Instead, she gives a brief wave with a shy smile before that hand goes to rub at her neck in slight embarrassment. She recovers quickly, though, after her new steely companion bumps her beak against Xion's cheek. ]

I'll be seeing you, Lightning. Good luck to Hope!

Take care of yourself.

[She means that! But yes, that was a disconnect. She'll be keeping an eye on you, young lady.]

[ And right before the disconnect: ]

You too!

[ As if Lightning didn't take care of herself well enough. Then again, she remembers the bits Fang told her. They'll both have to wait and see. ]
