soggypastry | 014 [Video/Action for Goldenrod]

[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.

Of course, the video feed that suddenly comes on confirms that; Snow the Skarmory is hopping to his feet from where he'd crashed on the pavement, and a ball of running yellow fur can be seen just past him. Fang the Haunter is in direct pursuit of the yellow thing, and Lightning's boots cut across the feed a moment later.]

Fang, cut him off!

[The ghost seems to nod, but what, or who, is the "him"? That question is answered as the yellow thing runs right past the gear again. It's a Pichu, freshly hatched if the egg shell still half covering its head is anything to go by. It doesn't seem to be able to see anything at all, and one of its little paws catches on the cobblestone streets. This allows Lightning and Fang to catch up with it, and Lightning crouches down to remove the shell from its head.

After a moment of blinking in the newly bright light, it peers up at Lightning with wide eyes, then scampers up her arm with some quiet "Pi"s. After a moment of circling like some kind of cat would, the Pichu flops on Lightning's shoulder with an exhausted little sigh. She gives it a wry smile, then reaches over to pick up the gear, shutting it off in the process.]

I don't think either of you will have much to actually worry about. [It isn't as if Lightning has suitors appearing left and right; there's no one to be picky over and probably won't ever be.]

I don't know about that... [ she's been watching Leon. ]

Something I should be worried about? [Not that she'd actually worry much about herself, but...]

Nope! Not at all. [ not yet. ]

[A tad wary, but...that's a nod. She trusts Rise to be right about this.] Okay.

[Though there will still be plenty of sisterly concern over this whole Ven thing until it gets settled.]

Sorry for tossing all this stuff at you at once, Light.

[ no worries, big sis, they've settled as friends. ]

Don't be. It's fine.

[They are sisters, after all. And what else is family for?]

... Right! [ and she really feels a whole lot better. ]

[And, with the mood improved and no more flailing hands, Snow is just going to be rubbing his beak against Rise's arm. More scritches, please? He's just earned himself an exasperated look from Lightning, after all.]

Snow...[So much like his namesake, really.]

[ okay, fine, more scritches for you. ] Is he really like Snow? I kind of remember him being a giant goofball.

[Yay, more scritches! He's one very content bird now.] Only when there's nothing important going on. Snow knew when to stop goofing off. [if lives were at stake, Lightning wouldn't have found a more serious man.]

But I named him after Snow because of how loud he talks. Could hear them both clear across a city.

Really? I guess I never actually met him in person...

You'd know him right away if he ever shows up here again, even if you never met him face to face. [Or, you know, Lightning would just point him out if needed.]

That'd be the guy you're punching in the face, right?

Right. He's got it coming after vanishing like he did.

Serah must miss him a lot, too.

She does. She doesn't really act like it, but it's hard for her to be without him. [Especially considering...how Lightning had been acting before Serah had gotten here.]

Poor thing... I wonder if there's a way to cheer her up. Until he gets here, I mean.

[There are ways, but...] I'm not sure anything would actually help, Rise. It might get her mind off missing him for a little, but if he's still not here it wouldn't make things better in the end.

... No wonder you want to punch him.

More than once. Serah wants to kick his butt, too. [Though Lightning...kind of doubts she'll actually go through with it.]

Good for her! That'd leave even more of an impact.

He'd never expect it from Serah, even if she can't knock him down.

Bonus points for being his fiance, though!

[Iconface. She's not entirely following, Rise.] Because he'd forgive her right away?
