I'd lie for you, and that's the truth [Open]!

 Who: Aerith and you! 
What: Plants, maybe catmint, and trying to relax
When: Port fun times
Where: On the Barge, the sea, and all over the island
Warnings: TBA

[Video]

So for those of you who are looking all over for plants-let me know please?
 Especially if you're in the infirmary or in the kitchen. I have pots that you can use to gather stuff up with and I can drop them off. And if you need a trowel, I'll hang out with you so you can get the plants out, or grab some roots or whatever. 

Also- if you do need healing, please let me know. And...those who have borrowed restore materia? You can drop it off at my cabin at the Barge, or at the Greenhouse. I'll be there if I'm not on the island. 

Thanks! 

[Plant Gathering]

Aerith was going around with a book or two (or five) with a pack, some gardening tools, and pots. Lots, and lots of pots. There was a lot of work that she had put in, with her frequently pausing, opening up a book, and quickly flipping through the pages to see if it matched what she had in her book. 

"Hey." She made to flip her book over, and offered the person a look at the photo within the page to see if it matched the plant that was in front of him. "Does this look right to you?" 

Or you might find her later, struggling with a little too many pots filled with various plants (mostly seeds, seedlings and fruits) and dirt and trying to head back to the Barge. Lend her a hand?

And for those who are of the cat variety...yes. Aerith has surprisingly found some cat mint. You could bug her for having it while she's gathering it or at the Greenhouse!

[Greenhouse]

Sometimes she came back- not for long stretches though. There was a lot to do on the island itself. But she needed to do what she could in order to get the supplies so they could grow what plants they managed to steal forage from the island proper.

"Okay, so this needs to be watered, this one needs to be potted...and we need to filter all the seeds from the berries, and maybe give it to the kitchen. Maybe they can make jam." 

She was muttering to herself, and to the horde of plants that she had. But she sighed, and felt her shoulders slump a little. "Maybe I should have asked for more volunteers..." 

Or maybe she shouldn't have tried to do so much. But she had gotten so excited...it couldn't be helped.


[The Beach]

Aerith wasn't always so plant crazy. Sometimes, she took a little time to explore, to talk to some of the locals politely, and to enjoy the sunshine. Sometimes, she liked to go around, bootless, when she could. She liked feeling the dirt under her feet, and the beach too. 

The beach was especially fun, and she could be often found frolicking in the waves, laughing from the pure joy of being on the beach and feeling the waves and water on her feet. 

"Come on! The water isn't cold at all!"

Plant Gathering - the struggle is real

He sees her trying to practically juggle the array of pots on the way to the Barge and rushes over.

"Need help with those? What can I take?"

"It'd be okay if it were," Malcolm tells her gamely, taking the package she indicated. "Are these for the greenhouse?"

At first, Cloud thinks she's asking about his motion sickness, as he brings aboard another pair of the special cups they need and settles himself in the boat across from her. He's about to mention the medicine Tendi gave him to combat it, but then she keeps going and he realizes what she's actually doing.

"Right," he says, giving her a somewhat pointed look that says I know you're teasing, but don't take the joke too far.

It's been a few months since they decided to try getting to know each other all over again from the start like normal people, and for the most part Cloud would say they've done a pretty good job of building an actual friendship this way and learning about each other as they are now. But every once in a while, one of them says or does something, or something happens, that slips them back into older ways of seeing each other, and the most recent one was the most dire for Cloud - watching Hela nearly kill her. After he managed to take the goddess down, he'd sprinted onto the Barge and took the portal straight to the infirmary to find her and Vincent. She was alive, and that discovery on its own almost brought Cloud to tears of relief - but also tears of dread, of frustration, that such a thing could come so close to happening again on his watch, and for a little while after that it was difficult to stay fully in the present with her. Difficult not to return to the days of constantly fearing she might vanish from his life again without warning and thinking about what could have been, if only.

By now he's pretty much back on track, though, and so his warning is not all that serious...but it is still a warning. Still, he can't help but relax at just hearing her sound like her normal self.

"I'll be fine. You're the one who thinks all this stuff is 'romantic.'" Is he acting like more of a grump about this than he really feels? Yes. He's gotta play his part of their banter, after all.
nimbuster: (head tilt huh)

Cloud arches a brow. "Of course. Just don't stand up or rock the boat too much, you'll be fine."

He takes up both oars and adeptly steers them away from the dock, out into the open sea. He likes the work of rowing the boat. It feels good to keep active and have something to occupy his hands and body while they talk and take in the scenery. The repetitive motion is soothing, somehow.

After a few minutes, "You done any trips before this, or is this your first one?"

"Aerith!" she calls out when she sees her in the fields. "Aerith, wait a moment!" Justine comes trotting up to her, a woven basket over one arm. She's in a fine blue and white dress, ready for a day of being seen and walking the countryside. Her bonnet stays fast to her hair, shielding her face from the sun, but still showing the bright smile she has for the other woman.

"I have something for you."

"Of course I didn't!" she laughs and takes out a little flower chain made of reds and whites. Not big enough for a necklace, but just big enough for a bracelet.

"But I thought of you. Look how lovely!"

Erskine is spending most of his time with the locals. He doesn't necessarily feel more at home with them then he does on the Barge, but the Barge definitely doesn't feel like home. Whatever else, he enjoys the company a great deal and he's never had any trouble striking up conversation.

For all his attention is with his new friends, he hasn't forgotten old ones. When he sees Aerith, he heads her way with a friendly 'see you soon' to a Fauna.

"Hello, Aerith!"

Erskine grins at her. "I'm afraid that's just because any gap in our conversations is too long. It makes it hard to tell how long it's been since we talked." It's a curse, really.

"It's good to see you, and looking so well."

He finds the highest point, somewhere above her, and then leaps into the waves. Why? For the hell of it. Yazoo likes to go fast and feel the delicious rush of his adrenaline pounding through his veins.

He is also, noticeably, not wearing his black coat and pants anymore. Instead he is dressed in a white tunic befitting an ancient Greek! When he swims back to shore, the fabric sticks to his body and he shakes his silver hair out of his eyes.

"It feels nice!"

[personal profile] slingingbullets 2024-11-19 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Both!" Yazoo answers brightly, his low, smooth voice tinged with...happiness? True happiness? Maybe! He walks through the waves to her side, his tunic sticking to his skin in interesting ways. He is definitely fit!

"Sore?" he blinks and looks down at himself, lifting his hands to examine his arms, "I don't think so. Why should I be?"

He's...a lot. In a variety of ways.

"The water burned when I first hit." is that what she means?

The Cat King isn't out in the fields enough to catch Aerith actually collecting plants, but he sure does sit up and pay attention when the young woman goes by with a certain... smell about her. He hops off the crumbling stone wall he'd been sunning himself on to trot after her.

"Hey, HEY! Where's the stuff?"
countthecats: (CatAngry)

[personal profile] countthecats 2024-11-20 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
"The catnip," he says, as if it should be obvious. "I know you have some, I can smell it on you. Don't tell me you're going to hold out on me when the other inmates get to drink it up to their hearts' content."

He's not a regular cat, and technically he could drink too, if he wished. But he doesn't much like the kind of loss of control that comes with alcohol. Catnip, on the other hand, now that's completely different.
