[Wow. Aerith has a lot she could say about that. But then, that's something she can relate to. She never had a lot of friends when she was younger either.]

[At the name, Aerith contemplates. Sherry's familiar doesn't look like any kind of frog she's ever seen. Not that the slums have ever really been a 'hot spot' for them.]

Well, do you like that name? And does he, more importantly. If both of you do, I don't see why you can't use it.
