 "..Are you certain this is what you want to do? I know that I do not know you as well as the others, though I can see fighting doesn't suite you. There are plenty of warriors, all capable of their own unique skills. What we don't have, is as many healers. You are a kind girl, with your own unique abilities to help when our friends are injured. I do not like violence, I would prefer never to have to fight, but I will continue to do so to protect those I care for. I think you should stay as you are, that is what makes you so special! " Eirika and Hana were in their own little world of conversation, having stumbled upon each other at the church sometime ago, and began to talk ever since. "..You think so? ....I don't feel that way, honestly..I feel like I don't do enough, that there is more I can do. If I have to learn to pick up a real weapon to be of more help, shouldn't I do it? ..Everyone is so talented, my brother is a God with his own incredible power, and i'm just......me. I don't feel quite so special, or useful to anyone..In fact, I think I make things worse when I do try to help..." Against everyone else who was obviusly so much more incredible at..everything they did, Hana just continued to sink into doubting herself more. If she was so great, couldn't she of stopped everyone from being taken? So many thoughts rushed around her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more down she felt..
[[ooc: Will probably continue this later..]]

  "Hee,hee. This is great! So useful to have someone who can teleport! This will be fun, even more so if you help! Come on, Sephriea. She will love these coming from you so much more, I bet you didn't know how special you are to Aerith and Zack..You're like a second daughter to them! " She said with a big smile.She was lucky Sephriea wasn't so smart in piecing things together, otherwise she could have easily questioned what she meant, the 'second' daughter. As far as Sephriea was aware, Aerith had no daughter at all with Zack. "Anyway, come on..Let's pick a few of the prettiest flowers here. Then we'll bundle them up and decorate it into a beautiful bouquet of her favorite flowers.." She knew Aerith was wondering about the health of the garden in the church,so seeing them might bring a little happiness to her. "Then after this, we'll head to Banora. " She nodded, soo determined to do something nice for her two oblivious parents. This was kind of fun to her, a sort of adventure, really. And with Sephriea there, she wouldn't have to worry about a thing!
Sephriea looked at her with emotionless eyes, it was a wonder if she could EVER feel any real emotion, it seemed this was a small test of Ariel's as well, to see if maybe she could get something of a happy emotion out of the dead teenager! " ...Why? .." She didn't really move from the spot she stood since they appeared there in the church. "..I don't know what to do. " She always felt so confused, so lost, by everything anyone did. Nothing really seemed to bring her a step closer to understanding life, or emotions, for that matter. She didn't know feelings, emotions.. "It's okay..This is why you should spend time with me. I think I can help you with these empty emotions. You just, um, need to experience fun things, something has to trigger something. I'm going to help you as much as I can. While everyone is busy at the Island, this will be my new task. My mission! Make -everyone- happy! " Okay, not everyone, but definitely Aerith, Zack and Sephriea for now. Minerva too, of course, but she was quite busy doing her meditation thing, and seemed to want to be left alone...which made Ariel very bored and restless, and soon that lead to this.

  Once again, the doors would open gently, and so very politely, as a familiar young man would stroll into the run-down place of religion. Having found himself in the neighborhood from chasing a certain somebody around, he felt Ariel's presence and decided to come and say hello. "It's a pleasure to see you, Ariel. You look lovely as always!" It was hard to compare to how genuine Reiner was when he gave compliments. There really never was any ulterior motives, he just wanted to make people's days better! "Minerva tasked me with watching Aiko, and I know where she is currently--I can tune in to her presence well enough. I don't want to disturb her though, so I'm keeping my distance. When I felt you here, I wanted to come say hello." His steady smile finally found its way to the silver-haired girl, and only widened. "Hello, I don't think we've met yet. You're Sephriea, aren't you? My name is Reiner. It's a pleasure to meet you!" He would extend his hand to shake hers, but he worried that might make her uncomfortable, or... she might not even know what he was trying to do. "You two are gathering flowers, are you? Do you need any help?" Ah Reiner, always eager to lend a hand even if he got nothing out of it. Just look at him spending his entire day keeping an eye on Aiko!

Ariel turned to the doors, as gently as he opened them, they were still quite old, and even opening them as gently as he did, they still made a bit of noise! A smile came to her features as she noticed the teal-haired prince making his way inside. "Oh, hi Reiner! " She seemed rather excited suddenly. She REALLY wanted to help Sephriea, but,gosh darn it. It wasn't easy talking to someone who was as emotionless as a rock. Ariel was very energetic, and even more talkative. Reiner was the perfect person to have come through those doors! "Hehe, Why thank you. You're looking as handsome as always." She beamed, returning the compliment right back at him. Much like Reiner, Ariel didn't tend to flirt, or tell lies. She didn't even like to make up lies for the sake of protecting someone, it just always felt so bad. "Oh, did she? Ha,ha..You might be very busy for a while then." Aiko could go on forever in trying to avoid people, she could be quite the independant one. "...I'm..Sephriea.. " She said with that same blank expression on her face,looking at him a moment, before her deep mako-blue green eyes drifted to his hand in which was extended to her. She just...stared at it. Clearly confused! "..Ah, he,he...Don't mind Sephriea..she's..um, well...learning. I thought, while everyone had been so busy, I wanted to surprise ..certain people with gifts, and I thought since Sephriea can teleport, it could be something we can both do for fun. So here we are, about to gather these flowers. I plan to bring Aerith a bouquet of these flowers from both of us, and then go to Banora for Zack's favorite treat. The Banora White. I'm going to get a bunch and bring them back too. I wonder if he really does like them? It's something I heard them talk about once.." What a question that was! "Do you want to come with us? Maybe we can convince Aiko to come along and we can all try this famous 'apple' I heard so much about! " She grinned, seemingly amused at something. "They call it the dumbapple too. Isn't that silly?! "

