[This ought to come as no surprise, really. Aerith spends a decent amount of her free time in the flower shop and usually if she appears on Avalon's network, it's there. That's precisely where she is on today's little impromptu Camelot interruption.
Resting on her forearm against front desk counter, she wears a smile, though it's a bit lighter than she normally gives.]
It's been a while since I said anything on here and I realised I should probably fix that. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Aerith. I run a little flower shop here in the business district of the town. I was in the middle of putting a nice little patio setup outside for people who come by, but it's getting a bit colder, so I think that's going to have to be put on hold until it warms up again.
[Taking a pause to sip from the cup of tea at her side, she sets it down before she continues.]
I know I've said this before, but if any of you have flowers or seeds from your home, for whatever reason that you would, if you bring them to me, I'll try to grow you something. I'm also really interested in trying to crossbreed some flowers, especially from anything that might be capable of surviving the colder weather. If you've already purchased flowers from me and you're having trouble with them, you can pay me a visit any time and I'll fix them up for you.
[After a moment's consideration, she sinks down a bit, shifting to settle her chin in the palm of her hand.]
And you know, with the weather getting colder, it's easy to get sick. Make sure you're taking care of yourselves. I don't normally offer this, but I have some healing magic, so if you find yourself not feeling well, I might be able to help you out there. I'm not a doctor or anything, but I like to think I know marginally what I'm doing. At worst, I can make you a nice pot of tea.
[That seems to be all she has to say because not long after, she turns off her video and audio feed.]

[Private to Tifa - Text]
Hey, can I ask you to do a favour for me?
no subject
[Agreement though it is, there's something almost like terseness to the word. Not enough to suggest that she's angry, or unhappy, but enough to make it clear that she has no desire to offer any further information.]
And it is one thing to be familiar with plants. But to know the meanings they hold is another.
[True, she knows what plants are for healing and which can harm. But she has never truly spent a great deal of time learning what meanings humes might assign to them.]
no subject
I guess that's true. I'm sure different worlds have different meanings too, so I actually hesitate to say that people should take me at my word. They'll probably just go back home and find out that the flowers there mean something different. I don't know what the flowers I had sent to you will mean back where you're from, but I do know what they mean where I'm from.
[After a moment's pause, she continues.]
But you don't really strike me as the sort who needs a flower to tell you what you're like.
no subject
[Some may certainly have known. But there had never been time - or much need, either. The skies are theirs; less so, the trappings and fittings of artfully created displays of flowers.]
And not all of that which you sent grow in the woods I have known.
[Still, it's not a condemnation. Just a fact, offered as straightforwardly as any of the rest. But Aerith is right even so: she is not the sort of person to need a flower to tell her who she is and what she's like.]
But they are... appreciated.
no subject
[There's a pause as she's still considering the closeness that Fran and Balthier share.]
If you end up needing any for the future, you should let me know. I'm very happy to hook you up.
no subject
[There's a brief nod with the words; the only real indication that she doesn't mean it unkindly - that she has taken the offer as it has been given, and will keep it in mind.]
