[Aerith is holding her hand over the camera lens and at first only the sound of her footsteps can be heard.]

Hello Camelotians! I know I've been a little quiet lately, but guess what I've been working hard on?

[As she lifts her hands, she's panning the view behind her, which is a seemingly simple (but pleasant) looking shop.]

Ta-dah—I'm open for business! [A pause as she laughs.] My shop is open for business. [Because she knows how that can be taken.] I know I've talked about this for a bit and that I was working toward it and there were quite a few of you who offered to help me out. If you don't mind dropping me a line, we'll work out the details, okay? No rush, though!

[Settling herself behind her counter, she leans onto it thoughtfully, phone still in hand.]

Even if you don't get anything, I'd be happy for the company. I'm pretty sure I'll be spending most of my time here now!

It's lovely, Lady Aerith, I would still very much like to work alongside you, if that is still something that is amiable to you?

[inemeraldfaith]

I'd love this! You're welcome anytime. I'm sure I've got some extra room in here too if you wanted to sell some of your own things.

[beautyrest]

Well, I do have some salves and creams and even some jams and teas already made. If it is to a troublesome matter, I would not be opposed to selling them at the store.

Alright! Congrats, Aerith! How's it feel to have your very own shop??

[inemeraldfaith]

Thanks!

[Aerith thumbs at her chin in thought before she continues.]

I actually always wanted to do this back home, so being able to do it here is nice. I'm hoping it'll give me a good opportunity to work more with the locals, too.

[Well, she had made it quite clear she knew her flowers. What better business to go into?]

You have been busy. Congratulations; starting a business of any sort is no easy task. I'm not one for gardening, but I'll stop by all the same.

[inemeraldfaith]

I don't think I'm much of a businesswoman, but I'm sure we'll find out. As for gardening... it's never too late to start. I could teach you a bit more if you were interested.

Oh wow! Setting up your own shop is a major achievement! Congratulations!

[inemeraldfaith]

Thanks! If Meadowbell ever wants to see lots of flowers, she's welcome to. I think she'd probably like it a lot. And eventually, I'd like to have a little section where people can just sit and relax, I think.

Congratulations. Did you work with flowers in your own world too?

[inemeraldfaith]

Thanks! That's right. Maybe not on a professional level, but I grew flowers back home and did a little selling. It wasn't anything like this, though.

[patchricide]

Congratulations! And I hope you see great success from it.

It's a lovely shop, too. I think the prospect of stopping by to see all the flowers is even more delightful than the thought of taking a few home.

[inemeraldfaith]

Thanks!

I was just telling someone else that I was hoping to eventually have a little section of people to just relax. I really love being around plants and I find it pretty calming, so others might feel the same way.

It looks great, Aerith! I'm surprised you put it together so fast!

[ It's so Aerith, too. She can't help but chuckle at the cute pun. ]

If you need extra hands on deck, you know you can ask me for help. I'm still getting things in order to open a bar here one day, but in the meantime, I don't mind learning a thing or two about flower maintenance.

[inemeraldfaith]

Was it really that fast? It sure doesn't feel like it was very quick. [But then Aerith hasn't been especially great at keeping track of time. Not that time is necessarily irrelevant, but Aerith has disliked having much in the way of idle moments. Time goes faster when she's keeping herself preoccupied.]

Of course I was planning on having you come in on some days and help. Or just keep me company, whichever you might prefer. Besides, we can use some of the money to help you get your bar.

[Wasn't that kind of what she had planned all along? She wanted to help make money, so she and Tifa could have some nice things. Trying to find a way to comfort Tifa in this world they've come to has been something of a driving force for the flower girl.]

Well, if it ain't the pretty miss from the archive.

[His voice is a bit rougher now that's it's back to its usual aged timbre... but hopefully it's still recognizable.]

You do larger orders? Got a business of my own that could do with sprucing up.

[inemeraldfaith]

[Something about him sounds a little different, but Aerith can't pinpoint exactly what it is. But he says archive and she knows exactly who he is.

Rei, right?]

Larger orders, hm...? I'm sure I could put something together for you. Was there something in particular that you were thinking? Like a colour or a theme? [Because flowers are never just flowers.]

[emet_sulk]

Congratulations. Did the flowers you gathered from the dragonets' field help?

I am so late because of my hiatus, so we can handwave if you want.

[inemeraldfaith]

[Oh. She knows exactly who this is.
Recognising his name on the network certainly helps.]

It did! You should come by sometime. Maybe you'll have some ideas on how I can make it feel a little more cosy. Not that it isn't right now, but it still feels a little empty to me.

congratulations aerith
i'll tell uncle about your shop too so he can give you his business
do you need any signage or anything made? i can do calligraphy

[ Tit for tat. Zuko doesn't like having unpaid debts of kindness. ]

Hiatus late, but I'm touching this anyway!

[inemeraldfaith]

Signage...?

[That's actually a fantastic idea. It'd be better than whatever silly doodles Aerith probably has sitting outside right now.]

I'd love that, actually. Do you think I could watch? I've never seen anyone do calligraphy before.

Ah! That's wonderful! Congratulations! I have this same Green Magic here too. I wouldn't mind coming to help out if you needed a hand? To practice a little more. I'm still figuring it a little in only more recently figuring this ability on top of my Light Magic here.

[But she sure does look thrilled for Aerith as she claps her hands together and grins.]

V late. (I've been on hiatus; We can handwave if need be.)

[inemeraldfaith]

[Green magic...
Aerith wonders if she means the same thing Makoto had been speaking to her on.]

I'd love the extra help, actually. If you don't mind working with flowers, I'd be more than happy to have you along. The company would be nice, too.

[A flower shop? He wouldn't mind.]

You're taking volunteers?

Apologies for making you wait. (I was on hiatus and I'm just now putting my pieces back together.)

[inemeraldfaith]

I am! No previous experience required. If you're afraid you don't know anything about flowers, I'm sure I can help you out with anything you might need to know.

[Honestly, the support for her shop is a little surprising. She's not realised people would be so interested.

It's... nice.]
