Rufus Shinra wakes up and fells Hana's arms around him... and blinks

Hana has a sweet smile on her face... as if she couldn't be happier

Rufus Shinra moves his head so he can look at Hana with his one eye

Rufus Shinra says, "Hana?"

Hana says, "mm?"

Rufus Shinra says, "um.... Why are you... um.... In my bed?"

Hana says, "I'm sorry... I fell asleep here"

Hana sighs and stands up

Hana . o O ( he isn't the least bit interested in me.. time to move on )

Rufus Shinra says, "it's ok I guess"

Rufus Shinra runs his fingers through his hair

Rufus Shinra says, "I've never been in bed with a woman before though..."

Hana . o O ( he's not like us... although he bears our blood... he does not know our ways... why do we bother? )

Rufus Shinra sighs and leans against the wall

Hana says, "So... when do you leave for Midgar"

Rufus Shinra says, "eager to get rid of me now?"

Hana says, "no.. I just know no matter what I say... you will go"

Rufus Shinra says, "I didn't say that..."

Hana says, "I know you Rufus.. you are stubborn to the end"

Rufus Shinra closes his eye

Rufus Shinra says, "oddly... this is one of the few nights I have not been plagued by bad dreams"

Hana says, "oh?"

Rufus Shinra nods

Rufus Shinra says, "I usually can't sleep... that's why my eye is always rimmed with back"

Hana says, "Well... Im glad you slept well"

Rufus Shinra sighs

Hana says, "What's wrong now?"

Rufus Shinra says, "Hana... do you have any idea what it's like to have so much hate inside?"

Hana . o O ( Such a pity... if you had been raised with any knowledge of your people... you'd be able to leave your past behind... no matter how painful )

Rufus Shinra sighs

Rufus Shinra says, "I suppose not"

Rufus Shinra flicks back his bang and stands up

Hana says, "want me to re-braid your hair?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes please"

Hana picks up a comb off of the dresser and sets about re-braiding Rufus' hair

Rufus Shinra says, "thank you"

Hana says, "There you go..."

Rufus Shinra opens his eye and smiles slightly

Hana says, "If only you'd do that more often"

Rufus Shinra says, "smile?"

Hana says, "yes. You look so much cuter when you smile"

Rufus Shinra chuckles a little

Rufus Shinra says, "do I?"

Hana says, "Yes... you do"

Rufus Shinra says, "I thought my eye patch screwed that up..."

Hana says, "not at all... your inner light shines out when you smile"

Rufus Shinra says, "didn't know I had an Inner Light... thank you"

Hana says, "All of us do.... even the most evil... but the darkness in their soul shields it from ever being seen. Your sadness... hoods the light.. so nobody can see..."

Rufus Shinra sighs

Rufus Shinra says, "how can I not be sad? I've been through so much"

Hana says, "You have to learn to deal with your past... no matter how painful"

Rufus Shinra says, "how though?"

Hana says, "Focus on the here and now. The past means nothing... its gone and can not be changed"

Rufus Shinra says, "what is here now? He's still alive and doing horrible things..."

Hana says, "here and now is the people you said you would help"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes... even if it means my life... I will stop him to free everyone"

Hana nods sadly

Hana . o O ( he still doesn't see... still doesn't care... Hana give up )

Rufus Shinra sighs to himself and walks to the maps

Hana says, "Shall I leave you alone?"

Rufus Shinra says, "only if you want..."

Hana says, "I don't want to..."

Rufus Shinra says, "you want to stay then?"

Hana nods

Rufus Shinra says, "then stay.... two heads are better then one... right?"

Hana says, "yes... as always"

Rufus Shinra nods

Rufus Shinra says, "come over here then... we can study the maps"

Hana moves over to the maps

Hana says, "how are you going to get in?"

Rufus Shinra says, "well... here is good"

Rufus Shinra points at a section

Hana says, "How do you propose to get up there?"

Rufus Shinra says, "ropes..."

Rufus Shinra touches his eye patch

Hana says, "Wings would be better.... "

Rufus Shinra says, "I don't have wings..."

