"We could, but I would prefer to do it our way. The Admiral has so much on
his hands and we are all so very talented," he explains. "I know we can all
work on it."
"Mm. I'd rather do it our way anyway. It feels...better when we say we've done it ourselves, you know? Hard work paying off." She leaned her head against his shoulder. "We'll figure something out."
He laughs softly. "Aerith, you are exceptionally complimentary. But good. Do you want to explore the room a little more? I want to know where you'd like to put plants."
She looked up at him, her smile growing. It was very tempting to blush when he looked at her like that. Or...did anything, really.
"Oh yes." She said in semi mock seriousness. If she didn't keep sneaking peeks up at him, it would have been believable. "It's a good way to fall asleep. With your partner, looking at plants in bed."
"Oh yes? Would you like to try it?" he wonders, taking a step back and kissing her fingers. "We could see where your wants align with what we can do here."
"I think that'd be a good idea. If you're not busy for awhile." Her smile was soft. "Because I think we'll want to see what we can do, and what we want to do."
"Yes, of course. And I am so curious to know how comfortable the bed is for you," he says, pulling her close, an arm around her waist as he tries to walk them both back towards it.
He guides them both to the bed and sits down, pulling her close against him. "Oh yes. I have heard that pillows are necessary. I have included two. In case you needed them. Or - if you needed another person."
"I remember that. When you told me you couldn't sleep well." He moves away from her and stands up, taking off his coat and draping it over one of the chairs before. His boots are next, set to the side before he sits on the bed properly and holds his arms out for her.
Aerith slips off her boots, her socks, before sliding over into Sym's arms, onto his lap to embrace him.
"It's better what I did before. It was...much more dangerous. I've asked the Admiral to make sure I couldn't be mentally influenced in any way because of it."

He holds her close, steady and firm. "We will have these mushrooms growing in no time. With lights, too."
He turns, gently brushing his nose against her hair. "I am so glad I found you."
no subject
"I'm glad you found me too. And not just for mushrooms and lights."
She rubbed her fingers against his side. "That's just a bonus." She was teasing, just a little.

"Mm...are you feeling any better?" he wonders, standing up and taking her hand.

"Plants? Oh! Then- I need to go over the whole room and look at what we have! We might need to set up some moon blooming flowers at least!"

"And, ah...we may want to...see the view from the bed sometime?"

He grins.
"Well, is it the plants you will be looking at from there? Especially if I join you?"
no subject
"Oh yes." She said in semi mock seriousness. If she didn't keep sneaking peeks up at him, it would have been believable. "It's a good way to fall asleep. With your partner, looking at plants in bed."

For decorating. Of course.

"Uh huh. It's good for head support." She stroked his thigh. "Do you mean...needed for another person? Like you?"

He shivers, letting her touch where she wants, glad to simply have this moment with her.

It didn't have to go anywhere. It would be wonderful if it did, but she was happy just touching him, being near him. Having this time with him.
"My siblings and I sometimes sleep in the same bed, but...most of the time, one is a cat. The other, it's in his bed."

"I see so many benefits to sharing a bed. With family or - the one you're dating," he says. "Mm, can I hold you here?"

In fact, she scooted closer so their legs touched. "Yes please. We can sit up, or lie down while you do it, if you'd like."
no subject
"I am glad you found something that helped."

"It's better what I did before. It was...much more dangerous. I've asked the Admiral to make sure I couldn't be mentally influenced in any way because of it."

He slides down and holds her there, lying in the new, comfortable bed together.
"What happened?" he wonders. "You did not elaborate last time."
