[ Aerith has been seeing some more unusual things lately--but actually her attention is solely on her feet right now, because one of those unusual things is taking place all around her.
The stray flowers, if mysterious, had been a scarce surprise during the last week. Now they were coming in full force, springing up as she walked, and if she wasn't careful (or, as one plant would prove now, even if she was)--
She might trip.
Straight into someone, knocking them both over, and Aerith's already apologizing with a bit of humor to cover up the embarrassment, ] Sorry, green thumb's giving me two left feet!
[ but then she registers that she's speaking only to a pair of legs. Oh, they're dressed fairly nicely, but that's not the point, the point is she's talking to a disembodied pair of legs, she knocked someone's legs clean off them--!
Aerith's wits don't catch onto the absurdity of that idea fast enough to stop a startled yelp from her as she scrambles back to her feet, looking around as though to find the missing upper half. ]
