[ Because it did change quite a lot. From week to week, even. Maika frowns, rubbing her jaw with her fingertips as she thinks. ]
Cheerful, a little prissy. That you'd try to get along with everyone because you felt like you should, but you'd lose interest pretty fast when it was too much trouble.
[ Prissy is a new one, and it almost makes her laugh, though she can see where it comes from. It's not like Maika knew the circumstances Aerith grew up under, after all. ]
[ Honestly, the second one is almost more troublesome. Just one more reason she can never really take her eyes off of Aerith; she knows she'll always find a way to be too close to problems. ]
Huh. Next time? Instead of one of these outings, we'll see if I can't teach you how to run faster.
[ Ruthless running training might not serve any practical purpose but maybe it would make negative associations between poking her nose into trouble. She can break habits! ]

Huh. And here I thought you would have just been imagining the best all along no matter what. But you're not what I expected, either.
no subject
Nope. I'm pretty realistic, at least when it comes down to it.
[ Ah, but now Maika has her curious... ]
What did you expect?

And unfortunately for you, I love trouble!

[ She grins, letting out a little giggle. It probably sounds absurd, but maybe not to Maika. ]

She gives Aerith a stare that's entirely too exasperated to be doubting the sincerity of that experience at all. ]
...I can't believe I've spent the last year hearing how I'm the reckless one. I've got to bring you back to Kippa and Corvin.
no subject
[ She grins. The idea is pretty funny, honestly. Maika being the responsible one... would they be surprised? ]
You haven't told me about this Corvin person, though. Who's that?
no subject
[ Kippa at least can use the excuse of not knowing better! But Maika lets out a quiet snort. How the hell does she describe Corvin... ]
...Picture Argenti, but less insane and more of a stick up his ass. And giant wings. That's Corvin. He can give lectures like Argenti babbles, too.
no subject
Hmm... Sounds like a decent guy. Kinda explains why your feelings about Argenti are so complicated.