Hana says, "Perhaps we can arrange for a transport"

Rufus Shinra says, "perhaps"

Hana says, "Im sure one of our mages could summon a griffin... or some other flying beast"

Rufus Shinra nods

Rufus Shinra says, "perhaps"

Hana says, "Do you want a diversion?"

Rufus Shinra says, "I don't want to risk more life then is needed"

Hana says, "We can use shadow creatures or illusions"

Rufus Shinra says, "good point"

Rufus Shinra walks over to his desk and grabs something from a drawer

Hana says, "What's that?"

Rufus Shinra says, "what's what?"

Hana points at the chain poking out from beneath some scrolls

Rufus Shinra says, "oh... something of my moms"

Hana says, "It looks like a Clan totem.. may I see?"

Rufus Shinra says, "sure"

Rufus Shinra takes it out of the desk and tosses it to her

Hana examines the totem

Hana says, "You are of the dragon Clan..."

Rufus Shinra looks back to her

Rufus Shinra says, "huh?"

Hana says, "A small clan... that has the ability to shift into a small dragon..."

Rufus Shinra says, "..............."

Rufus Shinra gives her a blank look

Hana flips the totem over

Hana says, "see here?"

Hana points to some runes

Rufus Shinra goes to her and looks

Hana says, "you chant this incantation and you can shift"

Rufus Shinra takes it from her and looks it over

Hana says, "You do know how to read elvish runes don't you?"

Rufus Shinra says, "a little"

Rufus Shinra looks them over carefully... sounding them out in his head

Rufus Shinra says, "I can read... but not really understand..."

Hana says, "If you are going to try it... outside. You'll be about the size of a small horse"

Rufus Shinra says, "hmmm"

Rufus Shinra walks outside

Cloud Strife is outside.... exercising his wings and body

Rufus Shinra looks up at Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "what are you up to?"

Cloud Strife says, "Exercising so I can fly..... they need to be strong"

Rufus Shinra looks at the runes

Rufus Shinra says, "I'll join you then..."

Rufus Shinra takes off his coat and tunic... reviling the network of scaring across his body

Cloud Strife says, "Ouch... did you fall in a combine?"

Rufus Shinra says, "my father did this to me"

Cloud Strife says, "Really?"

Rufus Shinra nods

Cloud Strife sighs

Cloud Strife says, "Such a monster. Reno and I are leaving soon"

Rufus Shinra says, "you are?"

Cloud Strife says, "I have to go back home"

Cloud Strife sighs again

Rufus Shinra nods

Cloud Strife says, "I have to marry and start a family... I really don't want to though"

Rufus Shinra says, "we all have to do something... I have to go back home and kill my father"

Rufus Shinra starts to chant the runes

Cloud Strife watches.... surprised when Rufus starts to glow

Rufus Shinra finishes reading the runes as he slips the chain around his neck

Cloud Strife folds his wings against his back and watches

Rufus Shinra feels himself start to change shape and takes off his eye patch as well so he doesn't wreck it... reveling scar damage and the lack of a left eye

Cloud Strife blinks

Rufus Shinra takes off his boots and pants too before his transformation rips them

Cloud Strife thinks to himself that Rufus is rather good looking..... but reminds himself that his hormones are now in overdrive because of his change

Rufus Shinra lets out a rather large roar as his transformation is complete

Cloud Strife says, "Wow"

Cloud Strife walks around Rufus... examining his new form

Rufus Shinra sways his tail and turns his head... his one eye looking at Cloud

Reno runs out of the cave after hearing the roar and stares wide eyed at the dragon

Cloud Strife is standing a few feet away from the dragon... calmly contemplating it

Reno says, "what the hell is going on??"

Rufus Shinra continues to watch Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "Its kinda Neat Reno"

Reno says, "what's neat?"

Cloud Strife says, "This dragon.... "

Reno says, "um.... ok.... but... uh... dragons are dangerous"

Cloud Strife says, "Well... its not a regular dragon"

Reno says, "what is it then?"

Cloud Strife says, "that one eyed bandit... Rufus... I think his name was"

Reno says, "huh?"

Cloud Strife says, "He appears to be a shifter"

Rufus Shinra chuckles and sits down folding and spreading his wings

Reno says, "um.... ok... uh, this has got me freaked now.,.. and I think I'm going off to feed...."

