IT'S GIVING ME AGITA ☆ vayne

[LUMIA CIPHER.]

Are you okay? It was a rather complicated question, even considering the more simple way that Vayne had meant it as. Was she safe within The Typhoon? She liked to think that she was, but she also hadn't been expecting any others Ciphers to be around, either. Not to mention that it still seemed as though her father was keen on causing trouble around here, if the rumors were to be believed. Still... Lu didn't want to cause her niece to worry. It was because if this that she offered the other a slightly forced smile, her head tilting to one side as she spoke, "I believe that I'm safe here, yes. I was told that Caesar and Aphra are both banned from here, and although I wasn't expecting any other Ciphers to be around... you hardly seem to be a bad one. Besides... I don't think Caesar will put any efforts into finding me, anyways. I doubt he even cares that I'm gone." That's what she prayed, anyways. Hopefully he wouldn't take her running away as a "slight," and try to hunt her down.

Wiping that rather unpleasant thought from her mind, Lumia's bright green gaze briefly closed, a soft sigh leaving her. As nice as it was to have someone who shared her experiences – or at least something similar – she couldn't deny that it was exhausting to think about the past. When she opened her eyes once again, she found herself questioning, "I take it that you're safe here too, right? I mean... you mentioned Diya and Roxanne adopting you, and they hardly seem like the kind of people to not make sure you're safe. Not to mention everybody else around here..." She glanced quickly around the beach, her heart aching momentarily. It really did seem as though The Typhoon all truly cared about each other, a fact which was new and unusual to her. She was so used to just traveling from place to place, only really knowing rough and tumble loner groups before this... it would take some time to adjust to anyone even caring.
