[ While she is used to being treated as a second-class citizen, she still has yet to get used to being treated as such for being female rather than non-human. She has only the most basic of understandings of pre-Space Era history due to it not being relevant to her purpose--her initial purpose--so it is all still very

[Invisible Third Option]

[bogusmagicker]

[As Lamia returns home in the early morning with her ridiculously large stash of weapons, Yuki is standing on the staircase. Perhaps she was concerned.

Her gaze will flicker briefly. Her head tilts.]

[angelgressor]

Hello, Yuki.

[ She says as though she weren't carrying a large number of weapons. ]

[bogusmagicker]

Hello.

[She says as though she weren't staring at a large number of weapons.]

......Do you require assistance?

[angelgressor]

I, ah.

[ The oddity of the situation finally clicks. ]

Perhaps.

[bogusmagicker]

...There is an empty storage closet in the basement.

[Yuki will reach out to try and pluck a few of the tools and weapons off the top of the pile.]

[angelgressor]

Thank you, but be careful.

[bogusmagicker]

[Yuki would make a comment along the lines of always being careful, but it is too late at night and she has no sense of humor anyway. She simply nods instead, and like Lamia, doesn't appear to be particularly inconvenienced despite taking a significant load of the weaponry.]

[angelgressor]

[ Instead of following, she watches Yuki; she knew the girl was a bit strange, but this was suspicious.

Could she be...? ]

[bogusmagicker]

[Almost as if she knew what Lamia was thinking, Yuki will look back at the top of the stairs and meet the gaze of her 'mother' for a few moments before descending. If Lamia does not follow, she will be back up in short order for the rest.]

[angelgressor]

[ No need for that; Lamia will follow Yuki back down, carrying the rest herself. ]

[bogusmagicker]

[Yuki will stand awkwardly to the side when she is finished with her share, awaiting Lamia to finish unloading her things. After a little bit, she will indulge her curiosity and speak a single word.]

Why?

[angelgressor]

You will have to elaborate, Yuki Nagato.

[bogusmagicker]

What is the purpose of the accumulation of weapons?

[angelgressor]

Many people here need protection, but few of them can protect themselves. This is one of the few things I am capable of, being a soldier.

[bogusmagicker]

Ah.

[This was an explanation she understood perfectly, though her methods were somewhat less direct.]

...If you require further assistance, please inform me.

[angelgressor]

I'll keep that in mind.

[ ... ... ... ]

I...would like to ask you a question, Yuki.