Cloud Strife says, "Don't forget my clothes..."

Reno says, "I won't"

Reno runs off

Cloud Strife says, "Want to practice flying with me? "

Rufus Shinra nods

Cloud Strife says, "I have to get a gliding start... I can't lift off. We can play tag... that way we'll learn precise movements"

Rufus Shinra flaps his wings... trying to get lift... then stands up and walks around a bit

Cloud Strife climbs up into a watch platform and glides off... lazily flapping upwards. circles

Cloud Strife says, "having problems?"

Rufus Shinra looks up at Cloud and nods

Cloud Strife says, "Maybe they don't work.. only vestigial"

Rufus Shinra spreads his wings out and flaps hard... getting a little lift. flaps up into the air and joins Cloud there

Cloud Strife says, "Cool... if you get tired... land... cuz you don't wanna fall... Don't tell Reno but I've crashed a few times already...."

Rufus Shinra starts to circle around Cloud

Cloud Strife tries to keep up with Rufus' circling...

Cloud Strife says, "you're getting me dizzy"

Rufus Shinra whaps Cloud gently with his tail and starts to fly away

Cloud Strife says, "Oh... I guess I'm it. You're prolly faster... but Im more maneuverable"

Cloud Strife flaps hard.... beginning to climb

Aeris Gainsborough walks through the woods... spotting the cave and wondering why some cloths are strewn about outside

Cloud Strife suddenly drops out of the cloudbank right beside Rufus... and tags his shoulder

Hana walks out of the cave and begins gathering Rufus' clothes

Hana says, "He could have at least folded them"

Rufus Shinra whips around and chases Cloud

Aeris Gainsborough spots Hana and walks to her

Aeris Gainsborough says, "hello... I am Aeris of Nibelheim"

Cloud Strife squeaks and tries to climb back up into the cloudbank

Hana looks at Aeris

Hana says, "Nibelheim?"

Aeris Gainsborough nods

Hana says, "What is your business here"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you've heard of it? I'm looking for my betroved... the prince"

Hana says, "?"

Rufus Shinra flies after Cloud ... getting himself lost in the clouds

Cloud Strife drops down beside Rufus again and teases him

Hana says, "The prince? He was here earlier.... I think he may be up there"

Rufus Shinra whaps Cloud with his tail and hides back in the Clouds

Hana points up

Cloud Strife says, "Gah"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh... then.. um.. you know"

Aeris Gainsborough takes off her cloak... letting her wings stretch out

Hana says, "Well... he did start to change right in front of us... it couldn't be helped. Wow.... are.. you of the Royal family as well?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'm going to marry Cloud... I am his Fiancée..."

Cloud Strife drifts through the clouds... searching for Rufus

Rufus Shinra breathes a jet of flame behind Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "YIKE! Hey... watch it ... you almost singed my feathers1"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles politely

Aeris Gainsborough says, "is this an elven dwelling?"

Hana says, "Well... not a typical one... but yes... elves live here"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I've not known many elves... just some pixies"

Hana says, "Are there many elves in Nibel?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "not really... our capital is by the mountains"

Cloud Strife says, "Rufus... I gotta land.... going down"

Rufus Shinra flies out around Cloud and nods

Cloud Strife folds his wings and drops like a rock

Rufus Shinra folds his wings and dives as well

Cloud Strife spreads his wings at the last moment and catches himself... but still makes a clumsy landing

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ohh.. Cloud!"

Cloud Strife blinks

Rufus Shinra folds next to Hana and looks at her

Cloud Strife stands up and folds his wings

Aeris Gainsborough says, "ohh... a dragon! "

Aeris Gainsborough smiles at Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "I guess this means... my vacation is over...."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I suppose so..... does that upset you?"

Aeris Gainsborough walks over to him

Cloud Strife nods

Aeris Gainsborough says, "then why does it have to be over"

Cloud Strife says, "I have to go back..."

Rufus Shinra sniffs at Hana

Aeris Gainsborough sighs

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I suppose that is true... then we will be married"

Hana says, "You can shift back with the same incantation Rufus"

Cloud Strife says, "I don't want to be married"

Rufus Shinra nods and mumbles it

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh..."

