[ Aerith, true to her friendly nature, responds to his (re-)introduction with her hand held out in an offer to shake, and a brilliant smile on her features. ]

Then, it's good to meet you again too, Ragna.

[ For as much as she doesn't remember any previous meeting between the two of them, he knows her, and she can't help but think that that has to make things a little easier for them to get along. Especially in a place like this, where rules and games change things in every which way at any given time...

Oh. That's right... games.

She offers a muted sigh, and Aerith's eyes track back down to her watch, and then up to Ragna once more. Her smile has dimmed somewhat— nothing against her current company and everything to do with discomfort about her prompt, and what the resort's management seems keen to have them do whenever possible— but it's still very much there, as her head tilts again. ]

If I can ask... I don't suppose you're stuck playing these lawn games too? The challenge I got is kinda intense..

[ To be honest, it hasn't really occurred to her that she could just reject it and get called a loser. But that aside, since when has she ever been one to turn down a challenge, no matter how difficult? There has to be some reason for them to be stuck here, fulfilling the resort's will, and so Aerith figures that as long as she's here, it's best for her to play along. ]

Is it way too forward for me to ask if you'd help me out?
