Natsumi's evil smile vanished and she just stood there. Taking the necklace and staring down at it. She could feel it... But she could not see it...
"Ruby..." she spoke in a soft calm voice.
She may have not been able to see it... But she could sense what it was. Her shades melted into her skin as if apart of her body. With her metal eyes she just stared at the necklace that was in her hand...
Natsumi never in her life recieved a gift before, it was a weird feeling... Her hand holding it trembled as she gripped the necklace tightly in her hand. It was hard to decide what she was feeling.
"Thank... You..." she spoke in a small whisper.

Aerith watched the man in silence, following him closely as he walked to the pew, Just incase anything bad might of happend.Once he was laying down,and drifted off to a sound sleep,Aerith turned to Petal once more.
Walking away from the area he had been in, as to let him sleep she headed over to where Petal was. So busy..
"Sorry about that,again. " She managed a small smile "Umm. May I ask how you know of me?" Everyone seemed to know her, oddly enough most of those people she didn't even know herself! It was rather strange.
~~~~
"Yes, thats right.." She paused, watching her reaction. Now if only she could actually SEE it, that would of been nicer. Well, that time would come soon enough.
"Hey, When you have your eye sight back, then you can tell me how you like it, okay?" There was a short pause. "Oh, and..your welcome..So! You still want to go to the bar?"

The woman merely smiled and waved off the apology. It didn't matter at all, one way or another. An injury was far more important that a stranger. She flipped her braid over her should and stood again, moving so quickly it was hard to see her rise.
"My world knows of you Aerith. As to why.. if I told you, i'm afraid you'd know far more of the future than you need to know at this time. Our seers have told us what will happen, and so I came to find you. Not to bring you anywhere, because you have your free will, nor to protect you as I know you can do that on your own. Merely to see the woman who is so important. In fact, I just wanted to meet you. Now I have."
Petal bowed low to the Cetra, her white braid flipping over her shoulder and she stooped. Petal sighed in frustration and flipped it back over her shoulder as she rose. It was such a apin, having such long hair. Then again, Aerith had the same.
"In any case, i'm pleased to meet you, as I said before, and i'm honoured."

Natsumi shook her head slightly. She even forgot about the bars and killing. It was like a moment of being sane. But who knew how long 'that' would last for. She put the necklace away in her pocket and stared up at the night sky. She was completely silent.

Aerith just stared in her direction.Some other world, Aerith hadn't known of, knew of her? Again, HOW did everyone know her? Was she really -that- special? Sure. The Cetra were the very first inhabiters of the planet, It belonged to them, So forth, this planet was somewhat..to her belonging.Being the last of the cetra, it was inherited to her.
Even so, she didn't feel that special. In all truth, she just wanted to be treated as everyone else. She wasn't very used to all this atention she had been getting lately,though, she loved makeing new friends and meeting others.And with the kind heart the women had, she could never get angry about it.
As Petal had brought a mention of her future, she began to wonder. What was going to happen? Nothing like before,she hoped...She didn't need to die two times. "Can you at least tell me, if its good, or bad?" Was her only question she had for the women, hopeing she hadn't seemed rude in asking such a question. But it was her future, she diserved to know something.
Wisking away her thoughts, those emerald green orbs rested back upon the white haired women.Blinking slightly, a soft giggle escaped the cetra. "Long hair can be such a bother, Can't it?" She calmly stepped foward, holding out a hand as if to greet her. "Im very greatfull to meet you, Petal!"

Marth fell off the pew, but he landed on his hands and knees before standing looking much better than before. "Ah...I feel refreshed!"

Finally arriving at the base of the mountains near Junon, Korangar lowered himself into a crouch, then shook his cloak so that it was spread around him and not obstructing his movements. Glancing upward, he leapt, shooting up the side of the slope. Before long, he reached a hand up and gripped the precipice, flipping himself up and over, before dropping into the valley that bordered Midgar. As he fell, he altered his position so that he was diving head-first toward the ground below. Before he hit the ground, his body angled up, and he sped away from the mountains, quickly closing the distance between the city and himself. Tilting up just a little further, he cleared the outer wall that enclosed the slums, then abruptly stopped in midair, his arms and legs loosening, and his cloak billowing around him, and then, closing his eyes, he dropped to the ground, landing in a kneeling position, his cloak, again, draping into a pool around him.

Petal shook her head slightly. She wasn't a seer on her planet but she did have some insight. She could occasionally read what others were thinking, though the gift only came to her at certain times. The tall woman wondered how Aerith didn't know how special she was, but then again, if it were Petal, she wouldn't even want to know.
"It is neither good nor bad Miss. Gainsborough. Though I can guess what you are thinking, and you won't die again. Do not worry about that. That I will see too personally."
She grinned and winked that pale blue eye of hers, the green one never leaving the cetras face.
"A bother I don't want, but we cannot cut out hair in my tribe, so i'm stuck with it!"
With that, the Hyaline heard a whinny from outside, her Naarl was getting impatient, as if something had disturbed her. Her mind flicked over to the Naarl, her pale blue eye lighting up and glowing brightly. She was raised with Melamena and the two could communicate no matter where they both were, or how far from one another. Her eye dimmed after she had spoken with her beast and she looked to Aerith again.
