Aerith opened the doors to what she assumed was still empty, having been abandoned for so long, taking a few steps in before she would even glance ahead to the flowers so precious to her. But her steps would come to a complete stop, and her form froze there for a long moment. Old ghosts, visions coming to her here? ....No, it was hardly any ghost and certainly not her mind playing tricks on her. The light of the windows caught the mirrored finish of the frightening long katana, gleaming off the steel of the blade. The sound his boots made against the old wooden floors, even the leather of his long coat, all these sounds came to the obvious conclusion that the one standing there, was truly the worlds most terrifying enemy of the past, Sephiroth.
And then he spoke, and Aerith's mind was completely thrown off! "..." For once in a long time, she found herself speechless. How should she react? It wasn't like her to judge a person, but, this was hardly just some regular person. She took a breath, letting her mind process this as quickly as possible. She was back, Zack was back. There was nothing to say Sephiroth wouldn't come back too, but it was hardly as she expected, had he also been returned to life. His attitude was not full of rage, his eyes seemed puzzled, rather then filled with blood-lust. He seemed...as a normal man. Was his memories completely wiped upon his return, or was it temporarly? It seemed far to long that she stood there, unresponsive to his questions. Did she really want to start this new chance meeting on bad terms? Hardly! "...N-no..I come here often to take care of the flowers.." She began to say. "I'm sorry..I don't know what may of happened to you.." She shook her head softly. "It's okay! You may stay..." What was she doing? "You aren't in my way. " She smiled, trying to be as welcoming as she could, she really was to kind. "...I..I don't think so..I'm Aerith.." Was that a good idea? If it was some form of amnesia, keywords triggering his own memories could be a pretty bad result! Of course she wasn't thinking of that right now. "...Can I ask you one thing? ...You're weapon, would you mind maybe, placing it over there? " She would feel a lot better if at least she didn't see the Masamune anywhere near her.
There was so many problems right now. She could not let Cloud see him, nor did she want him to just...walk around Midgar so casually. It wasn't just dangerous for his possibly fragile mind, but dangerous for them as well. "..Will you stay here a little while..? " What else could she do?

Sephiroth"All that you know could be an illusion." "..." The man standing here without his former identity had little to say as she was so unresponsive for so long. "...I see. I need to leave regardless. I must find what I'm missing." His purpose, his memories. There was something he should be doing... or something important he forgot... and he had to find it. "...Very well. I would give you my name, but I don't remember it." Might be for the best, for now at least. As she asked him to put his weapon down, he glanced down at the katana held backhanded, before looking back at her. "...I will not." He was far from comfortable enough to disarm himself here. This woman seemed sincere, but how was he to know if that was true? No... he would keep his weapon."Hell-llo, Aerith? Weren't even gonna tell me-?!" Zack's eyes widened as they came upon the second one here in the church, quickly moving in front of Aerith protectively as his hands went to the Buster Sword at his back. "What are you doing here?!""...I was just leaving." Sephiroth considered that a strange reaction to seeing him, but what did he know? He had some sort of amnesia."Huh...?" At this point, Aerith had probably mentioned he had amnesia. Zack could scarcely believe it, but with Sephiroth about to leave, he knew as well as Aerith he couldn't just walk around Midgar. "Hey, wait...!" Sephiroth stopped, turning slightly. "... We live in a pretty nice mansion, why don't you come and see?" This was a terrible idea. Cloud was still there. And so was Tifa! Zack and Aerith here were probably the only two people from this world who lived in that mansion who wouldn't immediately attack Sephiroth on sight. But what else could they do? Just keep him in this church forever?"No. I have matters to attend to." Sephiroth responded simply, turning to leave once again.Well, that didn't work out. Probably for the best. "Well, hey! Just... uh, everyone in this city has gone crazy! Like, lasers shooting out of their eyes, and a hunger for flesh! Uh... human flesh! It's insane! So... just, try to avoid anyone, and get out of the city quickly.""..." Sephiroth had a feeling he was being lied to, but... it seemed important to this person, for whatever reason. "...Very well.." He said simply, turning and making his way out of the church at last."..." Zack let out a heavy sigh. "Well, that was stressful." Just the idea that someone in Midgar could recognize him, and that might lead him to remembering things... yeah, stressful. "...We should probably tell Cloud about this." Zack said, turning to face Aerith as he did. "And the others... This is a pretty big opportunity here, if he really does have amnesia. If they start attacking him next time we see him, who knows what could happen?"(( OOC: ))

"...Would you..like me to come with you? " It was hard to believe she would be so okay with being alone with the man who brought her life to an end one year ago, but she wasn't going to blame him for it. It wasn't all his fault, and she knew that from the beginning. This now, was just a new beginning, at least it was how she wanted to think of it. His memories were gone, and while that may of been a horrible thing for most people, for him, it couldn't be any better. If she could help him, maybe he would be more reachable, more willing to live a better life. "..O-okay.." She said nervously, she may not be able to disarm him, and worse, the people outside seeing him like this, how terrified they would most certainly become.
As if matters couldn't get worse, there came Zack's voice as he came into the church. This was her biggest worry of all, how would he react?...Exactly as she thought he would! "...It's alright..! " She tried to say quickly, gently placing her hand on Zacks shoulder to calm him. Luckily, she was able to explain quietly the situation, enough to avoid a unnecessary battle. With the ...overly amusing scare-tactic, Aerith had to really control herself from giggling. Why did Zack always have that affect? Even in such a situation, he could lighten the mood effortlessly. It may of been a little silly, though! After Sephiroth finally left through the church doors, she nodded in response to Zack's plan. "...I worry about this plan, too..Cloud..He might take this less calmly as we have. You may need to stay close to the door, to block his path if he tries to look for him! "

  Someone with long chestnut brown hair might end up a little angry had she seen someone laying in the bed of flowers. At least, until she realized who it was, maybe then she wouldn't be quite so upset. It didn't help how very peaceful the silver-haired teenager seemed as she slept there. Sephriea wasn't a soft person, she had a LOT of issues, but something about this place put her into such a peacefulness she didn't even realize it herself. The fact that her rather large sword was leaning against the wall behind her, a slight distance away, showed how peaceful she must have felt. Knowing her, she didn't understand what she was feeling though.
After a moment, something caused her to stir a little and turn, only to have one of the flower pedals stick to her face as she continued her little nap..
