[Just why did Aerith want to hang out with a sad drunk? Well, Blue won't judge, but then again, he supposes Zack had said he was right, when he supposed Aerith was the type to be able to bounce back from things easily. Apparently, that also extended to... other people.]

[Blue lets out a breath like a soft laugh, and shrugs his shoulders.] Maybe they can see the big ol' stormcloud over the bar that I'm brewing up, feeling sorry for myself.
