[Softly:] So many kidnappings... [Sharper now, a little worried:] Yuna, you are well?

[action]

[It's raining, typical Spring weather, and Lulu is outside. She'd stayed inside this week with her journal locked away so that the experiment didn't demolish her dignity as it had the first time. Yuna had decided to stay with Rikku for the

[Lulu's not the only one out in the rain, it seems. There's a sea goddess wandering nearby, no doubt taking advantage of being able to move after being stuck in one spot all week.]

[thriceshielded]

[Lulu doesn't notice the woman at first, but soon her ears make up for her closed eyes. The sounds of someone's footsteps cause her to open said eyes, and she glances over to this woman. Now, most people who wander prefer to be left alone, she knows this for a fact. But to leave this woman alone would be rude, at this point, since she had wandered close enough to warrant a polite greeting.]

Good afternoon.

[andallaretrue]

[There's a smile and a nod from Tia at that.]

An' de same to you.

[thriceshielded]

[That's... an interesting accent. Intriguing, really, though not quite unexpected. The woman seemed rather exotic in general... Which caused Lulu to ask:]

Have you been here long?

[andallaretrue]

Long enough.

[There's a faint scowl at that, as if to imply she doesn't like being here.]

[thriceshielded]

Indeed. I doubt you're the only one to feel that way.

[andallaretrue]

It is one possibility.

[thriceshielded]

It seems the only possibility, as I have spoken to many as unsatisfied as yourself.

[andallaretrue]

An' what of you? Do you like de place you have come to?

[thriceshielded]

[Lulu's silent for a moment. Though it has been a while since she had openly rejected Luceti, she'd never quite admitted to liking it, either.]

I'm not sure. Now that my duties lie here, I can't say I'd return without them.

[andallaretrue]

An' if dey returned?

[thriceshielded]

I would try to follow.

[andallaretrue]

You care for dem.

[It's almost a question. Almost.]

[thriceshielded]

[This is probably the one person she'd openly admit to caring for, so she nods once.]

Though it has always been my duty to protect her first and foremost, I've come to care for her as a younger sister.

[andallaretrue]

Aaaaah~.

[thriceshielded]

And yourself? Have you any friends here?
