❛   despite everything, i believe that people are really good at heart.  ❜  ( aerith @ big bro seph!!! )

Blinking owlishly for a moment, Sephiroth allows himself a small smile, soft and fond and tender, the kind that only his sister (for even though they share no blood ties, she is his sister) is allowed to see. Standing next to her as they watch the business of midday Sector 5, he looms like a mostly silent bodyguard, knowing full well that, even if he did not go through with all of Hojo's plans for him, his strength is still enough to deter the Turks from trying to take Aerith away. But, the thought of Turks is far from his mind as he listens to his sisters words. The kindness within her forever staggering him.

Truly, she shone like a light in the darkness. It was no wonder really, why so many of those who lived in Sector 5 loved her so.

Bowing his head a little, his eyes slipped closed as a low hum rumbled out of him. "You are better than I am in that. I wish I could see the good in everyone as you do, but I am afraid I will always be looking over our shoulders, and especially yours." He knew Aerith could fight, but that didn't mean he wanted her to have to, which is why, if anyone came to steal her away to the labs again, he would take care of them quickly, and ideally without her knowing.

"Although," there's a short pause, almost like a cat waiting before pouncing on its prey, "I have found that it is easier to believe in the goodness of people here. Though I have yet to determine if that is because you brighten this sector like a light in the darkness, or if these people are always like this."

Turning to face her fully, he kept a cool mask with a small smile in place, even as he felt the wish to turn his face away, knowing she could read the emotions in his eyes as he, quietly and so softly, asked, "Perhaps you can help me learn to see, to believe, that there is good in peoples hearts?"
