I'm not an army of one
She came back to Caius shooting a signal into the sky, Sarah wasn’t sure who he was getting the attention of for sure, though she assumed it would either be one of the members of his group, or more likely given his hurry, a method of getting him there quicker. Caius mentioned flying. Though she wasn't sure how he would do so. None of the allies she could bring forth form her crystals were capable of flight, not even Bennu. Well, he could glide, but gliding and actual flying were two completely different things Did Caius' group have a some mode of transportation then? A machine that served the purpose?
Why not try to tame a flying beast on her end you might ask? The answer to that was simple, and only took one word:Claire.
Caius thankfully didn’t try to stop her from coming along, not that she would have listened to such attempts to begin with after all, people needed help right now! He was all business, and as such came off slightly rude, but no more than what reminded her of Lighting before going off on one of her tasks while they were growing up. She didn’t expect gentlemanly tones right now, more so with the rush he was already in to begin with. He was as concerned about the people’s state as she was she was sure. She didn’t mean to hold him up, but she also knew if this was a dangerous monster, it could be difficult to handle alone while also protecting people, even as experienced as he was. And she was concerned about them to, sure she was a teacher now, but that didn’t mean she couldn't handle herself in a fight to!
”Then calling Bennu is time we don’t have to wait, If it’s no trouble i’ll just ride with you, it's the quicker route”
She kept pace with Caius as he ran towards the entrance with him her adventures had served well in helping her grow quick on her feet. Though she did on this occasion at least wish she hadn’t left her sister’s former blade back at home, but this bow should be able to handle this encounter at least. Not like they would be facing a Long Gui after all right? …..well that wasn’t a fair compression, even the most well built weapons were likely to snap from trying to take that thing down.
Caius’ dragon, despite not being a comparable size (what even could be though?) was no less a sight to behold to her. So then this was Caius' companion then? It was majestic! Serah thought he was beautiful creature herself, his scales shined rather nicely in the sun to. If they weren't in a hurry she’d have taken the time to admire him, but as things were they needed to get to their destination fast so instead s offered a simple:
”Thank you”
(That had not however, stopped the very obvious shining in her eyes as she marveled at him in that moment, Dragons were AWESOME!)
The thank you had been directed to both Caius and his ally before taking the man's hand to help her up, and getting herself situated behind Caius. She surprisingly wasn’t to spooked at the prospect of racing through the skies, but then having a fiance who was welcome to racing throught he streets with her on his back had that kind of effect.
”This... is awesome.... Ready!”
She would inform Caius, so he could be on his way, she was just as determined to get there quickly after all. On the way however, she thought it best to keep herself informed, even as the wind raced through her hair.
”So just so I know, do you have any idea what we're going to be dealing with? Knowing the situation ahead of time makes it easier to plan for, my sister taught me that”
She paused a moment, hoping Caius was to focused on the situation at hand to worry about the implication that a teenager had taught her older sister such a thing.
….It was to complicated an explanation to get into right now.

I'm not an army of one
Serah was disappointed, not in her siblings, but that it didn’t seem they were getting along as well as she had hoped. Originally she thought, that since Claire was now more akin to how Lumna tended to act they would get along much better than they used to. Heck, she had been worried that between them and Mog she’d have a whole new headache on her hands. But.. It seemed fate was cruel like that. Or perhaps it was the gods that were. They, he, she… whoever it was had already played games by messing with Lighting, aka Claire. Apparently this wasn’t enough though as Zell had gone missing now as well, disappeared before he could keep his promise to her other sister. It could be that he was simply missing in action of course but…. Zell was a strong person, if it was a threat big enough to cause something like his disappearance she was sure she, or especially Lumina herself would have heard of such a thing. Zell also hadn’t seemed like the kind of person to just abandon her sister ether, or to go away from a promise so easily. If he had to for whatever reason she was sure he would have told her at least.
Which left her with it being the cruelty of whatever had brought them here instead. Was Lumina not performing as it wished or something? Did she need some jab towards handling things how it wanted? Well big surprise gods once again didn’t know anything about the mortal beings they hung over. Lumina was instead considerably worse. If anything Lumina had ironically ‘become what she hated’ it seemed, and she and ‘Light’ had completely changed ‘roles’ so to speak. Or at least was in the process of it. She got mad at Claire the same way Light would at her when she was younger, and even Serah herself wasn’t immune to general grumpiness and ‘bad attitude’ she had developed. Still, Serah didn’t blame her for it. For Light it had been their parents, for Lumina it was the person she, for all intents and purposes, had loved. It didn’t help she was sure that She was actively mistaken for Claire to boot. Her sister had enough problems in that field at times, without people actively mistaking her for her other half.
Another thing that didn’t help? Claire convincing Lumina to switch places with her so she could play hookie. How could Serah tell? Because Claire still brought her partner in crime with her Which, when it came to Serah’s class resulted in Lumina and Serah giving a knowing look at each other, as well as Serah getting on to Claire later when she pulled these antics.
….didn’t stop her from pulling them again it often seemed.
She had tried her best to make things easier with Lumina on the ‘twin’ angle as well, insisting that unlike Claire she was home schooled, so perhaps she was giving Claire too much ammo to successfully pull her switching game to begin with.
Sigh… this was such a trial.
Today though Serah had decided to spend some time with Lumina.She had done so a few times when her teaching schedule and daily life allowed it, as she knew what her sister was going through right now. It didn’t always go the best, but was determined to be there for her through this rough time in her life.
”Claire, how is business?”