"There wouldn't be a place I could leave my Beast for the night and rest around here would there? It's been a long journey.."

Aerith remained where she stood,watching the young women as she spoke with her.She was just happy to talk with another girl, And this lady seemed very sweet and proper, just like herself.So it seemed the two girls had a lot in commen!
"Oh, Please call me Aerith. Hee-hee! It sounds to formal. I feel as though I should be seated on a throne of some sort." She laughed softly at her sad little joke.Aerith wasn't the best jokester!
"Well.." She still wanted to know, but it was ovious she wasn't going to be getting any answer.So as to not be a bother, she decided not to ask anymore questions about it.
"But, What about you? Is there any reason you came here? Im sure it wasn't just to meet me! "
Then she had to answer in regards to the long hair, couldn't ignore that now could she? "They dont let you cut your hair? How strange! Its your hair, I think you should be able to do what you want with it." But this was there world, things must of been a lot diferent.
Her atention was soon deverted toward the doorway of the church, hearing the strange noise comeing from outside. She glanced once more back to Petal. "Well, What kind of...'beast' is it? Is it violent? Would it like to stay in a stable? We have a chocobo stable, That it might be able to stay in!"

In fact, the two were alike for a reason. Her tribe had raised her to be the woman she was so that she would have a lot in common with the Cetra. After all, they always knew the two would meet.
"Aerith then, if you prefer it!" The white haired girl giggled. "If my people had anything to say about it, you would be seated on a throne.. but that's another matter.
She smiled again, only the smile was much sadder than it should have been. She tried to hide this by shrugging her shoulders, her hair shimmering as some of it loosened from her thick braid as she shook her head.
"Actually, it was just to meet you. I have no other reason to be here Mi.. err Aerith.. except that. And.. to ask if you would allow me to travel with you awhile."
The sad smile was forgotten as she tilted her head to one side, her green and blue eyes wide in disbelief. She was astounded Aeriths people were so differnt than hers, but she had been told that nothing would be the same in this world.
"To cut my hair would disgrace them. Until the proper time, you see. It's really a long story!" She laughed, the sound like a bell. She had a beautiful laugh.
"Melamena? Why she's a.. let's see.. what could I compare her too.. why don't you just come out and see her yourself? I'm sure she'd like to meet you."

Marth floated up a bit, his eyes wandering around slowly. "Meh...Something is near..." He said quietly, the sound of a human sized mech's stomps could be heard. "It's a sentinel...Why is it here though?"

Aerith giggled softly.She actaully that the whole throne part she had spoken of was a continued joke from hers. "Uh huh!"
Though her cheerfull mood seemed to fade just faintly, as she noticed Petals smile become saddend.This only caused the cetra to not exactly beleive that was all to the story. Something was left out, something she didn't want to say. But was it right for her to push her into answering it?Probably not. She did have her own reasons, something Aerith had to respect.If she didn't want to speak about it, then,that was it.
"Oh, Okay! I'd love to meet her,then!" She turned slowly,motioning for her to go first. "I guess you should go first, I'll follow!"
"La la la..." Yuffie hummed quietly, hopeing down from large scrap metal junk that just happend to be laying in the area. "And a one! and'a two! "Midgar~Midgar~ Why are you so dirrrrtyyyy~ I wa---AHHH!" A peice of metal she jumped on wasn't very suported to hold up a human, so instead of staying up,it clatterd to the ground. Yuffie however,flipped up off the peice of scrap metal and landed........
Right infront of the beastly thing.She blinked,stumbleing as she got herself to stand.Only to be stareing into two blue eyes of some white faced creature.Err. It looked like a horse, and had antelope ears.Yuffie screeched and jumed about a few feet away from it. "AHH! What is that!!"

Marth went out as fast as he could when he heard Yuffie's shout, his sword was drawn out and he was ready. He stopped when he saw the beast and sighed, sheathing the blade. "Err...I'm guessing that's Petal's....Eh!!! I have to repay Aerith for letting me rest!" @__@

Petal turned on her heel to leave the room, noticing that Aerith had seen the sadness in her smile. She was glad the woman was so respectful, because any questions she may have asked, she couldn't have answered now.
"Alright, follow me. She's just waiting outside."
Melamena however was not half as calm as her friend inside. She was staring at some fast moving human that had startled her near out of her wits. She reared up on her back legs, her whinny shocked and surprised. As she dropped back down onto all fours, she narrowly missed crushing Yuffie with her cloven hooves.
"!!.. Don't sneak up on a beast like that!"
Melamena shook her head violently, her black mane shimmering in the dim light. She backed up slowly, lowering her head and keeping her eye on the human. She snarled then, showing off impressive canine teeth. Something rather unusual in a beast such as herself, but Naarl were predators, not prey.
"Who do you think you are! I'm not a what. The better question is WHO am I, not what. And who in the seven hells of Abinlo are you?"
((I've got to go to sleep now... back to work for me.))
