[He's got a lot of questions too. Like, is this the afterlife and if it is, what happened to her? There's some hesitancy between them both that he can feel. He wants to reach out and pull her to him in a big hug, soak in all her sunshine and life and sweetness, never let her go. But there's something in her eyes that tells him that she knows he died.
His arm falls down to his side and he hesitates. He's nearly never been so unsure around her.... No, that's not true. She's always kinda thrown him off his game, but she's also made his world brighter. He rubs at the back of his head and then gives her an awkward smile.]
What do you have to make up? I'm the one who didn't come back. [The urge to touch her is back and he pulls at the short hairs at the nape of his neck. How do you talk to your girlfriend that you were forced to stay away from for five years and who has probably moved on?] I... Uh.. I'd like all of that, but let's first get this done. You can wait here and I'll take care of it.
[He picks up one of the massive crates with one arm easily. All that experimentation by ShinRa is worth it if he can show off a bit for Aerith and get this done quickly.]
