[At first, there's just audio as Aerith is figuring out how this little trinket works. A phone would be easier, wouldn't it? As video comes on, she lifts a hand and wiggles her fingers in greeting.]

Hellllooooo!

[If it seems like she's too cheery, that very likely might be the case. Despite the situation and bizarre circumstances, she's chosen to approach all of this with a great deal of optimism. Smile, and the world smiles with you, goes the saying.]

I understand a lot of us are kind of going through the same thing and it's probably very easy to focus on what we don't know, but I thought it might be kind of nice to have the reminder that we have a common goal. So whether you arrived here with friends or without them, you're not alone! You have the rest of us, too.

[Gesturing to herself, she continues.]

My name's Aerith and I didn't arrive with very much, but if there's something I can help you out with, make sure you let me know and I'll do my best! Also, if you're having trouble finding a place to stay, I'm sharing a room here with my bodyguard, but I'm sure he won't mind too much if we make a little more room for you.

[You're welcome, Cloud.]

Do my ears deceive me, or does that sound like the beginning of a compromise regarding our differing approaches?

[He smiles, and despite how very irritable he'd been during their first meeting, it's both warm and genuine, moreso than the cheek he'd been giving her even a few moments before while discussing his chosen path. Of course, it's all rhetorical— he doesn't expect a real answer, but he'll admit that he's enjoying the fairly easy banter that's begun to spring up between them.]

That said, I'll be certain to let you know. For now, it seems like you'll have your hands full, regarding that invitation you made in your first message. Something tells me your bodyguard might have some opinions about that. No doubt we'll cross paths again soon, flower girl.
