☈ strike #11 (backdated action / video)

[thestormishere]

[ Okay, so thanks to Luceti, Lightning has now accomplished the impossible: not only coming back from the dead, but coming back after becoming a Cie'th- something that is not supposed to happen under any circumstances. Despite that, however, everything is not as peachy as you'd think. Now? She's left in the aftermath, trying to sort things out

[Lightning is free to catch her either after a shift at school or at the flower shop, depending on the day. The former would have her leaving earlier on in the afternoon, the latter is less of a set schedule.]

[ Some time after she's spoken to Aerith, hunting down Raine at the flower shop it is (too many complications over at the school), with Lightning... not entirely psyched about it, but at least more put together than she has been. She knows she'll have to be though, if they decide to talk at all about certain things.

And since she doesn't know much about the art of subtlety, it's pretty obvious she's staring once she's in, approaching with her expression rather... set. ]

[She'll be focused on the plants at first, though she picks up on the fact that she's not alone in the shop quickly enough, lifting her gaze toward the approaching woman. No sign of familiarity, and yet--that's certainly quite the intense gaze.]

... Good afternoon.

[ Lightning at least remains a respectful distance away, arms crossed, brows furrowed-- though in something a little more complicated than mere irritation. She's also slightly surprised that so far it seems the woman doesn't recognize her, since she knows it's possible that Aerith might have warned her. ]

Raine... right?