Aeris Gainsborough hangs her head and sighs

Cloud Strife says, "300 years isn't enough time to see all I wanted to see"

Rufus Shinra shifts back and reaches for his clothing

Cloud Strife . o O ( Like what's under Reno's clothes... )

Aeris Gainsborough says, "that's more then some other races Cloud"

Aeris Gainsborough sighs and sits down

Cloud Strife says, "I guess..."

Rufus Shinra pulls on his clothing and looks at Hana... after fixing his eye patch

Cloud Strife says, "Its just that I don't even know you.... "

Aeris Gainsborough says, "then get to know me"

Hana says, "did you have fun Rufus?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yeah... never thought I'd be up in the sky"

Cloud Strife says, "I guess I gotta..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "please come talk to me"

Cloud Strife says, "Alright. you wanna go for a walk?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "sure"

Aeris Gainsborough pulls back on her cloak. gets to her feet and smiles at Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "You don't gotta wear that thing.."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "\it's proper though..."

Cloud Strife sighs

Cloud Strife says, "I like my wings... I don't wanna hide em"

Cloud Strife starts to walk

Aeris Gainsborough walks with Cloud

Rufus Shinra looks at Hana

Rufus Shinra says, "thank you for pointing that out to me"

Hana says, "You are welcome. You are a bit smaller than you should be though... and not as well plated... because of your human blood... but you can still shift"

Cloud Strife says, "So what you wanna talk about?"

Rufus Shinra nods

Rufus Shinra says, "I know"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "well... what are your interests?"

Cloud Strife says, "Being free..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "what do you mean?"

Rufus Shinra sits down on a rock

Cloud Strife says, "I like to explore... I don't wanna be locked in a castle"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh.... I like to plant flowers"

Cloud Strife says, "How often do you get to fly?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "When I'm in my garden"

Cloud Strife sighs

Cloud Strife says, "Limits..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "what do you mean?"

Cloud Strife says, "They really let you leave the castle to find me?"

Rufus Shinra looks up at Hana with his single eye

Aeris Gainsborough grins

Aeris Gainsborough says, "no... but I had to come anyway"

Cloud Strife says, "Why?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "because we are to be married"

Hana says, "You hungry? Shifting will make you hungry sometimes"

Cloud Strife says, "Do you really care about me?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes... I'm hungry... and shifting gives me an idea"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yes... I do care"

Cloud Strife says, "Why?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "because you are obviously a fun loving guy"

Cloud Strife says, "like I'm gonna have time for that anymore"

Rufus Shinra stands up

Rufus Shinra says, "let's get some food then"

Cloud Strife picks his wing out of a thorn bush

Aeris Gainsborough says, "well... we can find something to do"

Hana says, "Alright... I have some stew going. I figured you'd be hungry so I started something"

Rufus Shinra says, "Thank you Hana"

Hana says, "You are welcome Rufus"

Cloud Strife stops in a small clearing and sits down on a fallen log

Cloud Strife says, "The forests back home are prettier"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yes... and larger"

Aeris Gainsborough sits next to him

Aeris Gainsborough says, "the poor elves here are practically homeless"

Cloud Strife nods

Cloud Strife says, "but they do not want our help.... because father will put an extension of our government here.... not let them rule themselves"

Aeris Gainsborough nods sadly

Aeris Gainsborough says, "who's in charge of these elves?"

Cloud Strife says, "A half elf... by the name of Rufus... he was the dragon you saw earlier"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "half-elf shifter?"

Cloud Strife says, "yes"

Rufus Shinra goes over to Hana

Aeris Gainsborough says, "how very strange"

Hana dishes something for Rufus out

Rufus Shinra says, "thank you"

Rufus Shinra takes it and starts to eat

Cloud Strife sighs

Rufus Shinra says, "when I was little I didn't get fed very often"

Cloud Strife says, "I don't want to go back to Nibel"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "but why?"

Cloud Strife says, "Its boring there..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "well... cheer it up then"

Cloud Strife says, "First thing... the cloaks have to go..."

