Aerith went about the rest of her day as usual, selling flowers and using the money gained to take care of her loved ones and raise even more beautiful flowers. They each gave off a distinct, lovely smell depending on the breed, and could calm even the grumpiest customer when given a single whiff.
The same, however, could not be said for Aerith's feet, which had grown increasingly sweaty, and the inside of her dirtied boots increasingly hot and musty throughout the long day. Not once did Aerith sit to rest, only occasionally bending down to talk with children, give them pats on the head or to hand flowers to. Yuffie was subjected to Aerith's stinky feet for what seemed like more just a few measly hours.
Aerith's dirtied white socks could only soak up so much sweat, so most of it went right through and settled into the insole of Aerith's boots, forcing Yuffie to get a full taste of it. The leather boots acted as Yuffie's new skin, which meant her pores were literally being infused with Aerith's sweat and foot stink. All of this while constantly being trampled on.
The outside of her boots did not fare much better as they took a good beating walking through the gross, muddy slums. Suffice to say Yuffie was taking damage on all fronts, and she wasn't sure how much more she could handle.
"I know I haven't been the most upstanding girl around but what could I have possibly done to deserve this?" she wondered over and over, not even being able to cry.
All of a sudden there was a blast of cool air sent through the boots. Yuffie had her first taste of fresh air in hours. Aerith had taken her boots off after a long, tiring day.
