--at the right button...? Ah... I really hope it was. [Being blind definitely has it's disadvantages. It was only by luck that he managed to feel around and find a journal just laying in the wet grass beside him. No doubt his, but he's still kinda wary about using it since he can't confirm that.

He'll have to apologize if it isn't his.

Seto clears his throat and wipes the water off his face]

U-Um, can anyone hear me? I could really use some help I don't... know where I am. I still can't see anything.

[The least the Malnosso could do was give him back more of his sight jeez... ] B-But I do know I'm beside a river! [Not. That that will help too much but he's trying. He can only do so much] I'm sorry...

[If you happen to be out and about near building 6, you might spot Seto wandering along the river, wondering which way to go. He's at a bit of a loss]

[And--she let go.

The reason he can only tell is that there's a warm spot on his shoulder that's quickly getting colder. And of course there's the fact that the memory he was seeing has abruptly stopped, leaving him with the horrid eye sight he had before.

He rubs his eyes, as if that will help him but it obviously doesn't. For a moment he almost forgot his eye sight was this bad because of what he was seeing. He looks up, searching for the woman who was supposedly right there] Lightning?

[ Lightning's simply caught in a stunned silence, staring at Seto as rain continues to softly pelt her now off-centered umbrella. Her mind is working over-time, trying to make sense of this sudden bizarreness. ]

What just happened?

[ Because when she touched him, it obviously caused something- what, she doesn't know. Or why then, considering she knows they've come into physical contact before; the memory of him holding her hand comes to mind with little effort. ]

I'm not... sure. [Okay so he is pretty sure of what just happened but he's just confused as to how it happened. He's always been able to control that power, with the exceptions of the few dreams he's had that were affected by items close by. So how then?

He brushes his bangs out of his face] I think I looked into your memories for a minute.

[ ... Yeah, so it turns out that Lightning had no idea random teenage kid she knows has powers to see into other people's minds. Needless to say, she's starting to dip into 'very unhappy' territory and fast. When it comes to her memories, there's little she'd ever be comfortable with people seeing, and if it has to do with her sister...? ]

How long have you been able to do that?

[ She mad, bro. :( ]

Ever since I can remember... [So basically when he was around five years old or so.

He hears the uneasiness in her voice and starts to panic. He knows it was rude to look into a persons memory without asking but he really didn't mean it!! Pure accidental!!] B-But normally I can control it! That's never happened before, I didn't mean it...

Honest.

[ No, conclusions are quickly being drawn and they're not really in Seto's favor- while Lightning is usually a woman who sticks close to the rules of logic, the moment her emotions start to slip in, the moment her sister is involved, all of that gets thrown out the window.

She really doesn't like the idea that perhaps Seto has been able to do that kind of thing all along without mentioning it, falling into a heavy silence instead of answering. Let's just say that sight is pretty unnecessary to sense the disapproval here. ]

[He can't see the look on her face but he can definitely feel the heavy atmosphere around them now. And that's enough to tell him that she's still upset. Does she not believe him?]

L-Lightning?

[ So far Seto's been pretty lucky with his interactions with Lightning. No doubt he's probably been exposed to at least an inkling of how dangerous she can be- if nothing else, during the one draft they've been on together. However, she's always been relatively amiable towards the teen himself. Maybe a bit irritated or exasperated a few times, but...

Her voice is low now. Low and unhappy. ]

What did you see?

[At least she's finally said something, even if it doesn't sound happy] Well, um... I saw this girl. She looked a lot like you and--oh, there was a guy too! Your brother I think... but he didn't look like you at all and you didn't like it when he called you his sister.

[Maybe they were having some kind of fight? Seto has no idea, he's never had any siblings to know what a sibling fight is like.]

The girl, Serah, she started to say something about... Cocoon? I think that was it, but then she started to float away and turned into crystal.

[ Hey, nothing like a kid reaching into your memories and viewing the single worst moment of your life, right? His description is definitely enough to prove that he actually saw what he shouldn't have, and... to absolutely nobody's surprise, this fact does not soothe Lightning's rising irritation. There's actually a quiet cracking sound as her grip slowly crushes the handle of her umbrella without her realizing it. ]

That's not something you should have seen.

[He heard the crackling but he isn't quite sure what it was. Did she step on something?]

I-I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to see it... it just happened. [Shrinking a little now]

What is it? By touch?

[ Or rather, if it's only directly or if it can be funneled through objects too is what she wants to know, despite her bluntness. Obviously she's still not all that convinced that there hasn't been spying already. ]

Yeah. [He just nods]

[ Still unacceptable... but not quite as bad as it could be, as far as Lightning is concerned. Her displeased attitude continues to radiate off of her like heat in the drizzling rain, until finally- ]

I'm leaving.

...May I follow you back to the village at least?

[He knows she's upset and he doesn't want to bother her more than he already has but he can't find his way back by himself. He'll end up going the wrong way]

[ There's a noticeable pause, filled with that now-familiar silence... but then, Seto will definitely feel something suddenly wrap around him- Lightning's scarf, which she whips around and then catches with one hand in a single motion. Because she's just that awesome.

Drag him back to where he belongs? Sure, but if he makes even the slightest attempt towards trying to touch her again, it's likely she'll be out of there so fast her footsteps will be fading by the time he notices what's happened. ]

[It's that familiar silence that he dislikes and he goes to speak when he feels something around his neck. He reaches up and touches it. A piece of cloth? What's this for?

Again, he opens his mouth to ask a question when he hears her footsteps become distant behind the sound of the rain. He can't let her get too ahead!! So he jogs to catch up enough so he can hear her right in front of him but isn't too close.

Just gonna... awkwardly duck his head and follow quietly]
