[Aerith nods her understanding— for a long while, she, too, had asked Rufus not to go into too much detail, because you really couldn't un-know something once you knew it, and she'd thought it would be better safe than sorry. Maybe it would have been better if she hadn't caved and let curiosity get the better of her, but...
Maybe now that she knows, she can change things for the better.]
We were just leaving Midgar. You and the others— you rescued me.
[She can't help but offer a small smile as she says so. Somber as the conversation is, she'll never be anything less than eternally grateful that they had cared enough to come after her— to help her, even without her asking.]
[She nods again, her lips pulling into a worried little frown. She remembers all too well when Tifa had left, even if it had only been for a short while. Her presence had been missed, as had Cloud's.]
Two weeks, and things changed that much...
[She furrows her brow slightly and searches Tifa's face, concerned. Her poor friend must have been carrying a lot.]
I guess we really had no idea what we were about to find ourselves in the middle of when we first met, huh? One thing led to another, and then... everything just got so much bigger than us.

You... remember how I went back home for a few days, yeah?
[She won't go into detail, of course, because she knows what it's like to not want to know, but...]
It's already pretty bad as it is. It'd barely been two weeks.

[It's only going to get bigger, she thinks... just judging by what she knows now compared to what she did before.]
If there's anything you want to know... then all you gotta do is ask.
