  Hands pressed to hips— lips pressed together— Aerith’s body language speaks louder than her tone. There is irritation in the curve of her shoulders. There is impatience in the tap of her heel. No movement is made to retrieve her groceries, and she allows Naminé to collect them in her arms like blossoms.

          A pause.

                                                               Asking after what could come later.
