[Oh. Those are some sweet words. There's an unconscious smile that appears on his face as she speaks. He has to admit, that there's some part of him that didn't think he'd grow close to those here, but there were some particular people that changed that for him. Certainly less reserved than he was when he first arrived here, he felt like he could trust people. And that was enough, for now.]
I am happy to hear that. I must admit, I have a distrust for those around me, but there are those that have changed that for me. You are one of them.
[He says his words through grit teeth -- his hands pulling a particularly hard weed out from the ground, before throwing it into the wheelbarrow adjacent to him.]
If I can protect you from harm, then I will. Although, young lady, I am certain that you are more than capable of handling things yourself.
Some would say that it's healthy and wise to have a little distrust for those they don't know very well. Considering the situation, it would be silly to expect you or anyone else not to feel that way. Just because we're in the same situation doesn't mean that we all view it the same way.
[To some people, this is a prison. To others, it's liberating. There's also the multiple shades of grey in between. Nothing is ever simple or straight forward. People, their feelings, their thoughts, those are quite the same. Aerith can't imagine ever expecting Astralin to think or feel any differently that is his personal truth. That's what makes it his, after all. And it's also what makes it so special and unique.]
I don't like to brag, but I'm pretty good in a fight when I have to be?
[Playfully, she flexes, though she's a small girl and there's not much impressive about her from a physical standpoint. Although some would say, and surely have before, that strength is not just physical. There's no doubt that she's incredibly resilient. Not unlike the flowers blooming in Midgar, otherwise, where so few do.]
I hope that you'll let me protect you too, Astralin. I think that's the way friends should be.
