[Zack remembers a time where she was reluctant to do anything but grow her flowers in her church. If she's gone beyond that and expanded her world outside of the slums of Midgar, he'll be pleased. The world is so big and Sector 5 is so small, that the former deserves to bathe in her inner sunshine more than the latter.
Besides, he'd know that hair, that pink ribbon, those grass green eyes, that easy, cheerful smile anywhere. He's dreamed of her for years, missed her every time he was dragged to some corner of Gaia that didn't include her.
He sees the way she stops and stares, and there's a pang there because it's been so long since he went on his last mission and never returned. And thanks to Tseng, he knows that it's been long enough for her to send 88 letters that he never got until the very end of them. He'd been on his way to find her, tell her he loved her, run away from SOLDIER and ShinRa so that he could be with her when the cleanup crew found him and Cloud and he never quite made it all the way back to Midgar. So close, and yet so very far away from the one person he'd ever wanted.
And even though he feels that pain, he gives her an easy smile that he reserves just for her.]
Well, how can I say no to that? I'm your guy if you need something heavy lifted. [He curls his bicep, showing off all those lovely muscles he gained going up the ranks of SOLDIER to become First Class. If he's lucky, she'll play along and laugh, lightening up the mood and earning him her beautiful smile again.] Point me where you want me, Aerith.
