Sanji invited me to be his date when he has his dinner with Pheme and I don't know how I'm supposed to act! You're the most put together person I've ever met, so I thought maybe you'd have some advice.
[ WELL then. her "advice" wavers between "stab her in the eye with an oyster fork" and "remember that 'dinner' too many of us attended awhile back...' but she takes a breath and takes this in stride, instead. ]
sanji, hmm?
judging from everything she's harped on in her little journals: be quiet, be observant, don't be too remarkable. I'm not sure you want to hold her attention.
[ Oh no, not the hmm. Aerith can only imagine the inflection Ada would put on that were this conversation happening aloud. ]
Sanji! Hmm?
[ Two can play at this game! Though, Ada's probably better at it and Aerith knows that - she wouldn't have come to her for advice about this if she didn't. ]
See, I knew asking you was smart. I'm going as his date, and this is his prize, so, I want to make sure he looks good. He seemed really happy about it, anyway.

his date with you is the prize? seems a little presumptuous of our dear lady.
[ she did not misunderstand for a moment. ]
he'll already look good escorting you. but caution is good. who knows why she's showing her face, now.
no subject
Meeting her is the prize! He just asked me to come since he gets to bring someone. You don't think it's going to be dangerous, do you?
no subject
no more dangerous than anything else about this place.
[ which is to say: shrugs? ]
I don't think you have anything to worry about. I'll be surprised if she actually shows her face.
maybe you'll have a nice date, after all.
