[For reasons that Aerith was NOT going to go into, this post will be made in text format. She was a little ashamed of herself for having taken so long to making the announcement she was about to make, or try and make, but circumstances being what they were...

She fussed around for a minute or two before sighing to herself and just saying to hell with it, she should just do this. Sooner it was done the sooner maybe she could find answers...

Or just go into hiding.

That could also work!]

Hope everyone's days are going well!

For anyone who doesn't know me, my name's Aerith. For those who do know me, I have a little announcement? Uhm... I may have accidentally become engaged recently! I'm still in a little shock! But very happy!

I hope everyone can also share in my happiness.

Next I would like to inform everyone that I will be unavailable to see for the next week or so.

I am... sick. Highly contagious. No one is allowed near my home for a while! Thank you all for your understanding!

[That should do it! She hoped the first announcement would overshadow the last.

She hopes.]

[ He throws up a brow when she insists that he stay away. Or rather, everyone stay away... This wasn't like her. At least when she willingly gave herself up to save everyone else as the slums fell into disarray, it made sense. But even for being sick... Was she really so worried that he'd catch what she had? ]

Hard to imagine Sephiroth of all people getting sick...

[ Not that he doesn't believe her. It's just something else to wrap his head around. ]

It can happen! Last time it was because he was in prison and it had a power nulling effect that made him feel bad...

[It had worried her a lot, but Feanor, Verstael, Gladio and Tony had all promised to look after Sephiroth while she was outside and waiting. That hadn't stopped him from doing something stupid like shattering his hand though...]

He doesn't do being sick well. Another reason to keep away!

[sultanofsquat]

So it null & voided our enhancements...

[ Guess that makes sense, then. ]

Pretty sure I could handle a sick Sephiroth. [ But...considering that he was being trained by the man now, ] You keep an eye on him. Much as he keeps an eye on you.

[ He's ready to believe her. ... for now. Despite the fact he still wants to see her again. But he can wait. ]

[ancientflower]

Yeah. He really didn't like it.

I promise. I'm keeping a very close eye on him.

[And herself. Aerith was keeping a close eye on the both of them in case of any new changes...]

[sultanofsquat]

Better this Sephiroth and not... [ The one they once knew. ] Nevermind.

Call me if you need anything.

[ancientflower]

I know...

[She remembered. She also remembered being terrified the first time she had run into this Sephiroth. Remembered how confused he'd been, and how confused she had been each time he hadn't tried to kill her or manipulate her in some way. His kindness toward her had been a deep shock!]

I promise I'll call. Thanks, Cloud! I'll talk to you soon.
