"I hadn't either," Aerith said, with a smile and a conversational tone. "I'd never been anywhere outside of Midgar before."
Her smile became a little sad as she looked into the fire. "There's a whole world out there I'd never seen, or experienced. I'm only just realising how much I'd missed."
She turned her attention to Fang again, smiling softly. "Rabanastre's a big city. It brims with life, of all kinds," she said. "You can see airships taking off and coming in to land, and people of all species. It never really goes quiet, even at night, although it gets cold," she added. "Even though it's smaller than Midgar was, there's a lot more life. The flowers don't like the desert weather much, but they still grow more easily in Rabanastre than they ever did in Midgar. That's why I'm selling flowers there; I'm one of the only ones who can get flowers to grow in a desert, and in the process, I can fill Rabanastre with a bit more of the kind of life it isn't teeming with."
She looked back at the fire, shyly. "I didn't go to Rabanastre expecting to do that," she admitted. "I didn't really know what I was going to do. I was a little lost when I first arrived."
