[It's a flower shop.
It's the flower shop that shows up in every single one of Aerith's video entries to the network.

She's panning her camera over a variety of flowers she has on display at the front window, freshly sprayed and watered.]

♪♫ Happy birthday to meeeeeee ♫♪

[Aerith is not a well-versed singer and thus this is a short-lived experience. She hums the rest of the song to herself and then points to the sign for Don't Stop Be-Leafing.]

If you need flowers for anything, please come on by. I'll be providing them at no cost in celebration!

[In the background, there's the voice of one slightly exasperated sky pirate.]

We've talked about this; we can’t give everything away for free.

[OOC: Feel free to address Balthier. He's what keeps the flower shop up and running normally.]

[inemeraldfaith]

That's probably because I have done things like that in the past. Nothing's stopping me from doing it in the present!

[tantailizing]

Uh oh! Look out world! Aerith will make everyone do good deeds from now on!

[inemeraldfaith]

If it were up to me, everyone would be doing good deeds. But that's actually kind of difficult to convince people to do. You have to be able to push without pushing too hard. The balance is hard if you don't know someone well.

[Which means Aerith doesn't really push people she isn't familiar with.]

[tantailizing]

That's true... I prefer being a little tricky with it, but if your method works, it works!

[Zidane does not hesitate except in certain conditions.]

[inemeraldfaith]

You can push people by being tricky. I'm curious, though, as to how you'd be handling it. I'm also curious as to how successful you are with this so-called trickery of yours.

[tantailizing]

I mean, it works on Bakugou sometimes. Have you met that guy?

[inemeraldfaith]

I haven't. Is he a friend of yours?

[Probably. Maybe. Zidane seems to make friends with everyone he crosses paths with.]

[tantailizing]

Yeah, he is. Good guy, but he can be loud at times so don't mind it too much.

[He likes being friends or some level of acquaintance with everyone.]

[inemeraldfaith]

I don't mind loud people. I'm pretty loud, after all. [Aerith, please.] So he'd be in good company. Any idea if he likes flowers?

[tantailizing]

Believe me, you'll know what I mean when you meet him. [Because there's loud, and then there's Bakugou.]

Hm, y'know, I'm not sure! He doesn't seem like it, but hey, that could be a surprise!

[inemeraldfaith]

Well, if he isn't a fan, he could just damage my flowers and that's not a risk I can take. Maybe not offer him anything like that.

[The thought of anyone hurting her flowers or misusing them does not make her happy in any way, shape, or form.]

How did you meet him? And what do you know about him?

[tantailizing]

That's true, but if he knows it's important to you, he'll take more care.

[Not unless he really dislikes a person. He's not really a prankster type either.]

I met him being attacked by a squirrel!

But really, someone had enchanted the animals to do some... cleaning up around Camelot which included styling hair for some reason. As for what I know about him, that all depends. What kind of person he is, or do you mean what's his favorite hobbies or food kind of things?

[inemeraldfaith]

[...Did he just...

Aerith's expression is transparent. She's heard her fair share of very strange things, but someone being attacked by a squirrel of all things is one of the strangest. Fortunately, Zidane has the good sense to elaborate a little before she can start a pile of her questions on a proverbial floor.]

I get the feeling he wasn't being so much attacked as it was he didn't want his hair messed with.

[That... is something she just might have to ask if she ever meets this guy.]

I was mostly curious about what his personality is like. What kind of feeling you got from him. What kind of person he is.

[tantailizing]

[Gotta admit, best way to get sometimes attention and intrigue~]

I mean, they had it out for him. It wasn't his first grooming that day and since he had undone their work, I'm sure they were just trying to 'fix it' again.

[Zidane would say better not to ask.]

Besides loud? Well, he's confident, pretty willing to fight for his own convictions, and determined. He can be thoughtful too juuust not when you're teasing him too much. I will say he's also pretty bad with his emotions; or more, he covers them up with his temper. If you've met any of those kids that say they're training to be a Hero, he's one of them so he's overall a good guy.

[inemeraldfaith]

See, that's not attacking. They were just doing what they were supposed to do. Those are two completely different things.

[The details don't matter, really. Let grooming squirrels groom! Instead, her attention focuses on what he shares about this guy in question.]

I have actually met kids who are like that. So what I'm hearing is... that he's like an overgrown kid?

[tantailizing]

For him, it sure seemed like an attack.

[And right?? It'd be over without issue!]

An overgrown kid that does take responsibility seriously.

[inemeraldfaith]

[No. She's going to die on this hill. well, not THIS one, but Definitely not an attack. Just squirrels trying to do their squirrel jobs.]

He sounds like a very interesting guy. I'll have to meet him for myself to find out just how responsible he is.

[He doesn't sound responsible at all.]

[tantailizing]

[Please pick a better hill to die on... And yes, they were just doing their job.]

Alright. Have fun making a new friend!

[One that might surprise her.]

[inemeraldfaith]

I will! I'm an expert at that!
Come by for flowers soon, Zidane, or I'm going to bury you in them.

[tantailizing]

Haha! Oh no, guess that means I'll have to come by sooner!
