Aerith's realised that relatively quickly. It's not taken much to understand there's some kind of... crush? Infatuation? Those words might be too simple to describe whatever may be there between them. She doesn't ask for details. It's not really her place. She thinks on it some moments longer and Tifa's question about her and Balthier, she pauses rather abruptly.
What is Tifa really asking there?]
Uhm!
[Tilting her head thoughtfully, Aerith taps her fingertips against her cup.]
It... wasn't planned. At all. I think we both kind of thought we were kidding? And then at some point, it wasn't... kidding anymore. And by the time we realised that, things had already happened, things were already happening, and that was... that?
[Knitting her eyebrows together, Aerith shakes her head, clearing her throat a tad.] I think what really happened was that we're very alike in some ways and we tease. I called his bluff. He... was probably calling mine. It definitely wasn't like a child's storybook. That's for sure.
