[ the shriek of rage is entirely too familiar for lightning. in a way, it reminds her of jihl nabaat and her lips quirk upwards slightly. scarlet having all of her plans fall apart around her is the icing on the cake. focusing hard on tifa's jump, lightning promises herself she won't fail these people. somehow they are all intertwined together and she has to stick it out to the end.
with any luck, the end for scarlet's plans will be right here.
as tifa reaches for her, lightning wraps her hand and fingers around the other woman's wrist, holding on with all the strength she possesses. ]
Nice jump, [ she responds, her lips still just barely curled upwards with amusement.
barret's cheering from the top pulls her out of her thoughts and as tifa grips the rope ladder, lightning finally lets go, curling herself so she can disentangle her legs and climb up first. once at the top, she hops the railing and steps aside to let tifa climb up as well and then moves back inside the airship.
she knows she owes them explanations, but figuring out how to even start answering the unspoken questions has her mind reeling a little bit. so rather than sit around in the outside, she makes her way back to the cockpit to wait. the reunions from the group, obviously friends from the look of it, are more important than whatever she can offer, so she settles into a corner by herself in the cockpit, well within sight of other people so no one gets any ideas about her doing anything. here she waits for the rest to join them, only moving to catch tifa's attention when she spots her. ]
Guess I owe you some answers.
[ that goes for the rest of the group, too, she supposes, but tifa was the one she'd seemingly randomly rescued, so she'll start there. ]
