OPTIONAL QUESTS: BATTLE AT ZARGHIDAS TRADE CITY
[Cloud wanders the streets of Zarghidas Trade City's slums, where he comes upon the flower seller who Ramza met earlier.]
FLOWER GIRL: Buy a flower? Only 1 gil.
[Cloud turns to her.]
CLOUD: ......
FLOWER GIRL: Something wrong? Do I resemble someone?
[He looks away.]
CLOUD: No... it's nothing.
[He keeps walking. The girl turns to look after him.]
FLOWER GIRL: What's wrong with him?
[A group of thieves approaches her.]
FLOWER GIRL: W, what...?
[One of them steps forward as more men emerge from the shadows.]
TOWN KNAVE (Male Monk): I've been looking for you, Aeris... Selling flowers for your mom? Good for you...
FLOWER GIRL: Ten more days... no, just wait a week, please.
[He grabs her.]
KNAVE : Don't mess with me! It's overdue! I'm gonna get my 30000 gil, one way or another!
FLOWER GIRL: Let...go of me!
[He leers at her.]
KNAVE: Hmm, pretty good looking! Oughta try sellin' your body instead of flowers. Hee, hee.
[Another thief laughs.]
CLOUD: Get your hand off of her!
[Cloud rushes back towards the crowd.]
KNAVE: What did you say!?
CLOUD: Didn't you hear me? Get your dirty hand off her!
[The knave takes his hands off of Aeris and turns to Cloud.]
KNAVE: Who the hell are you? Dressed in funny clothes!
[Cloud pushes him away. The knave turns to him, fists raised.]
CLOUD: Go...now....
[Aeris runs away.]
KNAVE: Bastard, taking me for a fool!
CLOUD: You want to fight? ...u, ugh...
[Cloud sinks to his knees.]
KNAVE: Who the hell are you?
