Not entirely true; Aerith was entirely comfortable with letting a conversation lapse when there was a natural pause and something else to occupy her attention, like, say, gardening.

But Vincent seemed to find a lot more pauses natural than her. At least he's still willing to let her pepper him with some questions. But she frowns slightly at that last statement. "Then, Shinra still has a lot of influence, huh?"

She's not entirely surprised by that, but not exactly pleased, either.
