The flowers... have something to say to us. Whether it's about ourselves or themselves, it's just as important. So, always makes sure to listen to them... and talk to them.
[ Takes two to hold a conversation. ]
Sorry. Anyway, you should remember that pothos grow a lot, so you'll need to repot it eventually. Are you planning to get any pets?
No, I couldn't devote the time necessary to one. Plants are about the extent of what I trust myself to handle.
[a pet needs love, attention, care that she could give, but she doesn't want to neglect any aspect. to get too involved in her work and leave them behind. better that she only visit with a living creature who needs more than light, water, and a little conversation.]
But really, Aerith...there's nothing to apologize for.
[ Her tone is far to chipper for such a statement. But she makes no attempt to respond to Emily's reassurance: She wouldn't understand if Aerith explained it. She knows it— or maybe she's just adjusting, still, and falling back on what's comfortable and easy for her. ]
