Named after the shepherdess in Virgil's pastoral Eclogues. The Greek word amarysso means "to sparkle." In Victorian times, an "amaryllis" was a strong, confident, and beautiful woman.
[the mischief makes her laugh, and she reaches to tuck aerith's hair behind her ear. affection...]
I'd love that, actually. Whatever it is. I trust you to make me look nice. [tail swish.] I think that's how I feel, though, we've really got to put all our effort into having a good last time, even if it doesn't end up being the last. Yeah?
[animal crossing joy flowers. at her core, aerith is still a loving and affectionate person so this suits her fine.]
Definitely! I bet...[she's browsing the bottles before picking up a light, pretty and shimmery red-orange. but she's also picking up a deep blue that's almost black.] One of these? Something easy to see if you like it.
[karlach may make a choice.]
But you're right. Things are gonna escalate by the end of the week, so we should focus on figuring out a plan and spending as much time together as we can before then. Hang out with our friends. Go on dates. Things that are fun and easy for memories to help carry us through to the end.
You're the boss! [gestures for karlach to have a sit and she's grabbing the red polish to unscrew the cap and check the color.]
You have really nice hands. [thanks?] No matter the color, it's gonna look great. I don't think I've worn this kinda stuff more than a couple of times my whole life, but you know what they say. When you look good, you feel good.
[it's really just animal crossing flowers vibes all over the place here, she never does stuff like this. it's kind of fun! it's kind of nice to be like... delicate, in a sense.]
Aw, thanks. [tail swish.] I think I've worn it maybe once ever in my life, so this is novel. Think both of us really haven't had the time to do the fancy shit.
[hand please. she's taking it and she's going to go ahead and start just to see what the color looks like on her, her own flowers bursting overhead and little sparkles in her eyes.]
You're not wrong. This kind of stuff wasn't exactly for everyday wear in the slums. I think the last time I wore it was when we were trying to rescue Tifa. Andrea insisted.

[about the last part. she looks at the different polishes, head tilted.]
This is a tough choice! I feel like the red-orange is my whole color scheme, but the blue is nice too...
[hm.] I guess we can take them off if they don't work. Hit me with the red first, I'd like to see it.
