinking repeatedly. ]

Aerith?

[ She waits for a hint of recognition on the other's face; when none comes, she sighs softly. ]

Sorry. I... I knew an Aerith, before. She looked and talked exactly like you, but well, you know, the whole alternate universes thing.

[ Puzzled as she is, Aerith doesn't let it show on her face for too long. The fact that so many people can come from different worlds, so to speak, is still hard for her to wrap her head around. But then, she supposes it's only about as strange as her communicating with the Planet itself.

She breaks into a smile to break up the uneasy silence. ]

Hmm...you don't seem familiar, but you do certainly seem like someone who'd be nice to know.

I've heard stranger questions than favorite plant or flower.

[It's actually rather tame, in his opinion.]

There's a wildflower that grows back where I'm from that grows out in the Sorlian badlands. Don't know what it's officially called, but most people call it a Daring Blue. It's this blue flower that somehow adapted to live in a dry, arid climate. I guess that'd be my favorite if I to pick one, if only because its reputation for durability and survival.

[And after giving his more serious answer, he smiles a little wryly as he continues.]

Favorite plant, though? I'd say barley, hops, and coffee beans.

[ He almost sounded normal there til the end. I mean c'mon, barley, hops, and coffee beans? In that order? ]

...sounds like you're an alcoholic.

[Hi Aerith, there's a both with bandages around one eye watching her. Flower stores, wild flowers, they had been common enough in Riverview. He'd had a garden and a greenhouse back in England but...]

I like Sterling Roses. I haven't seen any since I left England.

Sterling Roses, huh? Do those come in any particular colors? If they ever have any up for sale, they sound like they'd be really pretty.

[ this particular passerby—a tall, broad-shouldered woman in a ruffled hoodie, with ribbons tied into her hair—blinks at her a couple of times, an odd expression like she's trying to place where she's seen the other woman before crossing her face—

—right up until Aerith mentions tea, anyway. ]

Ah— tea would be fine. [ she chuckles, a little sheepish. ] I would be happy to help regardless, to tell you the truth, but I do have a weakness for tea.

[ She holds her hands on her hips, a bright smile spreading further across her face. ]

Glad to hear it! I don't really need a lot done anyway. Just some rocks and things moved out of the way of the field. [ She pauses, figuring she should at least be a little polite. ] What's your name, by the way?

Heh. The symbol of passionate love, of course... the lovely rose. Only the snowbell can match it.

Ohhh? I know what a rose looks like, but I don't think I've ever seen a snowbell. What do they look like?

[Looking up at the sweet sounding voice, Barret took a double take.]

Aerith! Shucks y'all, I was wonderin' if you were gonna show up honey. Sure, I'll help you, whatcha all need?

[ It goes without saying that a familiar face has her own lighting up. And here she thought she'd be on her own in a strange place! At least, until she got to know people. ]

Hey Barret, you think you could help me move some rocks and logs off my field? They're in the way, and it'd take me a while to get it all done myself.

[ If by "a while," she meant "literal weeks because these arms are for swinging a polearm, not an axe," of course. ]

My favorite? Oh, I'm not sure how to choose! That's probably how I ended up with all of these, heehee...

[She directs the camera to her farm, which is covered with all different kinds of flowers.]

Edited 2018-07-13 03:16 (UTC)

[ Okay now that's funny. And she can relate! Pretty much how she figures her own foray into farming will go. ]

You know what? I completely understand.
