// DO IT Or, I'll have Serah throw Mog at ya XDD

❛ Mhmmm. ❜ there's an unconvinced hum, digging into the sweet treat before it melts. Mmm . . she almost forgot how good sweets could be . . ❛ Hits the spot, thank you again. ❜

❛ Thank you. ❜ Taking said ice cream sundae (carefully), glancing at it before stifling a bit of a chuckle. ❛ Strawberry flavor. I think I can venture a guess why you chose this one. ❜ ‪ ‪

|| oh right in my lil depresso espresso, I forgot the ironic timing of today is Light's (unofficial bc SE never gave her one and so the Fandom made one up) birthday Uhh Say happy birthday to her or you hate her /jk /lh

The fact those actions brought out even the tiniest bit of a smile said enough, as Lightning shuffles a bit and turns to face her. Staring . . Eyebrow raising . . ❛ I know that smile. What did you have planned . . ? ❜

|| mom looked at me and went dad's passing away anniversary is this Thursday I'm not going to visit the uhh gravesite because I'm gonna grab some good food for the family + I am the most awkward person there But if I'm much more quiet and sad, that's why 👋

❛ I'm sure you weren't, considering no one just asks that for no answer, ❜ there's a chuckle of amusement as she cuts open the bag, scooping out some more soil for the flowers. Hm . . they look much brighter than the other night actually. ❛ Only as mysterious as you're giving me, Aeris. ❜

❛ Hm . . ❜ a hum in thought as she goes around Aeris to grab the hidden items she usually keeps nearby to tend to the flowers as needed. ❛ I'll only answer that if you tell me why you're really here. ❜ she answers after a moment, picking up a bag of soil.

A nod in response, reaching out to gently pat one of the flowers before turning back to the other. It's a rather high area too. With it not being easily reachable, it was yet another reason this place was hardly known of. ❛ Come by here often? I come when I can, but things have been tight lately. ❜

O h. There was a clear showing of her jaw tightening as Tifa steps in closer in that admittedly alluring outfit of hers. For someone who seemed hesitant at first, none of that hesitation could be found as she makes her way over. Gaze slowly falling down to admire the way her hi - Nope. Nope. -

From Lightning's expression alone, it was clear enough she wasn't . . wouldn't demand any real explanations. ❛ Aeris . . ❜ the name doesn't echo quite right, that's why her sleeping instincts whisper to her, but she lets it slide as easily as the way she glances over to the flowers in the next -

❛ A traveler. ❜ Lightning isn't particularly surprised at being greeted despite coming up from behind. As quiet as her footsteps can be, her presence was something hard to deny. So she answers in a forthcoming manner, arms crossing as she returns the gaze, expression calm, ❛ And you? ❜

@hellfirewill.bsky.social Welcome to the FF verse! 🔥

Clearing her throat, and admittedly, the flush upon her expression says a lot, ❛ . . . Still no comment. ❜

❛ . . No comment. ❜

|| knowing her, I wouldn't be surprised if she had tried dying it black at one point tbh

|| C:

|| here, have another <3

// Now that I'm more awake, just wanna shout-out a Happy Mother's Day to this goddess with a blade (yeah, I got K/DA on the brain xD) who raised Serah on her own Happy Mother's Day, Lightning! X33

@unyieldingsword.bsky.social Aerith’s BIG dream for Light is to take her to the fair and have a blast on the rides, play minigames, take pics with goofy headbands, and eat all the delicious food the grounds have to offer. Light needs to let loose and let herself have some fun!

How so? 👀

What has she signed up to . . She might need saving herself at this rate . . Alright, Princess, let's get on moving then.

One could even say she's going down under.

Fine, you've convinced me. ( she says as if that took any convincing )

❛ I've no idea. I was met with another about this size and then all of a sudden, I became like this. ❜ Could be toxins? Could be a curse? Hard to say. Grasping onto her clothing as she wriggles her way upwards, ❛ If it's a behemoth, I'll laugh. ❜

Into, into The Basement?

Only if you're coming with me >:L

Not in the slightest actually.

Somehow, that doesn't make it any better.

( SIDE. EYE. ) . . Wait, how do you not know if The Basement is under your name? Not to mention the setting up of said place and the logistics of keeping it maintained. Something isn't adding up . .

. . . What . . What happened in The Basement . .

There was almost, ALMOST a moment where Lightning softened up, but nope, can't give her too much power. Thinking it over, it does make sense. Given her current state, not to mention there's no telling when it wears off, she's as helpless as a sitting duck like this. Aerith, for all her -

The basement?? ( oh no, sweet and cheerful is certainly a description but anything else? nuuuuhhh-uhhhh, danger signs are going off. ) ...... THE basement?

Not in the slightest. Lightning's never had an interest in those sort of matters. If others squirmed because of what she said, that's on them. And back to the matter at hand, there's an understandably suspicious squint from the tiny warrior, ❛ But nothing, as we agreed upon. ❜

❛ Not even a little. ❜ Lightning'll hold firm in that regard despite the BIGGEST of pouts that would bring down a many man and woman. Or so she's heard. Being faced with it now, she's not entirely too sure in its power. Is picked back up. ❛ First order: behave. ❜

( despite the smile, Lightning can't help but . . feel a shiver run up her spine. It's such an innocent smile and yet, it looks terrifyingly devious. ) So where're you taking me? Us? Them? Hopefully I don't stay like this . . 💧

How terrifying. Even Lightning doesn't feel like her next words would necessarily be all that safe, but this'd be the best chance given her survival and how Aerith can be. ❛ You'll do anything I say without hesitation. ❜

That's . . well, I can't think of a reason that part isn't true. ( hugs at said favorite flower for support. even gentle, the swaying basket says a lot to this tiny warrior. ) this your new hobby now?

Y E LP S wait no that wasn't a yelp, that was a very collected shout! hey wait, be gentle!

The stern glare she sends the taller one's way . . Its effectiveness is cut by at least 75% due to the absolutely small size this Savior has become. How . . How quaint. Somehow, she feels her end is coming soon, and fast. ❛ On ONE condition. ❜ Not sounding very menacing there, Lightning.

I'VE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU SPIKY BLACK HAIRED MENANCE