"How kind of you to say!" Even though Reiner didn't see himself as appealing to look at, especially compared to his siblings and parents! Still, he wasn't going to turn down the compliment and make her uncomfortable. "Oh well, not like I have anything better to do anyhow." Even in his own time, he often found himself without pressing duties. Those were often left in the hands of Solaris and Constantine if not his parents. He would be happy to be relied upon more, but he understood why things were as they were. Capable he may be, he wasn't as capable as them yet. He had to work on it. "You have a lovely name, Sephriea. We should spend more time together!" Getting her out of her shell might not be a simple task, but it was certainly one he would be up to. "You probably express yourself best through battle, right? When you want to, I'd be happy to spar with you. I expect you'll be able to defeat me, but I'm rather skilled too!" He was a bit modest with his fighting ability, he was certainly not lacking in that department. Though he of course thought he had a long way to go, and admittedly, he likely did. "Oh, really? I hadn't heard of this dumbapple before. That is an interesting name! I am curious. I'd love to go, especially if we can convince Aiko to come too." He certainly didn't want to leave her behind, even if she didn't want to be around him particularly!

"I am the definition of 'kind' after all! " She said with a playful grin, it was rather funny, they both were pretty much the perfect example of kindness, it was amazing they were not the best of friends, kind, maybe even a little naïve, and also, so full of energy to talk for hours on end. Possibly why they both didn't always get the most of company! "We'll keep each other company then, this'll be fun! " Even with Sephriea there. "..Lovely..is that ..what you call a good thing? ...a..compliment? Others here don't like it. I don't think..'It sounds like a monster.'" She repeated the words she heard coming from citizens who were not happy about her presence, she often heard these whispers as she wandered the city. "..I think the people here don't like me.." It was no joke, the people of Midgar wanted her out, but at the same time, they weren't all to brave to force her out. They were afraid of her for a reason! "..I'm not like you..." She paused a moment, as if trying to think. A bit of a improvement on her part, she did seem to be trying. But it wasn't exactly an easy task. "..I'm not...fun.I think..you both are in danger just talking to me. People here might not like you too.." For talking to her, of course. For befriending her. Sephriea was completely oblivious to the fact that she was showing concern for others!
"..Do I? ..I don't know. I think..? ...I think I enjoy battle....The arena here..I spend a lot of time there.." It was no wonder she wasn't very liked in the city, her there daily just showed she was just as dangerous as they thought she was, of course, they figured her to be following in someone's darkly footsteps, too.. Ariel giggled, it was so amusing to hear to hear the oh-so-elegant prince there say the actual word, 'dumbapple'. Maybe she really was the dumb one? ...maybe....yeah. Probably! "Okay! Where is she? I will try to convince her to come along. If we all go to her she might get suspicous and really take off..:"

"I could only aspire to match your level of benevolence, mademoiselle." Reiner responded cheerfully, matching her energy as per usual. Between these two, it was hard to have much negativity in the room. Add Autumn and it would be quite the sight to behold. "Of course, it would be my honor!" An honor for the prince to escort two girls with no royal blood. But, Ariel was an Ancient, which was definitely more unique than being royalty. Sephriea's blood was also certainly unique. "Of course! I wouldn't worry about what other people say. Once they get to know you, they'll see just how charming you are!" Yes, she was certainly the picture of charm, wasn't she? "Well, I certainly like you, so that takes one person off the list of anyone who might dislike you. Just being around you makes me feel happier. I'd love to spend more time witth you, if you don't mind, of course." He was aware of why people may fear her, but he obviously didn't feel the same. Though he also didn't think calling everyone who feared her an idiot or something was a very productive line of thinking. There was a reason for their fears, as unfair as it was to her. All she had to do was prove she wasn't like that. "Danger is my middle name! Well, that isn't true. I only have one name... But more importantly, I'm not intimidated by danger. Even if you were to hurt me, I wouldn't mind. I've been through plenty, and I can take it. It might even be fun!" It probably wouldn't be fun, but he might learn a thing or two if it happens. So, could be worse. "Well, if you do, let's fight sometime. If not, let's do something else. There are many ways we can have fun! If you'd like, I'd be glad to show you."
