Welcome to Gaia! ::

There were still so many things Ciela was learning about the ‘big city’, which apparently strange creatures called ‘youma’, and also that people sometimes had magic, which… included her, strangely enough! It was a lot to take in for one ‘country girl’ who had been living on a farm out in the middle of nowhere until about a month ago, and Ciela, or Shiratani Unsuikyo, was determined to learn as much as she could, to be better prepared.

To start, she was going to have to expand her network much much bigger than previously thought. Making friends and connections had already been a thing Ciela had set her mind on doing upon moving to Destiny City, seeing as she had grown up mostly with just the farm animals for company, but now? Even more so.

The newbie Lysithea page was still familiarizing herself with the concept of being able sense other powered people like herself nearby, though she hadn’t yet been able to differentiate between factions. This person whose ‘aura’ she felt from a distance didn’t feel like they were on the side of evil, so she decided it was safe to approach, and to hopefully make their acquaintance.

“Hello, excuse me, might we be able to chat for a moment?” Shiratani called out, as she made her way towards the direction she ‘sensed’ the other person.

'Lysithea'... there was that name again, the one she had first heard when she had picked up that strange book the other day, when running into that 'youma'. From what little she understood at this time, Lysithea was the one whose world she was a knight of, not that it entirely made any sense to her yet. Ersa spoke of being their cousin- or spoke of it in the past tense, actually- and Shiratani felt a twinge of sympathy for the senshi. Even though it had only ever been her and her grandparents for as long as she could remember, family was family, and it must have been tough to have someone you were close to like that only for that bond to one day... disappear.

"I'm sorry," Shiratani offered, because it seemed the most appropriate thing to say, "I haven't met Lysithea yet myself, but..."

"I hope that you are able to see her again- the two of you must have been very close."

Perhaps, even, the two of them might meet Lysithea together? Shiratani was curious about what this Lysithea person was like herself, or what they looked like- she hadn't missed Ersa's ears and tail, but given everything she had been through in the last couple of days, combined with living far out in the rural farmland and away from suburbia, well. She'd just kind of accepted it for now as one of those things that happened in the big cities.

"I'm Shiratani Unsuikyo," Ciela said, though it felt odd to say that name still, and took Ersa’s hand in her own, "It's nice to meet you, Ersa."
