[ video / action for library, arena ] ⚡ [ night 72 ]

[struckout]

[ Live from Asgard's 'Great Library' this evening, a set of bookshelves taking up the majority of the background behind her, is a familiar, serious-looking face-- albeit one that's been lying pretty low outside her job at the hospital for the last little while. Despite the rather close set of the 'camera,' it's fairly obvious where she is... although for some reason she appears to be standing rather than sitting, and keeps glancing off and down at something she must be following some kind of directions off of.

Actually, she... seems to be wrapping her hands, using a long, dark red something, her slim fingers flashing into frame occasionally as she calmly addresses her bracelet- ]

How many of you are familiar with sparring, without the use of weapons?

[ ... Was it mentioned she was in the library during this? Yes? Well, hopefully she isn't bothering anyone too much, then. Eventually, she does take her leave of the place, heading over to where she fits in better instead: the arena, where she can be found frowning and outright attacking some hapless punching bag late into the night.

Perhaps someone forgot to tell her you're supposed to take it easy and primp the day before a party?? ]

And her guardian?

[ Who Lightning quietly assumes that Vanille already knows of. The worst that can happen is that somehow she doesn't and has to ask what she means, which at the same time wouldn't surprise Lightning all that much, by this point. If Vanille happens to be from the original timeline, who knows how the history she knows went down? ]

I, ah— met him.

[ They held a lovely conversation wherein she annoyed the ever living fuck out of him. C:

Of course, she had known of Caius. It was hard to avoid stories like those. She'd just never thought she'd... meet the man they were aboutt. ]

[ .... Man, can you hear those alarm bells going off in Lightning's head right now? Ohhhh booyyy. Safe to say she'd probably blow a fuse if she realized the finer details of said meeting between those two. ]

Vanille. [ Dropping all pretenses of zen attitude- this is serious. ] You need to stay away from him.

[brightens]

I— [ Yeah, there's no need to argue there, is there. ]

I know. I didn't know who he was, when... I first started talking to him.
