[Having heard that the garden needs tending to, Aerith finishes her shower, returns to her room, gets changed, then looks out the window. She tsks to herself - whoever was in charge of the garden really did a shameful job last week - it's overrun with weeds, and some of the flowers that were very healthy are near death. It's a lot more

[Cloud had been happy to finally be on the ground once more. After taking a much needed shower, he decided to take Aerith's advice and explore the grounds, looking for a place that would be suitable for running. So far it seemed as though the idea of running around the property was the only option. The place really hadn't been built with fitness in mind.

He smiled to himself as he stood for a moment, letting the sun shine down on to his face, feeling as if it was warming his entire being. He hadn't realized how much he'd missed this. The smile was still on his face as he rounded a corner and the garden came into view, as well as they person who was tending it.]

Hey Aerith. Need some help?

[Aerith paused from tugging at a particularly stubborn weed and wiped the sweat from her forehead, then looked over at Cloud. Pleased to see him smiling, she beamed back at him.]

Sure, I'd love some. These weeds are tough!

[Gives her another small smile, because he has to admit she looks really adorable right at the moment. Slowly, he moves to kneel besides her, the half smile still on his face.]

Wow, it got really over grown in the last week didn't it?

[She nods, sitting back on her heels and surveying the garden with a rather disappointed look.]

It does this sometimes - I'll be out here tending for it one day, and the next, it'll be overgrown. I've never seen it this bad, though. This is what happens when we're away for a week, I guess.

[Ziva, having woken up considerably later than her roommate, toes out into the yard. Her feet bare and her cargo pants rolled up to her upper calf despite the fact that she appears freshly showered and clean. She spots Aerith and wanders over to her. Ziva finds herself overrun with her insecurities and she can't think of anything to say to her roommate, deciding instead to just stand by and watch.]

[Aerith keeps whistling, then senses eyes on her. She turns to see who's joined her, then grins broadly when she sees it's Ziva. She wonders briefly why Ziva didn't say anything, then shrugs. Probably just feeling quiet.]

Hi, honey! Isn't it so nice to be outside?

[ninjamalaproper]

[Ziva smiles a little and nods, tucking her hands into the pockets of her pants, wondering when their roles were reversed. She is the older one, shouldn't she be the one looking out for Aerith?]

It is.

[pianoflora]

Never thought I'd be so appreciative of dirt, you know?

[She turns back to the garden, pulling out a few more weeds. She's never been comfortable with silence, but she figures if Ziva has something to say, she will. Hopefully.]
