[Insert witty, fantastic setting details here. Seriously, all you really need to know is that it's a festival. A MONTH LONG festival with Fireworks happening every night once Darkness falls.]
So what kind of rep are you building with that kind of wallet, Yuffie? I didn't think that was your style. Is pickpocketing a kid game now?
[ "some booth...somewhere". Awfully vague, and Aerith gives the big bear a dubious and slightly mournful look. And then...shoves it back toward Yuffie. Warning, incoming pink!]
I'm not sure I can take this! [ NO GIVING HER STOLEN STUFF, YUFFIE. Unless it was like...ripped off a sleaze, but she's more worried this was for another girl or a kid. ]
[loloops Yuffie has no shame! She pushes the bear back toward Aerith, so it's like reverse tug-of-war. No way in hell was she taking that scary thing back.]
Hey hey, it's a hard life in the wild for a ninja! Besides, I won this fair and square. The guy just shoved it at me and closed his booth, I guess I was just too awesome.
[Actually no, it was one of those 'throw the ball at the bottles and knock them down' things. She was throwing them so hard they were bouncing all over the tent, and for his own safety he gave her the bear and shut down the game.]
Anyway, I only swiped the wallet 'cause I was bored. I'll give it back. Not like the guy had a lot of money anyway.
Aerith starts pushing back, but... hesitates. Well, Yuffie's probably...not telling the 100% gospel truth there, but Aerith's pretty sure she can trust it was given to her.
For one reason or another. ]
You promise? [ She does want the fluffy thing, so long as its not ruining anyone's day for her to have it, so she stops the reverse tug-of-war. ...And reaches with its arm to poke Yuffie's cheek with one stuffed pink paw. She can't help being a little silly. ] I'll keep it, then. There's a lost and found, let's turn the wallet in there.
[This is Yuffie putting a hand over her heart and reciting an age old promise.]
Cross my heart and hope to...
[Awkward.]
...uh yeah I promise. And I guess I could turn in this thing in.
[She produces the wallet from out of thin air. It's a neat magic trick she's learned at this place. She wants to learn so much more - she can have a second career as magician. ]
Lead the way! I have no idea where the Lost and Found is.
[ Awwwwwkwaaard. Aerith's eyebrows knit together as she follows what Yuffie was going to say; though she looks annoyed for a second, she lets it go with a tiny sigh, smiling again. That smile turns to a little "o" of surprise when the wallet appears just like magic. ]
Wow! Picking up more sleight of hand, I see. That was pretty good.
Oh--the Lost and the Found is in the center of things, though it's kind of small. Easy to miss. You think a Lost and Found would be easier to find... C'mon, it's this way.
Yup, I just need to learn how to make rabbits appear and I'm golden!
[Not that she has a hat to have pull them out of, but she could find a substitute somewhere. Maybe she could relieve a certain friend of theirs of his cape. That could hide lots of things!]
They probably hide the Lost and Found so it can't ever be found. So they can keep all the stuff.
[That's what she would do anyway. So she follows behind Aerith, mentally judging each person they passed to see if they would be an easy mark.
Not that she was going to pickpocket or anything. That usually got pretty boring - it was always too easy.]
[ Including Yuffie herself when Vincent came for his cape? ]
Sneaky! But there's no hiding from a sharp-eyed flower girl.
[ She's occasionally looking back at Yuffie--better not be snitching stuff with her right here!--but for the most part she's simply looking around the fair. ]
Maybe you could set up your magician act here. It doesn't seem like the festival's ending anytime soon.
[Vincent would never find her when she hid in his the magic cape!]
Yeah, I can't get much past you. Pretty easy to pull things over with everyone else.
[There's some respect in that statement, seriously. Anyway, Yuffie's twirling the wallet around her fingers as they draw closer to the elusive Lost & Found.]
Maybe I can! Then I can get a huge following of admirers. They'll make fanclubs about me and wear my face on their shirts.
[It takes her a moment to remember some SOLDIERs had such fanclubs, and she rolls her eyes.]
Actually, I can just do without the club and shirts. Don't want my face everywhere, ninjas have to blend in.
Hey, maybe I want a creepy one! Cute means people will take me as a softy.
[The element of surprise is pretty fun though, and she can act all cuddly and cute if she gets to trick people....nah, too much effort. She couldn't pull it off.]
Oh, that's right. The rep again. Silly me. [ Silly Yuffie, too, as her playful tone makes clear. ]
Hmm... wonder if any of the booths would have a prize like that. [ She looks around, then thinks of something else-- pointing: ] Or you could get it painted on! [ It's a face painting booth. ]
[Face painting actually sounds pretty fun. She's sure she could look a lot more intimidating with scary face paint, despite her small size. Like a miniature demon!]
Face paint sounds good to me! You should get something, too. [Yuffie studies Aerith's face before grinning.] I'm sure they will paint rainbows and stuff too.
And what do you have to do to get your face painted?
[ Sit still. ]
--Ah! All right, just one second! Can't forget the wallet. [ She holds out a hand for it and, if Yuffie gives it to her, she'll dart over to that tucked-out-of-sight Lost & Found to deliver it, then come right back. ]

It's flowers!
...Though I wouldn't say no to a cute moogle...or maybe butterfly wings.
no subject
With a moogle on top.
...that has butterfly wings.
With pink everywhere.
[This is Yuffie trying to think of the girliest of girly things to put on Aerith's face.]
And a huge sun on your forehead. With cotton candy. We should find some cotton candy.
[And her train of thought back right back to food.]

(Though hey, with girl moogles being pink in the game, a pink butterfly-mog might not be too far fetched...) ]
I'm not sure you could sit still if we put any more energy in you.
