Lightning had just been sitting peacefully by herself, perched atop one of the many buildings in Somni. It was a rather short building, all things considered, maybe 5 or 6 stories and getting up had been easy due to the over abundance of long, yet sturdy vines growing along the sides

Travis stood still for a little while longer, trying to figure out if his current accident of his was worse than the tumbles that he took back in Santa Destroy whenever he lost control of Schpeltiger. The worst he expected was probably some bruising, but definitely nothing that needed too much extensive care or worrying over. Despite that he groaned inwardly to himself. To think his track record of bike crashes in this place was clean up until now.
Just as he was about to push himself up, he heard someone approaching. He craned his head just enough to see who it was. The obvious surprise on his face was enough to tell that he hadn't expected to run into her again so soon. And he hadn't even gotten her name the last time. Perhaps he'll have better luck this time.
Instead of getting up from his position, he folded his arms behind his head before letting out a small chuckle. "Well, this is embarrassing. Looks like we've got our roles reversed."
As he folded his arms behind his head, she followed suit by folding her arms across her chest. It was unusual for someone to take such a spill so lightly, and she was a little surprised by his words, and the chuckle even. Maybe he hit his head, or something? It was certainly a possibility. Or maybe he was also just a carefree idiot. That seemed more plausible.
She moved to stand next to him, not close enough for him to try anything, but close enough for her to assess any type of damage he may have collected. It wasn’t like she cared, but she wasn’t about to leave him there if he was hurt. She wasn’t that cold.
“Seems that way,” she replied quietly, fixing her gaze on the damaged bike in the distance and trailing it all the way back to the man sprawled out on the pavement before her, “Impressive wipeout.”
He would be lying to himself if he were to say that he wasn't disappointed that she stopped shy of arm's length to him. Even the smallest of distance could have made a difference but she seemed cautious. It may have just been his imagination but if he had known any better, he would actually think that she was playing hard to get.
Despite the position he was currently in, he still managed a shrug to her comment. A smirk played on his features before he decided to grace her with an actual answer. "You should see me when I'm actually looking at the road."
Even if he wasn't sure how she would take that, he couldn't help but smile a tiny bit more as he continued. "At least I know that you were watching."

[Runs over to Travis and leans over him, looking concerned.]
Are you okay?! That was quite a fall!

I'm sure that damned thing wasn't there last time I passed this place.
