[Shortly after Hope comes back home, Chocorith is going to come over to see him--she was worried about him, too.
...Looks like he's already out of it, though, lying down like that. The Malnosso must have put him through a lot. She clucks her tongue with a disapproving warble and goes to drag-drop a blanket over him, and then she plans to leave him alone (because waking up to a big BIRD in the house would probably be very disorienting!) before she takes a look at him. He looks so small and cute sleeping like that and it makes her feel both relieved he's back and a little bit protective and oh goodness, his hair's all mussed up from being out in the rain--
...
Aerith will realize in a moment that she should not be preening a boy's hair with her beak. In a moment.
