[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?

[Settled on her forearms, she gradually brings her green eyes back onto Fenton with some consideration. Maybe that applies to life back in Midgar, too. And... maybe it can apply to Sephiroth as well.]

Yeah. You're right. Change isn't always easy. I'd like to say that I handle that kind of thing gracefully, but that might not always be true. It's not that I'm comfortable with things staying the same, but I guess I find the same stability when I know what to expect. I'm not sure I'm real great at improvisation.

[doctorintern]

[ He chuckles a little. ] Well, I think everyone enjoys some stability! People are creatures of habit, after all. And sometimes change happens pretty abruptly, so it can be difficult to handle something tremendous very smoothly. But as long as you can be open to the possibilities, you never know what you might come across!

[inemeraldfaith]

That's all true. Only way to get better at handling change is being exposed to it, I think. I like to think that here in Camelot, we get plenty of practise with that. Maybe we should be thankful for the adversity.

[doctorintern]

Well, this might be a bit of an extreme. But I suppose there have been some benefits to coming to a place like this.

Especially getting to meet people you normally wouldn't.

[inemeraldfaith]

That's true. Can't say I've ever met anyone like you before.

[And not just the idea that he's a duck. Aerith's taken all of that in stride, actually, but maybe that's to be expected from her.]

The people where you're from, are they more like you? Or people like me?

[doctorintern]

In terms of appearance? More like me, really. Although there are others, not just Ducks. There are other Birds, and Bears, and Dogs, and Cats...all the like.

I had never even heard of humans until coming here.

[inemeraldfaith]

So... it's all animals?

[Aerith sits on that with consideration.]

I don't think I've really ever met people like you and yours before. The kids talk about moogles, but I'm not sure I've actually seen one before. It's a little hard for me to describe what they're like. Someone I know here has a moogle familiar, though. I think a couple of people might have them as familiars. They look... kind of like cats? Sort of? It's the closest thing I can think of, maybe.

[doctorintern]

Pretty much. I think there are some more common then others, but then I live in a city called "Duckburg", so...

[ His view might be just a touch biased. ]

Moogle? I don't think I've ever heard of that before. [ So probably something unique to her world then. ]
