"Secretly?" She scoffs nose wrinkling at him. Just like last night, the thought that they were being people instead of prisoners crosses her mind, though, at present, it's a very different context, one she decides she likes. He's been interesting and sweet in every light she's seen him in so far, but Aerith isn't sure what she's supposed to do with that information given the circumstances.
Aerith smiles as he describes his life before arriving here, trying to piece together an image in her mind of what life as a pirate aboard an airship must be like. It's a little beyond the frame of reference she has from things seen in passing on the television or heard in stories, but it sounds wonderful, and more than that, it sounds so perfectly him.
A detail she feels weird about pointing out and so refrains, even if she couldn't say why. "It sounds like a lot more than an apartment," she begins. "Were you always in danger?"
Smiling at him even while she tries not to imagine what future visits from him might entail, Aerith nods, humming in agreement before she holds a hand out towards him. "Hey, help me get down." She could absolutely hop down by herself as easily as she hopped up, but, that wasn't the point.
