[Aerith... admittedly blankly stares for some moments. She's seen some things, but... Whatever it is Allura has, she has no idea how to describe it.

Is it actually alive? Evidently yes, considering it's capable of learning.]

I've never seen anything like it. It'd be hard to tell what it was thinking or feeling. It almost looks like a small planet.

[And considering planets can definitely feel, Aerith isn't about to call that into question.]

If it's anything like one, then it has plenty of flourish. It just might not be very conventional. Sometimes the least conventional are the most special things.
