Yo, Aerith! Important question for you!

Do you think shrimps are bugs?

[everblooms]

I think a better question is what your measure of bugs is?

[activatingcombatmode]

Wiggly legs, weird eyes, crunchy bodies. I think it checks. Mostly.

[everblooms]

"Mostly" is the key point, right? Because bugs don't have meat on them. But shrimp do!

[activatingcombatmode]

Are we sure bugs don't have meat on them?

[everblooms]

We can make sure. Since you brought it up, you can do it.

[activatingcombatmode]

Whoa whoa, hold on!

What kind of land bugs are we talking here?

[everblooms]

The ocean dwelling kind. Remember?

[activatingcombatmode]

I'll eat shrimp and lobster. That I can do.

Land beatles... If it's for the science. Sure. Okay.

[everblooms]

Wait! So you think shrimp and beetles are comparable?

[ HES SUCH A GUY!!! ]

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah, maybe. They both check off all those things. Wiggle. A lot of legs. Crunchy bodies?

[everblooms]

It's called a carapace. Both shrimps and beetles do have them, but I think a more comparable bug is a caterpillar.

Which you're not eating!

[activatingcombatmode]

A caterpillar... That makes sense.

But why not? How are we going to be able to tell the difference if I don't eat them?

[everblooms]

How often do you eat shrimp?

[activatingcombatmode]

I didn't eat it much before but here? Like at least once a week?

[everblooms]

Really? Where's your favorite spot?

[ Will he take the bait? She wonders... ]

[activatingcombatmode]

There's a half decent place on Eltrut's boardwalk! When I'm on Elah I don't get a chance to go as much.

You wanna go?

HEY! Pipsqueak! I just realized somethin'!

...That thing with the airgliders, you TRICKED me, didn't ya?!

[Harkening back to an event that happened almost two months ago...]

[everblooms]

[ Talk about slow! Not that she's forgotten already, but... He's just catching up? Slowest horse in the race, honestly. It's hilarious. ]

You really think I'd do that that to you?

[minorinpain]

[It came to him in a moment of clarity while he was eating his lunch. Something about the spiciness of his fifth bowl of curry must have really got his brain working.]

Hey, don't get cute with me! You knew I never had any wires, didn't ya?

[BECAUSE SERIOUSLY WHERE WOULD THEY BE HANGING FROM AERITH. This was the earth-shattering revelation the curry sent him.]

You just acted like you thought I did so you could get me to win that race for ya!

[everblooms]

[ The most important part of this is: ]

You think I'm cute? [ lmao irl ]

[minorinpain]

An' another thing w-wait what. What are talkin' about?

[This conversation suddenly detoured down an alley Nappa was not expecting it to go, and he's having trouble keeping up.]

[everblooms]

[ just call her aerith "detours and distractions" gainsborough. ]

You're the one that said cute. Maybe I'm just not done having fun with you, yet.

[minorinpain]

[Nappa sputters. This went much differently in his head.]

N-No! I said don't get cute! You're doin' that thing with your words again!

A-Anyway, I'm a Saiyan, we don't have fun! [Okay even Nappa knows that's bullshit.] I mean, fighting is how we fun! Have fun! Fighting and winning! Which I definitely did, without any wires neither!

[RIGHT THAT'S WHERE THIS STARTED.]

[everblooms]

[ he's so easy to torment... ]

That's right, we won. I had a lot of fun. Thanks for showing me how a Saiyan has a good time.

[minorinpain]

...Yeah! And uh...don't ya forget it!

[A few moments pass while Nappa tries to figure out if he won or not before settling on, yeah he did. Probably. No harm in bein' a little magnanimous, she seems like she learned her lesson. Probably.]

You're...welcome...?

[everblooms]

[ oh, he certainly did beat her at her own game! tifa needs to hear about this asap. nimona, too. ]

We should win something together again soon!

[pinksidekicking]

[ Shortly after Nimona receives a certain video, Aerith is getting a call. ]

Hi, it's Nimona! Good job on getting Cloud to do your bidding, he's totally willing to do anything you ask him. Will you please teach me your secrets?

delivery;

[activatingcombatmode]

[On the day of her birth!! Aerith might walk out of her cabin on the ship to see a giant wooden and glass terrarium sitting there. It's huge. Like, it's massive. Bigger than what that picture shows. It can hold a couple of rose bushes or more inside of it. It's so she can grow whatever she likes while they're on the move as a ship. And if she looks inside carefully she'll find a little toy gnome hidden in there too.]

There's a note,]

To a girl worth more than all the flowers in the world! Now you'll be able to have as many as you want with you while we're on the water. Who knows, maybe we can make a business out of this too, right? Happy birthday.

-Z

Some perfectly gnormal gnomes for your garden to always remember this year's birthday fun.
