Aria walked through the streets of town with a book crammed to her face, as always. This book was one of the series books she had been reading for months now, each book on a different world. As she was in Radiant Garden, she was reading that book. It told the history, and all about Hallow Bastion and how it came to be Radiant Garden once again.
Aria was always focused on reading, but still had sense for where she was going. She had left Damascus and was heading out for the day for shopping and exploring. She dodged people, and building and other things, as she continued through the town.
Aria didn't stop, she told Damscus she would be shopping, but so far it was just another day to read. She finally lifted her head from the book when all she found was a person in front of her. She was doing great up until then too. She looked up for a moment, only for a split second, unable to see the persons face, before she straightened up and stuufed her face in the book and continuing on down the street.

Cloud had been sitting down on a ledge with his hands running through his hair as he thought more into his sorrowful life. He had been there since 6:00 am that day and had not noticed the accumulating people around him. But a girl that walked past and had glanced at him caught his attention. Not for any reason in perticular besides that she was the first one to acknowlegde he was there. He followed her with his eyes as she seemed to know people were there while her nose was burried in a book.

Aria didn't smile, nor frown as she continue threw the crowds. She ducked under a piece of wood a man was caring, and quickly went back up. Her ong kacky skirt she wore at the moment moving with her. She looked at the words as they filled her mind. She put her finger on her page and closed it over, wringing her fingers around the book. She stopped for a moment in the crowd to look at the few shops that reside in this part. She quickly walked over to the sidewalls to look through some of gthe shops as she read.

Cloud's eyes still followed the girl, She seems....composed, innocent, pure to absolute. He thought to himself. He still only sat there, watching her as she walked from place to place then diving her nose back into the book. I wonder who she is? He asked himself. He sat back and sighed, She reminds me a little bit of Aerith.

Aria sighed for a moment as she put the book to her side. She walked over a little to come to a small shop that was but a window. It had piles of beaded jewlery within. She looked them over, putting her hand to one every now and then with a smile. She looked at the keeper and quietly asked her, "How much are these? Their bueatiful." She said as she pointed to one on display, they were small beads, the necklace was long and beads of different shapes, and all about the same kacky as her skirt.
"Let me see," She said reaching over to them. "I can give you a sale maybe." She said.
Aria smiled, "Really? I have some money in my pocket." Coming from the world she did, she had money and with all the junk in her room she could have sold it and made a fair amount of money. Aria reached into her pocket for a moment to reach some money.

Cloud had noticed a that some money had fallen out of the girls pocket. He had gotten up and picked up every coin the walking over to her and tapping her shoulder. "You dropped this." He said as he held out the handful of money. He smiled though it seemed like he hurt pretty bad on the inside, and that was true and true for anyone who lived through his past.

Aria turned swiftly around to Cloud, "Oh thank you, I don't know what I would have done, hold on a sec." She said reclaiming the money and handing the keeper about three coins in return for the necklace. "Thanks." She said and then put it around her neck and turned to Cloid, her skirt turning as she did.
"Thank you again, sir." She said to him as she pushed her pale purple hair behind her ear with a smile. She reached for her pocket again to see the bag she had carried before had a rip in it, and that she needed to get a new one. "Oh well." She said to herself mainly.

Cloud smiled, "No problem at all. May I asak what your name is?" He said calmly. He had gotten annoyed with thinking of his own life, he wanted to talk to someone and that was when she had come walking by. His jacket waved slightly in the soft breeze that flowed through the city.

Aria smiled, "Oh, sorry, my name's Aria, what's yours?" She asked Cloud, wondering who he was, he seemed kind so far. She looked him overa little more as she put her hand to her head when the wind began to blow a little again. She squeezed the page in her book a little and let go of her head, let her hair just loose in the wind.

The way Aria spoke, the way she acted, it was reminding Cloud so much of Aerith. Despite the ache that fell over his mind he smiled still. "Cloud, Cloud Strife." He said as he bowed, "It's very nice to meet you." He looks at the book in her hands, "You seem to like to read a lot." He said as he looked into her eyes.

Aria looked down at her book, "Oh, this? This is just a book about the worlds in general. I want to learn about all of them. I think I can make that true, I got part of what I wanted, but I didn't mean to be selfish, and sound like a spoiled kid, I never did, I sounded like one though when I told my friend." She said as she remembered the day she got her keyblade, and the day she told her friend. "Anyway, this is just a book my mom wrote."

"I mostly wander this place." He said as he dusts off his jacket and looks back up at her. "Little by little this place is rebuilt more and more." He smiled. "Thats what makes this place a nice home."

"I've noticed the difference from Hallow Bastion. It's changed so much." She said with a little wonder. "I think it's wonderful people can live here once again." She smiled to Cloud and then folded the page in the corner that she had, in case she dropped the book. She looked at him for a moment. "what first brought you to this world?"

Cloud looked into the direction of the castle, "A crime against all things, a crime in physical form that calls himself Sephiroth." His mind flashed images of his world, of Aerith falling to the ground, of a silver haired man starring at him behind flames. "I came here to kill him."

Aria crossed her arms for a moment, trying to think of something to say. "Someone died because of him, didn't they?" She said in a kind of sweet, calm voice. She was trying to be comfort, but she knew she wasn't doing it very well. She stared at Cloud's face as he stared off at the castle. This world was a mystery, with so many mysterious people. It only seemed Cloud would come across here.