Cloud Strife removes Aeris' cloak and tosses it away

Aeris Gainsborough blinks

Hana says, "is it good?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "but... we need it to get him"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes.. thank you"

Rufus Shinra sits down

Cloud Strife says, "If we wanted to we could fly home.... why walk when you have wings?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "we would get tired as we fly over the water... and might drown"

Cloud Strife says, "Hrmph.... you just need to exercise more"

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm formulating new plans now... using fire and flying"

Hana says, "You think you'll survive?"

Cloud Strife flexes his wings

Rufus Shinra says, "probably"

Aeris Gainsborough stretches hers

Hana smiles

Hana says, "Now did I tell you something would come up?"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes... you did"

Hana says, "You have to learn..."

Cloud Strife looks at Aeris.... trying to find a reason to like her

Rufus Shinra says, "I suppose"

Hana says, "If you are going to do a raid... exercise daily....."

Aeris Gainsborough smiles a little at Cloud

Rufus Shinra says, "I will"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I love flowers... I grow them..."

Hana puts another ladle of stew into Rufus bowl then sits next to him on the bench

Cloud Strife says, "There aren't many flowers around here...."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I noticed"

Rufus Shinra eats his stew quickly then looks at Hana

Cloud Strife says, "maybe when they get this place back together... you can send them some seeds...."

Hana says, "need any more?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yes... I'd like too"

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm fine thank you"

Cloud Strife says, "I'm sure the elves would appreciate.... since a lot of there medicinal herbs got whipped out. You have a big garden?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yes.... a very big one.. I work it with the help of some Pixies"

Rufus Shinra puts his elbows on the table and starts to think

Cloud Strife says, "I would like to see it... if you wouldn't mind I mean"

Hana says, "What are you thinking about?"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles wide

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I love it"

Rufus Shinra says, "thinking of what to do... of how to kill him and get out"

Hana says, "Want to take a break on that for a bit and spend some time with me?"

Cloud Strife says, "Maybe I can help a little... I won't be chained to the throne full time.... "

Rufus Shinra says, "hmmm.. a break would be nice...."

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "that would be bad to be chained anywhere"

Aeris Gainsborough reaches out for her hand

Cloud Strife has a flash of being chained to Sephiroth's bed and draws back..

Aeris Gainsborough says, "Cloud... are you ok?"

Cloud Strife shivers slightly

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... fine... just what you said sparked an unpleasant memory"

Aeris Gainsborough blinks

Aeris Gainsborough says, "what memory?"

Cloud Strife says, "nothin"

Hana tugs on Rufus' ear

Rufus Shinra looks to her

Aeris Gainsborough places her hands in her lap and sighs

Cloud Strife says, "You really do wanna marry me don't you?"

Cloud Strife tries to change the subject

Aeris Gainsborough says, "yes"

Rufus Shinra says, "why are you tugging on my ear/"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "do you at all?"

Hana says, "Come with me"

Cloud Strife says, "I'm not sure..."

Rufus Shinra says, "alright"

Rufus Shinra stands up

Aeris Gainsborough sighs

Aeris Gainsborough says, "then what do you want?"

Cloud Strife says, "I mean.. I don't know. I'm kinda..... scared"

Aeris Gainsborough reaches her hand out to him again

Hana takes Rufus' hand and leads him to her room

Aeris Gainsborough says, "what are you afraid of"

Cloud Strife puts his hand in Aeris'

Rufus Shinra follows her... not sure what she is up to

Cloud Strife says, "I am not sure what to do"

Aeris Gainsborough takes his hand in both of hers

Aeris Gainsborough says, "what do you mean?"

Cloud Strife says, "The only encounter... I've had with another person .... was violent..."

Aeris Gainsborough says, "encounter? what do you mean?"

Rufus Shinra says, "where are we?"

Cloud Strife says, "nothin.. if I told you..."

Hana says, "My room"

Rufus Shinra blinks and looks around

Rufus Shinra says, "ok.... um...."

