[His hold encircles her slender wrist and at first, Aerith simply freezes. It's not like him at all. This is the same guy who's been awkward about being able to high-five her, and yet he can just touch her like this? She doesn't understand it at all. She suspects even if she asked, he might not have an answer. Or he might not want to, and that's fine, as well. Sometimes it's better not to draw attention to it.
Cloud is, after all, easily embarrassed.
He turns her wrist and her hand. She lets him exam her and then when he puts in the effort to wipe her off, she can't help loosing a laugh. So that's what it was all about. It's a little funny when she's pretty sure they're both about to get much more dirty considering planting the flowers. Maybe he just wants to do the dirty portion and have her... what? Guidance?]
I'll get them!
[Aerith doesn't even hesitate. She follows with her gaze the direction in which he turns and it doesn't take her long to retrieve the bulbs he's referencing. Afterwards, returning back to his side, she's careful as she drops down to her knees, pulling the bulbs closer to them.
No. They're definitely about to get dirty. There's just something nice about putting in the effort.]
Am I just here for moral support, then? Sounds like you want the hands-on experience!
