I'll keep this short... (She tries to sound in-charge. Tough. But it all comes out...shy.) My name is Lightning and I'm a new member of the Perimeter Guard. I have combat experience. (A lot of it.) So if you're in a tight spot, just give me a call.

(There. Is that...a decent intro? It's certainly dry. She shifts and crosses her arms over her chest.)

I mean it. I know that might seem like a strange promise from someone who doesn't know you, but that doesn't matter to me. I will protect you. I'm...just built that way now.

(After seeing one world end... After harvesting souls... Yeah. She can't say no to anyone in trouble.)

Hello.

Hello Lightning. I'm Yukihiko. Another new member of the guard.

[He smiles easily, and his voice is bright enough to make up for her semi-shyness. It's a little strange to talk over this thing like this. He's done video conferencing before, but it's always been professional.

...Then again, most of what he's done in his life has been professional, not personal. That's a whole new thing to get used to.]

That's a great offer.

If you ever need help -- I don't know if you will, but if a job's too big for one person or you just need to call in someone -- I used to be part of a protection service, so I'm happy to assist as well.

How are you doing, Yukihiko? (She'll forgo, for the moment, that she is new too and therefore not in any position to be of help. If all he needs is a little friendliness, that is easy enough to provide.)

I know my way around...guarding. I wouldn't want someone to not call for help just because they didn't know anyone.

(Nodding, she gives a soft smile.) Thank you. I hope you'll do the same?

Settling in. This is a very different place than where I was, but I do like it here.

What about you?

[He might still be working on it, but that was no reason not to make sure the offer was mutual. If she was going to offer to help anyone, she deserved to have the sentiment returned sincerely.]

I feel the same way for the most part. (She lifts a shoulder in a shrug and sits down on the side of her bed.) I'm not sure I like it here yet. Maybe that will change.

(It's sort of hard to like anywhere when you come from this.)
