'Course not. [ She's trying to keep her smile innocent, but also...it's endearing, the way he's dancing around it. There's a little spark of affection at that, and she raises a hand to tap thoughtfully against her cheek. ] And you're right about that! Should we ask them?

[ Aerith moves over to where the lilies are clustered, leaning in a little with her ear toward them. She nods, as if listening (though these flowers don't 'speak' to her the way they do at home) for a bit before turning back to Cloud with her brows raised. ]

Hmm... They definitely have an opinion. [ She informs him, matter-of-fact. ] Did you hear it from over there, Cloud?

[memorate]

Already?

[ For some reason, he's surprised at how suddenly everything is happening, like he's unprepared for what's about to happen next. Like he's already at the job interview before he even knew it. They could have just been playing a game up until now, or maybe she's just teasing him after already having figured him out.

To nobody's surprise, he has no clue what the flowers said, nor if she can actually hear them here. ]

What did they say...?

[anciently]

Well, they said they already know somebody who can get the job done, and who they're already familiar with. And that's you! [ She straightens up, smoothing her dress before turning, as if the matter is settled. ] So, I don't really see the point in looking for anyone else! …Unless you don't think you're up for the challenge?

[ Aerith tilts her head a little, smiling teasingly at the merc from where she stands. ]

I don't want to pressure you if you're not interested!

[memorate]

[ Of course she had to choose those particular words. Challenge? Pressure? As if he could ever back down!

Turning away from her again, he smiles to himself as he accepts the job. ]

Hmph... I can handle it.

[ He has been feeling so useless ever since they arrived here, the least he can do is this much. ]

[anciently]

Great! Problem solved. [ Did he trick her into letting him have the job, or did she trick him into taking it?? The answer: yes. ] I know you'll do a great job, Cloud.

[ With that all ironed out, she smiles in her enigmatic way, peering at him for a moment with her arms behind her back before glancing back to the flowers. ]

Well, I'd better start working on the business plan, then... Maybe I'll find you tomorrow or something to go over the details?
