    ❛Probably.
It’s an amused admission, words uttered via upwards curled lips and a slight crinkle to the corner of his eyes, brows tilted to the sky ever so slightly as though cautious. The sight was an interesting one for certain, yet he knew well of what misplaced laughter could do to someone, be it intended as malicious or not.
Thus, although the leaves represent a lighthearted kind of humor that was obvious to him, the following utterance was one made if only to ensure that she would not be offended by his honesty.
    ❛—But it’d be a good kind of funny.      I don’t think people would be cruel.
    …At least, I would hope not.❜ 
Image

                       ❛ oh, that doesn't matter. ❜  raising a hand only to brush aside the second half of his statement, she's dismissive, but honest. it truly doesn't matter why someone is laughing at her as long as it is true amusement. and perhaps it is this thought process that fuels her own teasing. the end results are paramount. the course to them is debatable. ❛ i was hoping they'd laugh. i think happy people are best, don't you? ❜

           a brief pause.

                         ❛ i wish i had a phone so you could take a picture. ❜ the patting of her dress pockets is for show. she didn't have the funds to purchase a phone before leaving the last world. ❛ i know someone at home who would appreciate it. ❜

And now is where he hesitates, just slightly— because he’d been wanting to take a pictograph once the leaves were in place, if only for her to see what she looked like with ‘ears’ like his. It isn’t that he’s disappointed per say, but that his unspoken plan has been effectively derailed; even more so due to the fact that he’d been unwilling to speak of it out loud if only to surprise her with the idea before the pictograph was taken.
Yet his mind has always been something of an adaptive one, and with a smile woven back onto his features after momentarily falling out of place, war-torn hands make their way to the sides of her head; fingers delicately attempting to weave the leaves stems into the strands of soft hair found behind fleshy discs. Except as concentrated and careful his effort is, the action is taken place somewhat clumsily; and as soon as he pulls back he notices how the make-ship ears had been fixed a tad too high and a tad too uneven.
The smile wobbles, reforms, and adopts the slightest hint of lopsided amusement.
       ❝—You look like a rabbit.
Image

                       a twitch of her nose. a tilt of her head. she's been told she looks like many things and many people, but a rabbit has never crossed the list. he  doesn't look like a rabbit to her, so, perhaps the leaf ears ended up not quite where they should be. curiosity nearly gets the better of her. hands rise, fingers curling to discern what's given her a prey-like aura, but she catches herself. she freezes. better to keep them where they are than risk them crumbling.

           she straightens.❛ do you think people would laugh if they saw? ❜ 

                         a tentative hope clings to the question. the idea of making others laugh— the idea of making certain people laugh— pleases her. the idea of watching tifa's lips curl upward or catching marlene giggle warms her. too much sadness weighs her down. she is drowned by tears. something— anything— to reaffirm that she is anything but a painful reminder of the past would be a welcome lifesaver.

Exuberance shines throughout his face as hands shift forth, precious items cradled gently between surprisingly soft digits even with the collection of callouses and cuts that littered their flesh. Pressing the twin leaves towards his seemingly hesitant companion, his excitement at potentially finding something good - something to make someone happy - is near childlike in its lack of hesitancy.

       ❝Try them and see!        I spent a long time finding some that would be the perfect shape.

                       his enthusiasm reminds her of another, and aerith is nearly blinded by its light. he is not the sun, no. but perhaps he is a lesser star, a beacon obscured by the bright memory of zack fair, but powerful nonetheless.

         it must be so because whatever clouds rumbled over the plains of her face are swept aside. it must be so because-- for a moment-- she is not grieving something. not her death. not an absence. not the tattered tapestry of her memory.

                 it must be so because there is nothing she can do but smile.

          ❛ do it for me, ❜ she says, lacing fingers behind her back.

       ❝Look!
And he’s awfully proud of the two leaves he presents; dried and pale in colour, looking more gold than green. They’re as near to the tone of skin as such things could possibly get, and although the shape is somewhat off; their singular point works well to at least provide some kind of aimed resemblance.
All in all, the Hylian is more than pleased with his discovery— assuming, naturally, that she would be too.
       ❝If you put them behind your ears, they’ll look longer!

                   ❛ do you think it'll work? ❜

       and in the skepticism blooms hope, its petals only a shade darker than her cheeks. from her very small experience with trees and nature and the change of seasons along the surface of gaia, she's gathered that the less green the leaf, the more fragile it is.

                                              what if they crumble in her hands?
