[ GUIDE ]: in the process of guiding the receiver through a crowded place, the sender’s hand protectively grazes against the small of their back ( for flower girl ✿ :p )

                                She had never seen a market place as busy as this, one with so many stalls with objects that she didn’t eve recognise. It was completely different to the market place in the slums, the one close to where she lived. Perhaps Leon was used to this, he didn’t seem as amazed as her by the different stalls and the amount of people that could seem to fit in one place. If it wasn’t for the busy crowd, Aerith probably would have been darting between the different stalls, looking at their wares even if there was not possibility that she would be able to afford anything that she liked. 

But with a busy crowd came the occasional shoves, the occasional elbows to the ribs that has the flower girl jumping slightly from the contact. People here didn’t seem to have any manners, or at least where so enamored by the market place they they hadn’t even considered those around them in the tight space. But then even she was tripping over other peoples feet, earning glares from them as she tried to apologise before they disappeared further into the crowd.

Emerald eyes glance over to her companion, a questioning look of where to go next. There was no point asking him with words, she would only have to shout above the noise and even then she’s not quite sure he is guaranteed to hear her. He seems to nod towards his right, signalling the direction they would have to take to get out of this crowd and she steps towards him, prepared to follow him closely.

It’s only as they push through the crowd some more, trying to make their way to the exit that she feels the small graze across her back. At first it makes her jump, even if the touch was barely there, but then she realises that he is just trying to help her get though the people to their destination. A soft breath escapes her, like a quiet laugh as she sees that he might not be a reserved as she once thought. It’s funny to think that during this whole period of him being an unofficial bodyguard, they had never touched once, not even by accident and so the Flower girl has to wonder if he even realises that he has done it. 

There’s a break in the crowd and they manage to get thought, the brunette looking up at the other with a soft smile on her features, stepping back just to reduce how close they had gotten. “ Thank you, If I didn’t have you there I don’t think I would have ever made it out of the market ”

                                As for the touch, well, she’s not going to say anything about it.
