Aerith took the chirping and bobbing to mean that the bird was going to help her some more, or at least until something caught the pretty things attention and she flew away. That would be just fine, this was a lovely encounter that she could go and gush to Sephiroth about later! A sweet memory of the time a beautiful bird came to help in her garden.

And then something very strange happened that caused Aerith to gasp as she dropped down again in a crouch and reached out a hand to touch the vine and the pretty flower buds. "You're magic! These are so pretty, I didn't know birds had this kind of power! Well I suppose I've never really met a bird like you before." Or at all. There hadn't been much in the way of wildlife back in Midgar. Monsters and beasts, yes. Some domesticated animals like cats and dogs. But not many birds. And nothing as big as this one!
