Was talking about times to use the tranqs. I'll make sure she stays alive so you can handle her when you get back.
[ Vincent is sincere. Whatever his personal feelings, he'll keep his promise. ]
Only those three?
[ Yeah, there's some grim humor there. He knows how many people are fond of Aerith. He doubts it'll only be three that are up in arms. ]

Thanks. I mean- I'd like to use the tranqs before it goes that far. And I'd like to figure out the best punishment, rather than have people dog piling on her.
[Though his grim humor has her laugh quietly.]
I'm sure there's more. But those three would be the quickest and most brutal.
Thrawn might turn her into paste with his bare hands, but I'm not sure how he'd react, exactly. He can be unpredictable.
[Cloud and Collins...are more predictable in knowing they'd be fast and ready to give Katie a beat down. And the rest...she has no idea.]
But speaking of the gun- you don't think it'll be too heavy for me?

Feel free to call me any time.
[ You know. The kind you don't want someone else to punch Katie into paste over.
Vincent doesn't have any argument against Aerith's evaluation of the two three most likely to act viciously and quick. Therefore he moves on. ]
I've got a collection. You can come over when you have a minute. What have you been practicing with?
[ Vincent. Vincent you need to be careful. You actually sounded enthusiastic there a moment, almost. ]

I will. And I know if Cloud will be really upset if I die so...try to support him please?
[Since Cloud needs the emotional support and unlikely to seek it out.]
As for what guns- revolvers and pistols. Handguns. But I've been hoping to learn how to use rifles and shotguns.

Mm. I'll do what I can.
[ To support Cloud. Vincent is more than capable of coming out of his shell for the sake of his friends. ]
Good. For non lethal rounds you don't need a heavy weapon. Small and accurate is more than enough. I have a couple models. If they're too heavy we can make a request.
[ And the Enclosure is a great place to try out options. ]
If you want, I can spare time. For rifles and shotguns.
[ Though probably a bit excessive for the current purpose. ]

Thanks Vincent.
[She knew she could count on Vincent to make sure Cloud was okay. As for the guns...she laughed quietly.]
Okay. I've been working out, so maybe I should be okay? But we'll play with big guns later.
I think I need to come over and track Katie down.

Sooner is better than later with her.
[ He and his armory will be waiting. ]
[ He and his armory will be waiting. ]
Then I'll come over now, and find her after.
[Time to get armed and ready to rumble.]
[Time to get armed and ready to rumble.]
I couldn't usually get away with being gone that long.
[It was a balancing act, hiding without being missed.]
But if you can, yes.
[It was a balancing act, hiding without being missed.]

Too bad.
But maybe now...this is kind of nice. Wanna do it again sometime? Just to clear our heads?

It's the kind of thing the enclosure should be for, isn't it? You can feel a little stuck on a boat, even a very big, magic boat.
I think so too. Just....a way to stretch our legs and feel like we're moving somewhere.
It'll be nice to feel like we're not just on a magic boat.

It's not real fresh air, but it's a lot easier to pretend.
[He gathers up the reigns.]
Ready?
[He gathers up the reigns.]
Ready?
Yeah. And yes! I'm ready!
[She had the reins up and was ready to urge her chocobo on. They both needed to pretend for a little longer, see if it worked.]

Where are we racing to?
[He scans for a good landmark.]
That spot with all the flowers, maybe?

[ Vincent will never tell. Of course he won't have to, as she'll find out soon enough. What does he want to do now? Eyes are closed. His shoulders heave with a brief, quiet chuckle. ]
When I get back? Finish saving the world I guess. [ Flippant. But... oh is he not joking? A soft sigh comes out as though he were turning more serious. ]
I don't know. Learn about things that changed when I was asleep. [ Places like Rhadore just completely disappeared. Technology went forward. Yes it suffered a blow but it was more about finding alternate means of power generation than actually stepping back into the stone ages at least.
And there's parts of the world that have changed so drastically because of the proximity of mako reactors. ]
...I promised Nanaki I'd come meet him once a year at Midgar. Who knows? Maybe I'll check in on Yuffie.
[ From a distance. Joke's on him though; everyone will come looking eventually after that whole saving the world thing happens. But that's another story. ]

[He doesn't rush, but it's not too long before he shows up. While he doesn't look terrible it's clear that he has a lot on his mind and the smile he gives her as he approaches is distracted.]
Hey, you.
Hey, you.
Hey you.
[She lightly touched his arm, offering him a smile. His mind was somewhere else but...she wasn't going to push.]
Want some tea now or later?
[She lightly touched his arm, offering him a smile. His mind was somewhere else but...she wasn't going to push.]
Want some tea now or later?
Hmm...
The yellow ones? That'll work.
[She's already moving to get into position.]
On the count of three?

[Solving problems, learning backstory, saving the world. It'd be nice if things were okay.
Where he could just learn, explore, and see and...live a long life.]
I wasn't sure there was even a Midgar to go back to.
But I'm sure Yuffie would love the company. And Nanaki...he'd be happy to see someone who knows him.
Maybe...if we're lucky, Tifa's bar will be up and running. You can go in for a drink and...say it's 'not bad'.

[He matches her, leaning in a bit and adjusting his knees.]
One, two-
One, two-
-Three!
[And with a squeeze,e of her legs, she urges her chocobo into a gallop! Straight for that flower patch!]

[ Zack's first job on the Barge was working in the Greenhouse. He'd done it originally as a way of thinking about and honoring Aerith, but now he likes going during his downtime to help her. It's relaxing, and of course, he's more than happy to handle all the heavy lifting.
At some point, though, he decides to bring up a certain something on the network... ]
So... I saw your conversation with Lark. About a birthday party.
[ A beat. ]
Do you...actually want a big one?

I don't know if I want one at all. A party I mean. I just didn't want Father Vincent to feel...overwhelmed.
[It was relaxing, being in the Greenhouse with Zack. But the question had her sit back on her heels, and stare at the flowers.]
I mean...I kind of froze up when he called me popular.
And...do dead people really get older? I'm kinda all mixed up about that.
Especially when we didn't get to celebrate your birthday either.

[Wen Ning shows off a little, urging the horse to rear a little into a showy jump. It's been a long time! He'd rather have fun than win.
But better to do both.]
