...With a plus-one. Her mom's being understandably clingy for having a daughter who was murdered three years ago. Understandably, but frustratingly, clingy, and a trip that's supposed to be relaxing only stresses her out more. The fussing starts from the moment they have to put down names for the hotel reservations ("Mom, even if the Turks know to look for me, they wouldn't take me to Hojo now, just Rufus" shockingly did not help), continues over the flight there, and gets even worse after an encounter with a guy who wouldn't take "no" for an answer ("Mom, there were dozens of guys like him in Midgar, I know how to handle them.")
By the time night falls and her mother goes to sleep, Aerith is all too happy to change into her swimsuit and sneak out, first to the Grand Solarian's bar for a drink to unwind. "I love my mom, I love my mom..." she murmurs to herself as she waits in the corner, leaning against the wall (the best view she can get of the bar while looking more casual than paranoid about it--Mom's nerves are rubbing off).
To distract herself, she'll strike up conversation with anyone seated nearby, asking: "Are you here on vacation too?"
She's not planning on getting drunk, though, so after enjoying one glass, she moves onto the beach proper. It's obviously late for someone to be swimming on their own, so she mostly just walks along the sand, but at some point she moves far enough into the water for the waves to be lapping at her stomach and enjoys the coolness of the water before swimming along in a breaststroke.
[OOC: Any Shinra characters who do want to run into her / have been tracking her or something are okay to intercept her. She will be a little huffy, but not as huffy as she would have been if you did this while Elmyra was around. ]
