Tendi is bad at taking care of herself. But the boys trust her. And Wen Qionglin would and has helped me with his healing, and I know Hakkai would too.
Ulla can sing me better. Zerxus has powerful magic. Florian saved me before too.
I'm glad...Cloud trusts Tendi.
[She needs to ask Zack what healers he trusts. It could be very important.]
[ But yes, he has noticed Tendi often burns the candle at both ends. It's good to hear there are so many healers that can and are willing to support Aerith. She's certainly got her own personal team by the sound of it. Still mention of a certain name sparks a memory. ]
Yeah. I left you in Florian's care... during the retreat from the Narrenschiff. [ And the infirmary. ] ...Meant to apologize about that.
[ Even if it wasn't something that could be helped at the time. He needed to set up defenses. She needed to be treated. He shakes his head and strives to move on. ]
Sorry. [ For dragging up something else that he feels he is to blame for. ]
...Feel free to come over when you feel up to it. I'll find something good in the lounge. Or request something from home.
[ It doesn't have to be right now, but it's likely an invitation working on her spoken desire of visiting more often from earlier. ]
[Not wrong! But she was worried after all the things that Tendi has gone through lately.
But she and Vincent were kind of bad at self care sometimes.]
It's fine Vincent. You were making sure I was safe, and it was the quickest way to make sure I didn't die. Cloud, you...it would have been pretty terrible if I died.
But...it would be nice to do something. Wine or...we can see if that bartender can make drinks that take after us.
[ Laugh away. It was after all, meant to be amusing. ]
Alright. Let's meet up later and see if we can track down the bartender.
[ Perhaps not here and now, but later when they're both free. And Aerith can get a good once-over of the gunman to be sure he's as fit as he says he is before they saunter on down to the Lounge. ]
We'll head over in the evening maybe, get the best shadowy alcove?
[Poor Vincent, dealing with all this teasing. But they'll get to check on each other before grabbing a drink, and even pretend that this is a bar back on Gaia. And that everything...is okay.]
no subject
[ And he understands. ]
I think most of the infirmary staff would be willing to come to you. Cloud... he mentioned he trusts Tendi.
[ That is significant. Very much so and enough for Vincent to mention it. ]
So if Ulla isn't available, she's probably a good option.

That'd be fun.

[ There's probably a habitual nod. But you know. Audio. ]
...Which bartender? The new supervisor there?
[ Themed drinks. ...There's a note of interest sparked. ]
no subject
Yeah! The cat one? With the wings. I think he was offering that the other day.
no subject
[ When they get together. ]
Think he'll let us bring them back to the cabins?
[ Trust Vincent to try to make a to-go order out of fancy, themed drinks so he can minimize his public attendance. ]
no subject
[Still...she has to chuckle.]
Vincent...there are plenty of corners we could sit in. I've never talked to him, so I don't know.
no subject
[ IF HE MUST. ...No, there's a light trace of humor there. ]
I guess we can stay if it's part of the price for these themed drinks.
no subject
A very heavy price to pay. But I'm sure we can manage it.
[She might be laughing a little. It's nice to joke around with Vincent.]

Fin?
[ Only the best, Aerith. Only the best. And it suggests he might be looking to judge her ability to pick one in the near future. ]
See you then.
