Zack. Now there was another subject he wasn’t totally sure what to do about. Not that he had a problem with the guy. Liked him pretty well actually, for a SOLDIER. But…Aerith was still Aerith, and Zack was still ShinRa. 

Like Reno was in a position to say anything there.

So he just kept his place on the floor, watching from the corner of his eye until the silence started to turn into something uncomfortable. Something that had rarely happened in the not-so-distant past.

With a sigh that started out annoyed and turned into something determined he sat up, then jumped to his feet. “Let’s go somewhere, yo. Go do somethin’.” A plan wasn’t anywhere he’d gotten as far as yet, but he offered a hand anyway, as if it was.

    Shifting to stand as he did, pressing her palms against her knees to push herself up rather than hop to it with the vigor of the Turk, her arms crossed at the wrists until she slid her palms to grasp each opposite elbow, a look of skepticism crossing her features as she took a few steps.

      In this heat? We'll be lucky       if anywhere in the Slums is       open in this kind of weather."

    It wasn't a no, though, and Reno of all people would know that Aerith's lack-of "no" was all but an excuse to actually convince her. It'd take a bit, though to drag her out of the shade and into the wilting, dry rushes of air the accompanied the dust-filled slums. Even with no sun bearing down on them, that only made it more like an actual oven.

Leon had been in a bad mood to begin with, the heartless had been popping up more than ever and between that and the restoration work he barely found the time to breathe anymore. And seeing that man getting way too close to Aerith just made him snap and before he even knew what he was doing his fist was already flying, landing with a very satisfying ‘thwack’.

He blinked for a moment, Aerith’s words snapping him out of the haze he’d been in. He glanced between her and the stranger for a few moments before turning back to her with a sigh.

“You okay?”

    One glance at the man who'd seen fit to get knocked out that day informed her he was breathing, just out cold-- probably for a while, in all honesty. Lips pursed for a moment, drawn thin in a faint grimace of the imagination of how painful that bruise would be to wake up to. The fact their Commander had gone out on a limb to land the blow though...     ...was something eating at him?     She reached for his hand, lifting it to examine and peeling at the leather glove that would otherwise hide his knuckles from her, wondering if he'd injured them in his act of bravado...or his loss of temper, whichever one would call it.

      "Shouldn't I be asking you that?

YO! lilith here. my good friend fey’s dog, krypto, got really sick and has to be held at the vet’s office. vet bills are super super expensive ($100 a night just to stay there) and we need a little help getting together some cash to make sure he can stay as long as he needs to. the GoFundMe is set up HERE!!! and anything you can donate will be the bee’s fuckin’ knees. a signal boost is greatly appreciated too!!!

seriously though, fey is an incredible human being (she’s head mod of the rp group i’m in and she’s FANTASTIC) and we want to make sure her incredible furry friend can be okay too. any questions you have you can direct to this blog or to destinyskxy! thank you all so much for helping us out.

For anyone who isn’t aware, Krypto is my 9-10 year old (I adopted him when he was around four, and they didn’t have an exact age for him) daschund-beagle mix baby. Last night, he had a severe seizure that lasted over ten minutes, in which he suffered a lot and was sick at various points for the rest of the night.  This morning, he passed blood when he was using the bathroom, and I took him immediately to the vet. I’m a college student with two jobs, but I still barely make enough to cover normal day-to-day bills. I don’t have healthcare for myself or for my dog, and money is tight. I’m not asking you to donate, but anything you feel like you can contribute, I’m definitely grateful for. As I tuck in for the first  time in five years without him laying next to me, I’m definitely missing him right now. The vet believes it’s a case of pancreatitus, though there’s also an off chance that he’s been poisoned by bad food, as we also recently changed his food.  I’ll find out hopefully over the next few days. His prognosis is still in the air, pending expensive tests ($100 already for bloodwork), overnight hospitalization, and other expensive fees. Anything you do to help, I truly do thank you from the bottom of my heart as we work on getting my sweet baby back to me. Thank you,  Fey

A small update: Krypto’s blood sugar is back up to normal, however the vets still can’t get him to eat. This means they’re keeping him another night-- and potentially because of how their hours are set up, the entire weekend. Since they’re closed most of Saturday and all of Sunday, this already means tonight is another $100 (two nights making $200 so far on top of other expenses), and if they keep him for the weekend, another $200 for Saturday and Sunday. Since he’s not eating he’s having to stay on the IV, though they’re reporting he’s active and moving around. I’d like to share a few videos of Krypto I’ve taken of him with Snapchat so you’ll know how much of a loving, caring dog he is and how important he is to me. Thank you for reading this, and please share this message so I can get my dog home safely.  See Krypto Here.

  Sometimes it was a more considerable wait time than others for Tifa to be done with changing the shift at the bar over to Barrett, just to have a bit of time between them. It wasn’t a big deal, and Aerith was honestly more than happy to wait as long as it meant Tifa didn’t feel rushed or uncomfortable. The pink-clad girl would merely sit herself at the end of the bar, a ginger ale in hand, and patience on her expression.  The regulars by then knew who she was waiting for, and rarely interfered with more than an afternoon greeting. The ...well, more troublesome crowd didn’t, and after an hour or so of waiting that afternoon, she found herself outright accosted by one who plopped right down next to her with a hand immediately on her knee, and more than that invading her personal space. The response was immediate from behind the bar-- a sound warning of “Hands off!” before the man whipped his head with a dry sneer, inquiring simply, “Or what?”He didn’t even make the full rotation of his head before he turned his own cheek bone into Tifa’s fist, staggering back off of the stool. Raising a hand to almost stifle a laugh, Aerith gave Tifa a wry little smile.       “Did he just knock himself out on your fist?”

