Aerith had watched the man off in his own little corner with curiosity for a while. He definitely didn't exactly seem like he wanted to be there, but he'd come anyway. Which she could appreciate! It reminded her a bit of Cloud in a way. A much more gruff and jaded Cloud. And probably a bit less awkward. Though...she didn't really know him too well, so whose to say?

At the very least she was just excited to see that so many people were showing up. Community had been important in the sector she'd come from and she was trying to instill a bit of it here. If she couldn't directly throw Watts a party then this was going to be the best she could do.

When he spoke up she listened and plopped down next to him, pulling her dress out as she did so she had more freedom to move and then turned to look at him with a tiny pout on her face. "Only not half bad? Boo." But she'd tried so hard to make it great!
