So they weren't an exact match with regard to likes or not-so likes but that fact just made her all the more interesting. Sephiroth was more than partial to a few of the spicier dishes; a taste he had picked up from Angeal, and didn't sit well with sweet foods, but overall it wasn't irritating at all. It just made the various meals they took together all the more exciting. Screw the expense.
Sephiroth too, was mindful to allow Terra enough time to inspect some of the pets or wildlife they spotted from time to time so it always seemed that the time they spent lingering would meet somewhere in a comfortable medium for both of them. He knew well enough -from all those cats- that she liked animals even if he didn't so much and it's as much a break away for her as it was for him. Besides, leaving her on her own wasn't an option ever considered so he would always linger nearby if she wanted to get closer.
"It does, you're right. At this rate we shouldn't have to go and see it at all." It was about the closest Sephiroth had ever come to a joke, around someone who wasn't Genesis or Angeal. His tone being lightly teasing, but still gentle as if he didn't quite know how to be that way with Terra just yet.
Her smile, caught just out of the corner of his peripheral vision as they continued their stroll, encouraged his own. Each smile that she'd made him stretch ever further had lifted yet more dread weight from his consciousness, fulfilling the entire objective of their brief getaway. Aqures Ixen wasn't forgotten, not by a long shot, but just the distance between there and Flence did wonders for the subconscious.
Sephiroth wasn't sure, if he'd have come alone, that it would have had the same effect.
