[ It's true that Lightning has probably been in a pretty weird mood the last few days; she usually is right after a draft or experiment, even when the town isn't so torn up as a result.
When she looks up, it's with an odd expression at first- like she's confused that the younger woman is there and attempting to help, but without the general signs of surprise you'd expect if that was the actual case. After a quick beat she seems to shake it off, and yet... ]

[ She frowns, resisting the urge to wipe her forehead with a muddy hand. Okay, so figuring out exactly what to say here isn't something that comes easily. Not when it's Serah and... what if she's mistaken about that object she thinks she sees anyway?
While she might feel a hint of apology for it, she just shakes her head rather than answering, and then redoubles her effort to get closer to the hint of shininess. ]