Send (╯°□°)╯ for my muse’s reaction to yours punching out someone who was flirting with them!Aerith wasn’t necessarily an unpopular nurse by far-- she was well natured to the point at least a few of the other staff of the hospital had expressed interest in at least asking her out. Unfortunately for the interested parties...she was often too busy to actually notice when they were actually flirting in earnest rather than just making friendly small talk. Particularly when she was checking the charts of their special patient ShinRa.Said special patient, who had oh-so-recently regained his ability to walk and had been seeking her out when catching the tail end of “-- at my place this weekend, we can grab a few drinks, and--”Which was really just enough to trigger his temper, if nothing else, and Aerith glanced up just in time to see the patient ram a fist into the fellow nurses’s face, green eyes wide as the poor guy crumpled like a wet towel, her curls whipping as she regarded the blonde with one part alarm and one part immediate concern for the fact he’d probably just ripped open his stitches. 

    “Mr. ShinRa, you need to get back to bed!      And--why did you do that?!”

For the mun: HOW ARE YOU THIS PERFECT? What made you choose the Baerith? 3 favourite blogs? Do you have any pets? Drink of choice?

(( 1. I AM NOT PERFECT I AM AN INNOCENT SPUD. 2. The Baerith is actually super calming to roleplay tbh? Like it’s actually really relaxing to get into her headspace and I think that’s just what I needed tbh.3. I... I CANNOT. D: Like I literally cannot pick favorites it makes me feel so bad aha. 4. Yesss!! I have a little old man 8 year old daschund/beagle mix named Krypto. He’s my tiny bab. <3 and v v orange.5. Uh. tbh probably boba tea ))

  The seconds in which Rikku had left her at the front of the tavern to secure them a room with some grade-a Al Bhed haggling had begun to feel like years since some young aspiring blitzball player had walked up next to her to try and chat her up. If nothing else it was awkward at first, with Aerith trying to keep a comfortable distance between them, definitely mentioning the Summoner aspect of her career. 

  After all, most tended to avoid Summoners. None wanted the responsibility of starting anything with someone who had decided it was their destiny and responsibility to fight. The young man was not to be dissuaded though, and after a long moment, had gone to throw his arm around her shoulder, only to quickly disappear. A blur of orange and yellow, nothing more, and Rikku seemed to be...standing on the poor kid’s head.       “I thought you’d left me to      become a shoo-puff herder...”

   Selling anything in the slums was dangerous. Living in the slums was dangerous. Being alone was dangerous, anywhere one went nowadays. Fortunately she’d never had the discomfort of having to confront anyone, and her reputation was well received and liked among the other merchants-- her business of selling flowers interfered with none of theirs, considering they hadn’t the time or patience to nurture luxury plants themselves. But Midgar was a big place, and not everyone was as nice as the small click of the slum market   The path she wandered that afternoon had taken her through a few of the upper plate streets, until she’d found herself a bit worn out; it’d been a long day and she’d actually made a few Gil, something pleasant to tide her over until she needed to buy more stationary to write her next letter. Resting against a wall and closing her eyes for just a moment, green irises flashed open again when a shadow blocked out the dim streetlamp of afternoon lighting, and she found herself face to face with someone blocking her escape.       “Do you need to buy a flower, sir?”      “Not what I had in mind, but I can buy something else?”    The exchange continued in shorter answers, until she found he would not let her move...until he was knocked clean to the ground, desperation flashing across her earlier, alarmed expression as she caught sight of the Turk that had all but knocked the man out in a single blow.        “-Tseng!”      The pure clarity of relief in her tone was clear.

          “I have someone I need to be-”  Surely this was the very statement that happened to fall on deaf ears as she tried bargaining with the particular villain who’d decided to stop by the Garden that particular day; it wasn’t terribly uncommon to get less than savory characters who had been cast from their worlds as well.    They stopped by, stirred up some trouble, and were usually sent on their way very quickly, though this one seemed to be getting a little up close and personal, and she frowned, trying to detach herself just in time to see the impact of a fist on the man’s knuckles, making her freeze, turning to her would be savior.         “Leon?”

(╯°□°)╯ ((NOTSORRY))

   It had been...certainly unexpected when Meadowsweet had outright punched out the man who, after several days of consecutively stopping the two on their way to work, would aggressively proceed to flirt with Aerith on an increasingly uncomfortable level. She’d been just about to, in as blunt a tone as she could manage, tell him she wasn’t interested... before there was a flash of pink and the man was on the ground after he’d made a move to take her wrist.          “Meadowsweet! Are you okay--?”   Not if the man was okay, in particular, but ...well, surely something must have happened to set off her assistant, right? She was confused, and the health of the unconscious man would come second.

I saw battle-corpses, myriads of them, And the white skeletons of young men, I saw them, I saw the debris and debris of all the slain soldiers of war, But I saw they were not as was thought, They themselves were fully at rest, they suffer’d not, The living remain’d and suffer’d, the mother suffer’d, And the wife and child and the musing comrade suffer’d, And the armies that remained suffer’d
