Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cybele was still smiling at the praise, though it was more of a serious smile now than a all-out grin. Also she was blushing a little, because though she was fine with attention, all of the compliments felt a little awkward since she didn't even know if she'd been saying the right thing. Her emotions were... pretty mixed. "I was lucky to meet you," and it was the truth, though she wasn't about to explain why. That would involve going into how she was a scared failure. "You're fun," she said instead, though it was also true, "And remember, you're already as strong as I am."

As she spoke, she started to feel something wrong. Chaos. It wasn't strong. It was probably just a youma, and at the very edge of her aura-sensing range, but there was no way she was going to let it even lay eyes on Medea. She had been looking for something to hunt anyway. "I have to go now," she said somewhat suddenly. "You'll be all right on your own, right?"

"It's this one," she said, summoning her phone and pointing to the correct button. Pressing it, actually- she supposed having someone else in her phone was good, even if she hadn't actually used hers yet. Anyway, this was some advice she was sure of.

"Goodbye, Medea!" she said, smiling and waving like a good mentor sending off her... apprentice or something. She watched her walk away for a few seconds, but she couldn't for very long, not with that faint aura threatening to slip out of range. She turned and started running in the other direction. As the wind started whipping through her hair, she smiled for real, happy to finally be on the hunt again.
