Humming out a little laugh at his question, Aerith shrugs a shoulder evasively, raising her eyebrows at him. "Sometimes you even listen!" Leaning in, she wrinkles her nose before her lips press against his in a brief kiss, her fingers fanning against his cheek.
She's been with others here, like Anna, who she's been comfortable enough to cuddle and laugh with after fooling around, but this still feels like a departure from that. Aerith has a deep appreciation for Balthier's friendship, but this feels different - like if she tried hard enough she would be able to forget their circumstances and enjoy this as nothing more than a great night with a sweet, wonderful guy. It feels like they've forgotten to be prisoners long enough to sink into being people together, and it's hard not to want more of that.
Her fingers trace along the side of his face before descending to his chest, tracing abstract patterns on his skin. "I guess you're going to have to see me a lot then, to make sure you're getting your fill."
