[strikeoflightning]

This again?

{Lightning has never been patient, but this? This is ridiculous.}

And here I thought you were gone for good.

It would've been better if you had left.

[haha_steelguard]

Good luck. A mun's worse than a fal'Cie, at least you get a brand out of the fal'Cie.

[strikeoflightning]

Are you trying to comfort me?

[haha_steelguard]

Just commiserate. I'll save the comfort till I'm sure you need it. Even if you won't admit to wanting it. [Winking to go along with that promise.]

[strikeoflightning]

I don't need any of it. [She is dangerously close to glowering.] I'm not a weakling like you.

[haha_steelguard]

Whoa! Easy, Sis. Not looking for a fight, here. I'm on your side, remember?

[strikeoflightning]

Not necessary. [The loner is forever alone, don't you know?] I can handle it.

[Maybe.]

We're not family.

[haha_steelguard]

[Been a while since he's heard that. Of course, he gets now how bad he'd made a mess of things back before everything went down, but... apologies are useless till Light's ready to listen.]

How about we save the arguing till you at least know what's going on?

[thefutureboy]

If you're angry now, just wait till you meet Caius.

[strikeoflightning]

Who the hell is that?

[thefutureboy]

Someone you'll be seeing a lot more of than you'd ever want to, trust me.

[strikeoflightning]

You sure know how to brighten a situation.

[thefutureboy]

Figured I'd break the bad news before you got blindsided by him.

[strikeoflightning]

Who are you?

[thefutureboy]

The name's Noel.

[strikeoflightning]

Huh. [Not ringing a bell.] Lightning.

[thefutureboy]

I know who you are. You're a legend in my time.

[megaflare]

Not much fun in that, is there?

[strikeoflightning]

Never has been.

[megaflare]

Lucky it didn't come to that, then.

[strikeoflightning]

Come to what? Fun? Did you really expect that?

[megaflare]

You saying it'd be better to sit around collectin' dust?

[strikeoflightning]

[Snarl.] I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be collecting dust at home.

[megaflare]

( down, girl ) Gettin' all worked up about it's not gonna help much, either.

[strikeoflightning]

Nothing else has worked. [Punching changes the world, Fang.]

[megaflare]

( jawsets, too... ) Certainly not gonna get very far if your mun shelves you, either.