Hana says, "sit please"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "you can tell me... if we are to be married we should be able to talk"

Rufus Shinra sits down

Cloud Strife says, "Its embarrassing... and it'll get Reno in trouble"

Hana sits down beside Rufus and begins trailing her finger up and down his ear

Rufus Shinra says, "that feels kind of... nice"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I will not tell anyone"

Cloud Strife says, "You promise?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I swear"

Hana leans against Rufus slightly... and begins to nibble on his ear

Cloud Strife says, "well.... I was in Midgar and I got taken by slavers... and sold to a man... and.... he used me"

Rufus Shinra blinks a little but does not object to her nibbling

Aeris Gainsborough says, "..... barbaric"

Aeris Gainsborough puts her arms around Cloud in a tight hug

Cloud Strife leans into the hug slightly

Hana blows in Rufus' ear... trying to get him to react

Rufus Shinra quivers slightly... not having had anyone blow in his ear before

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I'm sorry that ever happened to you... where was Reno that this happened?"

Hana takes Rufus' hands and places them on her... unlacing her tunic slightly

Cloud Strife says, "He was drunk... and I foolishly wandered off. Please don't get him in trouble"

Rufus Shinra is not exactly sure what to do... and keeps his hands where she put them... feeling the skin under her tunic

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I won't... where is he any way?"

Cloud Strife says, "Feeding and getting me some proper clothes"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh.... well... he has to feed"

Hana says, "Go ahead Rufus.. don't be afraid "

Rufus Shinra says, "... what do I do?"

Aeris Gainsborough hugs Cloud some more... not wanting to let go

Hana says, "Use your imagination "

Hana tickles her fingers along Rufus' thigh

Rufus Shinra quivers again... begging to feel aroused by what she is doing

Aeris Gainsborough says, "want to know anything more from me?"

Cloud Strife says, "You still want me after I've been manhandled?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "but of course!"

Aeris Gainsborough smiles

Cloud Strife smiles

Cloud Strife says, "What if I told you.... I had feelings for Reno?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "hmmm.... what sort of feelings? hasn't he taken care of you your whole life?"

Cloud Strife says, "I'm not sure if what I feel for him is because of my impending changed.... but I had an obsession with trying to get my hands into his pants"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "oh.... that's odd... then again... I don't know Reno"

Hana smiles slightly... feeling Rufus' pulse quicken

Rufus Shinra leans his head down on Hana's shoulder

Rufus Shinra says, "I'm not sure I'm ready for this quite yet..."

Hana says, "Alright... I won't do anything else..... why don't we just take a nap?"

Rufus Shinra nods

Cloud Strife says, "Reno.... well... he is .... how to say... desirable..."

Cloud Strife twiddles his thumbs .... a bit embarrassed

Aeris Gainsborough says, "I've heard that's true of all Kindred"

Rufus Shinra says, "yes.... that would be good... I'm tired from that flying and stuff"

Hana says, "Alright"

Hana lies back and pulls Rufus with her.... then pulls a light weight blanket around them

Hana says, "Is this okay?"

Rufus Shinra says, "alright"

Rufus Shinra falls asleep over Hana rather quickly

Hana smiles and holds Rufus... believing she's finally found a replacement for her lost love

Cloud Strife looks at Aeris

Cloud Strife says, "you don't hate me then?"

Aeris Gainsborough shakes her head and smiles

Aeris Gainsborough says, "no"

Cloud Strife smiles

Cloud Strife says, "Thank you.... I was worried.... "

Aeris Gainsborough yawns and stretches her wings

Cloud Strife says, "You tired?"

Aeris Gainsborough says, "why not this... we sleep in the same bed tonight and in the morning if you didn't like it at all I will let you go... ok?"

Cloud Strife blinks

Cloud Strife says, "Okay I guess...."

Aeris Gainsborough smiles and strokes down his wings

Aeris Gainsborough says, "let's go then"

Cloud Strife shivers

Rufus Shinra sleeps peacefully over Hana

Cloud Strife says, "Ohh... okay... "

Cloud Strife willingly follows Aeris wherever she leads

Aeris Gainsborough takes his hand and runs back to the caves... finding an empty room and laying on the bed... pulling him to her

Cloud Strife finds it somewhat different from being with Reno.... but not bad. snuggles against Aeris.... and realizes he isn't going to be let go in the morning
