Cyzarine seemed a little jumpy, Lustra thought concernedly. Maybe that wasn't the right word for it. No, the girl seemed more... evasive. Cyzarine had been about to disagree with her words, the callous logic that she had spouted as if it were an absolute maxim. She must have come on too hard, Lustra thought regretfully.

''To each their own, Lustra."

Anyway, the dangerous situation had dissipated and the morning was plodding along. The two of them needed to get moving before it got too hot out.

"I... guess so?" Lustra said tentatively. "It's just what I think. Feel free to disagree."

She gave a nod to Cyzarine to begin walking towards the main road, a beaten path which would curve out of town and in the rough direction of the capitol city.

Lustra couldn't help but give a small laugh at Cyzarine's description of Grimm-fighting.

"'Cool things off', huh? Never heard anyone say it like that before," she said, teasingly but benign. "Then again, it's probably not a big deal for you."

The next few hours should hopefully proceed without a hitch. Lustra thought, then, it would be a good time to gradually get to know her temporary charge. She cleared her throat and looked at Cyzarine.

"So, have you ever been to Vacuo? It's a good place if you want to be party without consequences, if you, you know, stick with a group. I'm being hosted by a graduated team from Shade, and they've been showing me some of the good stuff to do on the weekends. Little hideaway adventures that the locals are really into. Bet you could get away from those 'guardians' here if you ever wanted to," Lustra said, with just a hint of playfulness. She'd always been rather rebellious herself, underneath the good-girl facade she put up around non-Hunters.

"But, do your parents usually let you do what you want?" Lustra queried. She didn't quite understand the nuance within the term "guardians" as Cyzarine had used it. But maybe understanding her upbringing would be the first step in guiding the pieces into place.
