…do you want my seed, Aerith?"
"...What?"
"I believe it's a metaphor, Aerith. In this case, my semen is the see—"
"Yes, I know what that means! And the only thing you are giving me is a headache!"
"...Pft."
"You… are you actually laughing?"
Perhaps even more so than meeting Riley in the most unexpected of places, Aerith was more bewildered by the sound that was whispering in her ears. Riley Ross… laughing at something other than murder?
It hasn't even been that long since they last talked to each other—with their last proper talk being on Diana's ship, and then before that was when he plotted to kill her son in the evilest way. In fact, Aerith should be angry right now, she should be putting her effort into actually trying her best to cause Riley to disappear, but no.
