Characters: Delita, Aerith
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: Escorting Aerith to her friends
Location: Conde Petie to Lindblum
Date: January 1803
Warnings: TBD

It took Delita a while to find the item shop.  Added to the fact that he was unfamiliar with the village, he had tried to find them a ride out of the city. Unfortunately, it seemed that no airships were available in Conde Petie.  Having no desire to meet his companion without availability of a way out, he spent the afternoon asking the dwarves of any alternate routes. He would have arrived sooner if they had not shouted Rally Ho to every passerby.

Arriving in the item shop, it occurred to him that he had no idea what this Aerith even looked like. He was relieved to find the shop was filled mostly with dwarves, still he was hesitant to incorrectly identify the lady. Approaching a young lady, he quietly asked, "Aerith?"

Allowing a smile to spread across her lips, Aerith gazed at Delita with such fondness. He was a little different from most people, different because of his way of speech and mannerisms but deep down those subtle differences didn't matter much to her. He reminded her slightly of Cloud, a little more reserved and knightly but the resemblance was kind of there. He was also a little like Zack but again, Delita is much more reserved than either mercenary. The knight spoke with a certain flair that almost made Aerith a tad envious that she couldn't match his fanciful prose with some of her own. However, that envy she felt was more or less mild admiration for those who claim to hail from Ivalice.

"I was unhappy too, that's why my friends and I strive to make things better for our home." She replied with a little grin. While Aerith wasn't going to give Delita the full story, the abridged version was sure to come.

"A respite from the pain, I guess you could say that." Her thoughts strayed for a minute once that grin of her became a tad impish in nature.

"To seek a reprieve beyond the chaotic tides, to seek freedom beyond the tyrannical actions of less than noble men. Tis the respite I need." Aerith let out a boisterous laugh once she finished her little monologue. "S-sorry!" For someone who played a damn convincing 'Princess Rosa' within that goofy play at the Golden Saucer, Aerith didn't do half bad mimicking Ivalice speech.

"Ah, Delita. Have you ever been to Lindblum?"

Delita had not been surrounded by laughter since before the untimely demise of his sister. Rather than retreat into being recluse, he absorbed the fresh aura. He oft began to wonder how this companion of his was able to retain such lightness about her.

"You have acted in nothing that requires an apology.

I have resided temporarily in Lindblum. To see flying airships and Garden was a treat unlike those seen in my native Ivalice."

"A garden?" Arching her brow ever so slightly, Aerith pondered what exactly the knight meant by 'garden'. "Do you mean you've seen the gardens in Lindblum or do you mean something else?" Just hearing about the airships in the grand city almost made Aerith kick on her boots again and hit the road. She was always fond of Cid's planes and airships, especially that big ship that the ex-captain been working on for years prior to her arrival at Rocket Town.

"Mhm, the more I hear about Lindblum the more I wish I was already there." Knowing she wouldn't have any time for sight-seeing once she reached the capital, Aerith decided that after Denzel was all healed up that she would drag Zack along for an airship ride.

"An acquaintance of mine has a 'Garden' that has been flown between the lands. Less I be remiss in my explanation, it appears more a flying city to myself."

He had seldom stayed in one place any length of time since that event. It made it easier, if he was able to remain unattached. "We shall arrive in Lindblum soon and you will be free to explore the airships that await."
