[ If she were honest, it’s not a moment of strength that brings her back to Oriphi’s home. It’s weakness. A horrible, sinking loneliness: Aerith does not do well with the best, so she rushes ahead, at any cost. Today, it’s probably unrecommended to be running around, picking fruit, dressing herself, or anything like that with such an injury, but she also isn’t too sure she’d forgive herself for letting Eustace think she’s bedridden over him.
It’s been mere days since, but she still knows the way, has it mapped out in her mind as clearly as the walk to her mother’s house in the slums from the abandoned church, and she takes to it easily. Last night, she’d laid alone and thought about all the ways that she wishes she could have fought differently, or all the things she wished she said instead. Today, she walks with her head held high in the sunlight, hair tied back with a strip of pink fabric from a tattered, bloodied dress. She knows four times, melodious, humming a tune like nothing’s occurred, and at her feet is a basket stuffed with apples.
…and in her hands? Well, it’s a drink carrier with drinks from Dreambucks. She wasn’t sure what to get, so a trio of milk teas will have to do. Just in case fruit isn’t Diluc’s thing, you know? If he’s home, at all. ]
Heya. Special delivery! Bet you haven’t had one of these in a few days, huh?
i've arrived, finally.
