[Especially as Lulu's travels bring her closer to the city, she hears plenty of forest-side commotion.
The roaring, however, is new.
It's the tip-off Lulu needs to rush right into position as the cry for help comes. She spends about two of the monster's steps debating how best to dramatize her entrance, and announces her presence with a lightning strike. It drops from the sky, radiates a sparkling light from the point at the monster on which it lands. Here comes your savior, Amaya, dashing out in front of the monster while it's stunned with her sword raised, her cape billowing in some unseen wind.]
Foul beast! What impudence, assailing the wayward innocent! Are you so ignorant as not to realize that all wandering maidens are under the protection of her lunar grace's divine watch?!
[She flourishes her sword—this is why she specializes in light magic, because it inflicts stun, and then she can keep posturing like this; jesus h christ lulu]
As Her holy emissary, I, Lucille Lucena, am tasked with the sacred duty of defending this traveler. Your fate is to be banished at the divine heroine's hands!
[And, holding out one arm, tilting her head over her shoulder to speak to Amaya—] Fear not, as you are under the moon's holy protection. Your safety is guaranteed!
[While it definitely seems like the universe at work to emphasize the drama here, it's absolutely a matter of Lulu doing this shit frequently enough to master the timing that the monster starts moving again just as she's wrapping this up. With a cry of,] I will deliver your fate! [Lulu lunges, sword sparking with glittering magic as she drives it right into the monster's face. Could?? you not have just done this while the thing was stunned, Lulu???? you could have just skipPED RIGHT TO THAT THIS WHOLE TIME??????]
[Well. That's one way to receive some divine intervention.
Amaya winds up yelping and jumping back at first, when the lightning strikes down--the monster isn't the only one stunned as Lulu makes her way in front of the younger girl, Amaya looking on in sheer awe of the woman in front of her. Amaya isn't sure how to respond at first--how can one respond, in the face of such...such...
Coolness?]
O-oh--oh, thank you, Miss Lucena!
[Amaya winds up blurting that out as she watches Lulu drive that sword into the foul monster--watching it expire before her, perhaps flinching a bit at the sight but refocusing her attention on Lulu as to not focus on it. It's okay. Amaya is still alive, Lulu is still alive, and...and...]
That--
[Amaya does her best to catch her breath, crouching down a bit.]
was so...
[It's practically within an instant after that Amaya jumps up, Two Virtues bouncing with her as she clasps her hands together over the Keyblade with sparkling, wide eyes and an exceedingly excited expression.]
COOL! Eeeeee! [Amaya bounces on her feet some, her entire body following suit.] You were like--kapow and the monster was like--wait, what?! But then you were just like--shing, and the monster was beaten! Miss Holy Emi...emis... [That. That word is too hard, let's stick with what we know--] Miss Lucena, thank you thank you thank you!
[Lulu spends the entire time Amaya gushes over her stunning display...posing. Sort of in a way where it's very obvious this is just her natural state of being? Swoosh goes the sword out of the monster's face and in the same motion, Lulu twirls to land firmly facing Amaya. Her cape swishes and doesn't quite settle, either, rippling as Lulu spins then sheathes her sword, then sets her hands on her hips. She's absolutely soaking up all this attention. It's awful.]
Such is simple duty of Her Lunar Grace's holy avatar. As I said, you are under Her protection, and therefore mine. [Even he way she waves her hand as if to dismiss the thought comes with a lovely few flourishes. Is...is there glitter coming off of her fingertips when she does?? Lulu?????
But of course, she only smiles brighter, striding over to close the distance between them and offer Amaya her hand, not so much to shake as just, like...to take?? For support??? Her hand is still sparkling.]
Tell me, did that foul villain bring any harm upon you?
[If Amaya minds at all--which she absolutely does not--it doesn't show, and if anything, she's even more enraptured and sparkly eyed as she watches Lulu pose. She brushes it off so simply! She's like a heroine from a fairy tale--no, maybe even more than that. Honestly, if anything, Amaya can't help but think that Lulu and Hikari would absolutely get along--if Lulu could teach Hikari how to pose, and Hikari could teach Lulu all of her cool ninja tricks that Amaya couldn't get, they'd both be unstoppable!
One of Amaya's hands unclasps itself from her keyblade, her grip light at first before firming up. Gosh, she's so sparkly, it's amazing? But that makes total sense to Amaya; anyone who shines this brightly must have the ability to dazzle at all times!]
Uh-uh! Mr. Monster didn't do anything like that--he scared me a bit, but you came just in time to make sure he didn't hurt me! [Amaya beams a bit at that, swaying a bit in her spot.] I'm not very good when monsters get in that close, but you're a natural at it! Heehee!
[...oh!]
Oh, what about you, Miss Lucena? [Amaya's look goes a little concerned, and the hand that still holds Two Virtues waves the weapon a tiny bit.] He didn't hurt you, did he? I can heal you, if you want! It's only fair after all you've done--and I'm a pretty good healer, even if I'm just a novice!
[Weirdly enough, the wind seems to still a bit at that remark--the weapon itself seems to gather it in some measure towards the bottom of the keyblade itself, and it starts to...glitter, just a touch? Huh.]
