[Hey, Johto. Enjoy that loud crash you're hearing, because it's only going to get louder and shatter the afternoon's relative calm. What was it? A crashing Skarmory, if the metallic screeching noise is anything to go by

[You're getting a slightly concerned look, Serah. She does not like you being this winded.]

No, I'm not mad. He was just running scared because he couldn't see.

[That straightening up earns Serah another look, this one slightly less concerned, before Lightning turns her attention to the eggs.]

It depends on what's inside the egg. Sen took two weeks to hatch, but Snow only took a week. [At the mention of his name, Snow the Skarmory hops over and sticks his head under Lightning's arm. Hello there, Serah!]

[Once the eggs have hatched, Lightning just shakes her head. This place...never a dull moment.]

This place has ways of surprising you. Especially when it comes to eggs.

That can be a bad thing, Serah. [Just watching as Skarmory goes over to inspect the new babies. He's a curious thing.]

Until bugs start attacking people out of nowhere, yeah. [She almost rolls her eyes at that, but she can guess what her sister is thinking.]

[Optimistically? Serah, your sister does not think that way. You know this.] We got lucky. It could have been a lot worse. Thinking optimistically won't keep us alive if it happens again.

[it was. Shame the shot didn't so much as graze her.] Maybe. Just keep your guard up until you're sure of that.

I'll see what I can do. [No promises, Serah. Though she has come quite far since the last time you'd seen her back home, at least.]
