❛ really, you think so, tifa? i never really thought about it, honestly. ❜ the cetra had turned her attention after staring at the bright lights in the night sky. obviously, they were the stars that twinkled and the moon had kept the night well lit. hearing tifa’s words itself made her blink a eye and tried to give it some thought. maybe, she was right. for aeris, she really never considered the night to be filled many different lights. it is how one see’s it as such, of course.
but for aeris, most of her attention was directed to how peaceful it was. maybe too quiet for most but it was perfect to her such as the weather was calming. who knows, how many nights that she could experience like this left. she made the most of it by enjoying it. knowing the next morning, they would have to continue with their adventure and whatever else that might be unexpected waiting for them.
“Of course! It’s funny, isn’t it? I wonder if the stars are always watching us up there...”
Celestial guardians of the night. It’s so pretty. Tifa shifts in her seat, arms folded against the lacquered window frame of the Gondola and every time she blinks a different color sparks for a moment behind her closed eyes. Red to white, white to yellow, yellow to green, green to blue. A flourish of artificial color washes over the winding arches of Chocobo racing tracks where a flurry of birds awash against the clamoring unseen crowd below dip into the final turn before the telltale chime of a victor sings up towards them in passing.
While the handful of attractions at the Gold Saucer were truly all fun and games Tifa feels the most content riding the Gondola for a quiet and almost homey getaway with someone she trusts who won’t bar their emotions away like a certain spikey haired Ex-SOLDIER. Aeris is perky as the flowers she effortlessly seemed to make bloom in the slums, shedding a light from the church.
Even if their night sky was temporary there’s still hope in a smile.
