[ Aerith's gaze begins to sharpen just as Reno stops himself and thinks the better of whatever drivel was about to come out of his mouth. Saying nothing she huffed out a sigh, continuing her work while he continued to ramble.
Let it never be said she didn't find herself in interesting company when Reno was around at least.
As the last of his bruises fade Aerith drops her hands and steps back, looking over his face. ]
[Yeah, okay, he pretty much walked into that one. 'Jerky' is pretty harsh though, even to his unvirginal ears. Reno scowls, reaching out to grasp Aerith's wrist before she can pull away completely. Injured he may be, but his reflexes are still lightning-fast.
Within the span of a couple blinks, he releases her wrist, fearing for his life as any man would. He heaves a heavily dramatic sigh instead.]
Look. I can't be held responsible for my... honest mistakes, yeah? [The way he scrunches up his nose might be adorable if it wasn't obvious that he thinks he's being cute.]
...it's still that bad? Y'know I could get you some better Cure if yours is faulty... [Yes, Reno. Blame the materia.] Jerky, really? Now who's gonna sleep with me?
[And yes, he gives Aerith an obvious once-over, complete with waggling eyebrows if just because he knows she'd never offer.]

HI HELLO
There's nothing wrong with my materia, I think the problem is you.
[ Bright eyes narrow sharply as amusement peeks through all that carefully curated disdain. ]
There are some things even a mastered Cure can't fix.
[ Reno looks her over and Aerith shakes her head disparagingly. That's a thought he can get right out of his head. ]
