[By the time Claire ends up in the cafeteria, Lightning has been there for a while and is just about ready to move on to clear space for someone else. There's things she needs to do anyway, and she can't do them from here. So she'll just be standing, picking up her stuff and clearing her table to leave before she turns, catching sight of Claire in the line and just...stops like a puppet with no strings.
It's one thing to know the other woman is here. It's one thing for Vanille to have thought they were the same woman for a while. It's one thing for Lightning to be making sure her family will be safe no matter what. It's another thing for Lightning to see her double, this other woman from the Sanctum, and it's a whole other can of worms to actually deal with it. It's something Lightning doesn't know how to deal with yet, so she'll just stand still for a moment, trying to recover her balance, as it were.
Though, really, all she's doing is just standing there staring. If, by some miracle, Claire hasn't felt Lightning's eyes on her yet, it probably won't be long until she does.]
no worries, no worries~ all tags are loved, no matter when they come. ♥
