hello out there!
first time caller - texter? - but long time globe trotting errand gal. that's how it feels, anyway.
back home, i've been traveling with a group for a while now, trying to do...something kinda similar, actually.
save the world and all.
but there are always stepping stones, you know? so we end up helping a lot of people along the way.

what i'm trying to say is: if anyone needs a buddy for the mission, count me in!

[ ... oh, right - ]

almost forgot: i'm aerith. :D
anyway, not really sure if this thing's working, so maybe someone could respond and let me know if it is?

maybe if i get some reason to trust you, then i'll work with you.
in the meantime, i'll be over here wondering how you all were chosen to advocate for our planet.

Very well. The question of suitability will have to be one you take up with Aurora. Best of luck.

[ most likely, aerith knows better than to think tseng won't be keeping an eye on her—but at the very least, he'll be content not to intervene, not unless it seems necessary. ]

[ She knows. And she stares at the message for a while, brows knit, typing and deleting, until finally she settles on: ]

yeah. guess so.

[ ... ]

you be careful in there, too.

[ thus does tseng find himself in typing bubble purgatory for the first time ever... ]

I always am.
