Hey, can you meet me at the Greenhouse? It's not an emergency, but it's important.
Hm? Oh sure.
This is...Maggie right? I'm on my way.
This is...Maggie right? I'm on my way.
Yeah, I am. Sorry for skipping the pleasantries.
Thank you, I'll head over now. [With plant ID book in hand and a scanned copy of the relevant pages to leave in the greenhouse.]
Just... fur colors. Usually black and brown.
[Feathers get more interesting.]
[Feathers get more interesting.]
It's okay. I'll meet you there.
[And she is there at the doors, looking worried. She wasn't sure what was going on.]
Hey- Maggie. So...what's up?
[And she is there at the doors, looking worried. She wasn't sure what was going on.]
Hey- Maggie. So...what's up?
Better. His memories are coming back. Mostly back, it looks like.
He's gonna be okay.
He's gonna be okay.
Huh...that's too bad.
...did you want green horses?
[They could have ANY horses they want WN!]

"Hey, Aerith. So, I'm one of the people Justine drugged. And the key ingredient of her amnesia potion is a specific variety of rose." Hence Maggie's concern.
"If there are any in the greenhouse, I want them out. And if not, I want to place a request that they not be planted here in future."
Aerith, do you know Angel Dust?
Aerith stared at Maggie in shock. It took a few moments for her hand to go to her mouth, before she shook her head.
"If there's that specific rosebush in the Greenhouse- I'll help take it out myself." She brought her hand down. "There's one rose bush we need to check first. It was...it was just planted."
She felt sick. Did she help hurt Cloud? By accident? And all the others? She couldn't have. Could she?

Oh, sure! I know him. He's super fun and fluffy, isn't he?
[Aerith how is that relevant to anything]
[Aerith how is that relevant to anything]
...Yes. Him.
[ Yes, he did indeed find himself in a scenario when he could feel the fluff. ]
He sent me a gift. I need suggestions on what to get him. And his pig.

Oh! He sent me one too- the prettiest dress!
But let's see...Angel loves clothes and stuff, but he has a lot of those. Jewelry would be nice but...
I think something for him and Fat Nuggets would make him happy. He loves his pet.
Oh! I know! Matching outfits!

Matching outfits.
[ There's a certain flatness in his voice. Vincent might have a dubious choice of fashion, but he is familiar with it. What's really got him speaking so dryly is the notion that he can, somehow not just choose clothes for as fashionably forward an individual as Angel Dust clearly is but also matching ones for the hellpig. ]
So... pajamas?
[ ...It's hesitantly put forward. Then... because the matching outfit thing really is a good idea... ]
...Do you think the clothes need to consider the extra eyes on Fat Nuggets?
[ That pig has eyes on the side of its body, Aerith. ]

Yeah! Matching outfits! They could have pjs, or dresses, or any of it!
But yeah, you'd need openings for the eyes, I think. Which is okay, because I mean...Angel has extra arms and everything! So still matching, if the fabric is the same.

[ Should he be surprised that dresses are an option? No.
But Vincent's reason for dismissing that part of the suggestion is that he wouldn't know the first thing about picking dresses, much less suited for a spider demon and a hell pig. ]
Aerith, I don't know the first thing about dresses. I'll stick with pajamas.
[ Maybe it's his affinity with sleep that makes this more solid ground. Another pause. Then. ]
...Eyemasks?

Okay! I mean, if you want a rundown on dresses sometime...
[She's teasing. And she's pretty sure he'll hang up on her if she's serious. But that has her nod.]
Yeah, since slippers wouldn't work. It could be...hmm. With heart eyes? Or just eyes closed, with a little eye over the other two for Fat Nuggets.

.... Can you come over?
[ Maybe you lost him there. Or maybe he has something else going on. Well, he is in his cabin by the suggestion since he didn't mention being elsewhere. ]

Of course.
[Also she has to wonder if he's half frozen right now. So she comes over and knocks.]
Vincent? It's me. Do you have frost in your hair...?

Door's unlocked.
[ He doesn't answer about the frost. Mostly because while he doesn't, he'll probably get a pat on the shoulder at least anyway. You know. Be on the safe side.
He's at the counter that divides the kitchen from the living room. The lights recessed over the counter are on, putting more light into the room than he usually sits in. Several sheets of paper are spread out on the counter and with a pencil in hand he's... sketching? ]
Come take a look. See if I understood.
[ This is perfectly ordinary behavior. ]

I think I'd just like a brown one.
[He'd be distracted by the green any time he looked down.]
All of ours at home were black. It got a little boring.

Then we'll get you a brown horse!
No boring chocobos or horses for us!

After you told me to always lock my door...
[She had to tease him a little as she came in, and comes over to touch his arm as she comes over and her eyebrows lift in surprise. She didn't realize he could draw.]
You had a great idea. This is very cute- he'll love it.

[ Vincent looks up and in a totally unrepentant way. ]
Should I have the Admiral put a door between our cabins instead of leaving the door unlocked when I'm expecting you?
[ Surely he can't be serious. But he'll continue on. Yes, he can draw. And apparently has an imagination. Aerith implied feminine, cute. And then matching. ]
Mm, good. Colors?
