[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.]
[Second try: another failure. At least this time it wasn't because he missed the fish. He actually had one— until it twitched and broke through the scoop. He took too long trying to get it into the bag.]
Hm? [ She's not surprised for long--it was kind of hard to imagine Cloud keeping pets, even a simple one like a fish. And this way, her two will have more company! So she takes the bag in hand gladly. ] Thanks, Cloud. I'll have to get a bowl for them to all swim in.
So, you're having fun here, right? I think I saw a smile just now~ [ Which she likes. Cloud doesn't smile enough. ]
These! [ She points to the beads looping from his pants. ...This probably isn't what Cloud wanted to be identified for. ] They're kind of pretty, so I remember them.
[ They're at least a little manlier than "Allure of Honey". ] Mm... guess it's no surprise. [ She seems a little disappointed, though. ] I helped Cosmos' warriors more. Girls have to stick together, you know?
[He nods, understanding. If she helped that side more, he wouldn't have been able to see her too often. He tried to avoid fighting during the 12th cycle as much as he could. Perhaps he inadvertently avoided her as well.
It was probably for the best. He wasn't sure if he could handle knowing he might have to fight against both Aerith and Tifa. Just hearing her say she was there upset him enough.]
... [ She shakes her head. ] You always did try to keep me out of things. I'm not happy about that conflict or what it did to people. But knowing about it, I'm glad I could do something.
Now! Enough serious talk, or next up is the face-painting booth.
[ ooc: But ahhh, Cloud doesn't have ideas and I've run out myself, actually--was there something you'd like to do, or should we just say Aerith pushed him around from booth to booth for a while? lol ]
[OOC: pffft, I uh... don't really have ideas either. we can just say he followed her around for a bit and just leave it at that, if you'd like? idk what else they could do. |Da sorry about that!]

[ And she really does mean to encourage him. She's just also amused by his efforts.
It's been waaaay too long since she's gotten to see Cloud just doing ordinary things. Including getting worked up over something harmless. ]

The third try proves to be a charm; now he knows how to scoop the fish and to quickly get it in the bag. He manages to snag a small, orange one.]
Got it.

It's fun, [he admits.] I haven't been in a place like this for a while.
no subject
Or... no, you mean you've been somewhere else, right? [ It's a different outfit he's wearing, after all. And she remembers it...just a little. ]

How did you know?
/I just like playing with her different cameos
Did you not see me? I couldn't appear often.
you should totally do itadaki street special too
He goes silent to think, trying to remember if he's seen her. After a moment, he shakes his head.]
I don't remember seeing you. Which side were you on? [Cosmos', like Tifa was?]
the sprites are so adorable in that
they really are. it's practically criminal.
It was probably for the best. He wasn't sure if he could handle knowing he might have to fight against both Aerith and Tifa. Just hearing her say she was there upset him enough.]
...you shouldn't have gotten dragged into it.

Aerith...

[ That is a terrible parody of Cloud's voice, but Aerith maintains that it's only as bad as Cloud's parody of himself as a girl. ]
no subject
I'll pass.
no subject
What do you want to do, then? Since it's your first festival in a while.
sorry for the late tag. ;;
I don't have any specific plans. [He's just been wandering around until something catches his attention.]
no worries!
