Lightning hated being here. Hated the city with a passion that she kept under lock and key, but she found a few things she could stand around here, like the chocobo barn, even if they were devoid of any breeds she was familiar with, and the park and its strays.

She probably had an affinity for strays, considering her life. A few of those strays were now looking and tilting their heads at someone on a bench, naturally drawing Lightning's attention too. The man looked familiar, and for a moment she couldn't place it, until she remembered seeing someone with almost the same face and hair, even if they had completely different body types. A relative, maybe?

Lightning gave one of the dogs one last pat on the head before approaching the man. Okay, so she wasn't entirely sure why she was going to talk to him, but it was probably curiosity. Maybe he was related to the scrawny little man she'd met before and they didn't know about each other's presence just yet.

"Hey. You're new around here?"
