IT'S GIVING ME AGITA ☆ vayne

[LUMIA CIPHER.]

Lumia initially felt a bit of panic when Vayne flinched and tensed up, but she relaxed as well when her niece seemed to calm down. She laughed a little bitterly as she heard the other's apology, shaking her head from side to side, "Don't worry about it... it was bad, but I'm not going to let it loom over me for the rest of my life. The people here in The Typhoon... they're far kinder. I know they wouldn't let anything like that happen to me again, and I won't let it happen to myself, either." She could feel a sense of warmth and determination filling her heart now, short nub of a tail flicking back and forth.

As she released Vayne from her grip, she nodded and muttered, "I'm glad to be here too... and I'm glad to have met you. I don't exactly have a lot of practice being an aunt, but... I promise I'll do my best! And besides... I can't wait to see you do bigger and better things." Vayne was still so young, and yet she was still making big strides within The Typhoon. Steps that Lumia hadn't even taken yet... she'd be lying if she said it didn't fill her with pride, to know that it was her niece doing that.
