At her name, Lightning's eyes snapped up and hit Aerith's face hard. Aerith. Now she remembered where she seemed so familiar from. Zack's ex... but that wasn't possible. Aerith was dead and if she wasn't Zack would've been with Aerith and not her. There must've been millions of Aeriths in Gaia. Not just this single one. So, the teen lowered her head and soon nodded when she said they could be fixed by the man she waited on. Lightning didn't expect him to just show up to fix her wagons but that was Aerith's choice. "Right."
Now, if Aerith had mentioned feeling alone, she could've easily drew parrallel to her. She had grown up feeling alone, having abilities that no one else had. Being an l'Cie was her curse, until she found Snow, and realised it was a gift. Lightning knew, though, how it felt to be all alone in the world, no one to guide you in the ways of your kind. No one to tell you just what you were doing that was so wrong that it was okay for the other kids to beat the Hell out of you.
With a nod, she offered the woman a smile, flicking her hair over her shoulder. "I'll see you around. Thanks for the flowers." With that, she scooped them up, intent on heading home to Zack.
