Welcome to Gaia! ::

Claire shifted a bit when Vince rubbed her head but seemed to stay asleep.

Nina was busy skipping a few rocks that she didn't notice Vince as he approached the lake. She was counting the number of times the pebbles would skip, trying to get the highest number of skips.

Nina threw one more stone before noticing Vince. As the sky slowly brightened as the sun rose, it was slightly easier to see a soft blush in her cheeks but mostly what would have drawn someone's attention was the way her hair always sparkled a bit whether it be in sunlight or moonlight. "Morning Vince. Ready to go back to Shin-Ra?" she asked curiously.

Nina raised an eyebrow when she noticed his sword was missing. She was using her right hand to throw the pebbles, but her left hand reached for her own blade Shugotenshi at her waist. In a flash, she had the tip resting on Vince's collarbone. "You should at least learn to remember your blade. Your mission may be complete, but we're still in enemy territory. I thought even a 3rd Class new that," Nina pointed out. Then with a soft smile, she put her sword away and started using her left hand to throw the pebbles. She was skipping them farther this way.

Nina only rolled her eyes and tossed a pebble at his forehead. "Don't get so over confident~" she teased.

Claire woke up back at camp. Finding Vince and Nina were missing, she was a bit worried at first. Seeing that Vince's sword was still here actually helped a little, thinking that he just went for a walk or something, but she still felt worried. She got to her feet and, carrying Mr. Fluffy-Feet like usual, she left the tent and tried finding Zack or Sephiroth.

Nina raised an eyebrow at him. "How does being over confident have anything to do with me being here?" she asked curiously, sort of copying him and rested one hand on her hip.

Claire tilted her head at the discussion, but at least it was Sephiroth. She crept over to the command tent and snuck inside, staying in the corner and shadows so no one spotted her while she eavesdropped.

Nina glanced down for a moment before shrugged and going back to skipping pebbles across the lake. She was using her left hand again. "Well, I guess. Even so, I wouldn't be over confident... You don't know what could happen..."

Claire flinched slightly as she listened to Sephiroth. He's really serious when it comes to these discussions... That was a quick reaction though... Guess I can't blame him though. I want to find Genesis and Angeal too... With a silent sigh, she snuck back out of the tent without being noticed. She wanted to go look for Genesis and Angeal for a bit. She waved at a few of the other SOLDIERS and Shin-Ra Infantry as she walked passed them before leaving the camp. She tried heading back to the Wutai Fort they were at the day before, but she only managed to get lost on the way. Of course, getting lost wasn't a problem at the moment. Claire was focused only on looking for Angeal and Genesis.

Nina threw one more pebble before turning back to Vince, raising an eyebrow at him. "Alright then. What do you suppose we do then?" she asked simply.

After a bit of wandering, Claire was sure of two things: one, she obviously had no luck in finding Angeal or Genesis; and two, she was lost, despite the Infantryman since she didn't notice him. A small whimper escaped her lips as she sat down on the ground, hugging Mr. Fluffy-Feet close to her. "Onii-chan!" she called out, starting to cry.
