Aerith set her drink on the table, listening to the conversation. Of course Fang's interest was piqued by the mention of Pulse. It was her home. Aerith would react the same way to someone that said they wanted to explore the Temple of the Ancients, or catalogue some other Cetran sites, and Aerith had never been to those. They just called to her, like a memory in the blood, or the yawning chasm of the sky.
"My mother used to tell me stories of the Mist Saturation," she said, cutting in. She didn't want them to try and trap Fang into revealing her own origins, at least not until Fang was ready to trust them. "She said Pulse became rife with Cie'th, and those that could, fled. Without anyone to put the Cie'th to rest they could still be wandering." Would there still be Cie'th after so long? Or would their bodies have distorted and eroded away by now? What about people like Fang? People sleeping in crystal after completing whatever task had been set to them? It seemed unlikely that Fang was alone in her success.
Others may have woken up too, and be scratching out new lives in Pulse's remains. No doubt that possibility was on Fang's mind, too.
