[[In case you've played FFXIII and you're wondering why Lightning's such a jerkface here, it's because my initial canon point for this muse is Chapter 4.]]

-1- (First person test)


I'm about done waiting around for answers. I don't like being taken for a fool.

I'm gonna get a few of the stronger fighters together and raid the bridge. I don't believe that it's invincible - hit it hard enough and long enough and something's got to give. Once we get in, I'm sure plenty of you have some questions you'd like to ask the captain.

Who's with me?


-2- (Third person test)


The end of the most recent docking didn't go as well as it might have. There were complications. For some, getting back to the Charon or not became a question of seconds.

For one passenger (that would likely be your character, for tagging purposes), it looked like there wasn't going to be enough time. Too many monsters, too much distance to travel, too many injuries... until, that is, Lightning went back to get the last straggler herself. Possibly just throwing them over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes, she made the deadline at the last possible moment. Everyone's back in one piece.

It's a few minutes later, now. People are catching their breath in the wake of all the danger and excitement. Lightning just leans against a wall looking at nothing, an expression of mild frustration on her face. After reaching some decision, she sighs, gets up, and approaches the person she saved before.

"Next time, why don't you just stay on the ship?"

"You're right." Terra wilts a little under the scrutiny, but rallies quickly. She had managed to get a lot of food, after all. "I'll be more careful next time."

Except she probably wouldn't, not if putting herself at risk could benefit everyone else. Still, it did bother her that she'd put someone else in danger because of her actions. "Are you hurt at all? I can heal you, if you need it."

[only_destroys]

"I'm fine." She took a bit more pain than she's letting on, but that's never stopped her from acting tough before. "What about you?"

[ethereal_earth]

"Are you sure?" Terra had always been good at healing, and noticing when others needed more help than perhaps they were letting on. "I'm fine, just a bit winded. Thanks to you."

Another smile, slightly more confident than the first one had been. "I'd like to help you, in return for you saving me." So let me heal you. Please. She nearly says it, but she's not sure how this woman would react.

[only_destroys]

"If you want to help me, then do it by getting stronger before the next docking. Otherwise, you're probably better off staying behind."

Not acknowledging the healing thing. It's part that she didn't pick up on the subtext, part that she's got pride issues, and part that she does have her own healing magic, although it's not exactly her specialty.

[ethereal_earth]

Oh. Terra's shoulders sag and her smile fades. "I... I will." Only the large bag of food keeps her from feeling even worse about all of this. That, at least, would help everyone - even if she'd almost not made it back in time.

"Thank you, again. If there's anything you ever need help with, please let me know." Like healing, or any kind of magic. She doesn't say that out loud, though; not yet.