It was an ice breaker, a way to start a conversation. Serah had started calling Lumina by Lumina around Claire, at least to avoid confusion, and he chaos she KNEW her now younger sister would use it for. But in private she still called her Claire, and would do so for as long as her sister wished for her to. She wondered if all this made Lumina changed her mind regardin gthat, but she would tell her if it had right?
She hoped so at least.
”How… are you feeling?”
A hand of comfort was offered to her sister, a light smile on Serah’s face. She knew things were hard for her… but she wanted to be there for her through this.
Being a teacher in Torensten's University wasn’t all that different from she was one in New Bodum, aside from the subject she taught being different. Serah taught the general application of magic, how to safely use it, whether by defending one self or just using it in daily life. It was rather fulfilling if she was being honest, being able to help young minds in this way. Their magic may come from different sources, but how it was applied wasn’t different at all! What was difficult for her was her dear little sister. Claire had kept her promise… in *her* class. But as Serah had expected she found a loophole easily, in that instead she had a tendency to cause havoc everywhere else BUT her classroom. During and at times after school as well. To the point her fellow teachers had asked why she couldn't rein her little sister in,an answer Serah could only give as it being ‘complicated’
Still for all the havoc she was causing Serah was proud of her. Despite her trickery she was doing very well in her classes. She was a very bright girl, which also confused the other teachers. It was not often they had a student that could cause so much chaos, and then also pass their class.
Truly Claire was an enigma to them, but to Serah she was just that:Claire
Today had been another day where she had caused such chaos, leaving Serah in the position of thinking on how to best address things with her sister once she got home. Caius was in a hurry and Serah was distracted, it didn’t make for a good combination as Serah was knocked back!
”Whoah!”
Lucky for her Caius was quick to prevent her fall to the ground, and she was able to balance herself soon after. After making sure she hadn’t ruined her teaching garb somehow she gave a giggle as Caius at first didn’t recognise her. Though once he had she simply shook her head in response to his apologies.
”It’s fine Caius, I’m sure it wasn’t intentional, but what's got you in such a hurry?”
Once Caius had explained things, Serah’s expression quickly changed from one of playfulness to one of determination, despite Caius saying he had to go, and without him so much as asking her to do so, Serah already knew what she was going to do.
”Wait just a moment”
She very quickly ran into a nearby vendor, one who had helped them on a few occasions since they arrived here. Going here was two fold. She needed to get a bow for what she intended, as Claire currently had Mog with her. The other was that, because this vendor knew both her and Claire she had asked asked him to send one of his workers to tell Claire she was going to be late due to this situation.
Why had he agreed to that? Well for Serah she thought he was simply a nice person, which he was, but the truth was a bit deeper.
Claire could manipulate people through her trickery, her words. Her trickery was intentional.
Serah’s ‘manipulation’ however was something she didn’t even intend to do, or notice that she did. But the girl's general sweetness and kind nature had its own way of compelling people to do what she needed….
Bow strown over her back she quickly ran back out of the store and in fact, if Caius had still been waiting on standby as well, she would wave back as she did so.
”Come on Caius we have to stop that thing! You can give me the details on the way!”
Yes Caius hadn’t even asked her to do so and she jumped at putting herself in danger in order to protect people who were defenseless.

I'm not an army of one
A blush of embarrassment came with Caius’ compliment, declaring she to was adorable.
Jeez, she knew he didn’t mean it any deeper than that, but… boy was he lucky Snow WASN’T around! Still since it was just her the older Farron just got that embersiemtn from her as she rubbed the back of her head.
”O…oh thanks Caius”
Endearing indeed, and devilish, still Claire HAD promised… if nothing else her sister was a girl of her word. She suspected she would find SOME way to make her regret her wording but.. She really didn’t want to think on it further on it right now, or rather she dreaded to do so. Mog though? He had looked back with as much a smirk as that pudgy little moogle face could manage.
What had she created here? She was regretting her actions already! But… at least… Claire would be safe right? That was the most important thing… whatever chaos may follow… Though she was able to take a measure of childish satisfaction in that Claire recognised what she meant with her poking. Oh yes, very much that bad Claire, wait till she learned about how aggressive her older form had been about her dates! Really, that things were on the other foot was just some much needed karma!
The subject didn’t stay there for long though, as Claire turned inward, to her inner self.. Inner… fashion self that is. Serah sighed as a result. Claire could make things nicely but.. They might just have to set a budget before Claire ether broke them on fashionable clothes, or the materials to MAKE said fashionable clothes. Still.. A proper mages robe would be something she’d need with her plans to go down this path. If one wanted to be known as a mage it made sense to be presentable as one.
”We’ll get the stuff for it when we arrive, a full garb would od you good i think”
It wasn’t like her older clothing fit her anymore. Even if it did she had the feeling her sister would be quite opposed to that attire right now. She had very much gone from a raging Valkyrie to fastinisa mage after all, those were two completely different pallets. She would need more variety. A bigger focus was when Claire asked about recruitment first, earning herself another look from Serah, who put her hands on her hips. This was what Caius would see upon looking her way as well, though they hadn’t spoken to each other on it, they were pretty much in agreement on whether Claire should join right now in practice.
”Claire, I hope you know your not going off on super dangerous expeditions, you have school, and there's a lot of dangerous monsters out there that i’m sure are involved in mercenary work! Caius is right, it’s to dangerous for you right now, and your studies are more important”
Boy was that the pot calling the kettle black? But it seemed she had jumped the gun though, as Claire was fully aware of needing to attend to her studies, as well as work on being able to utilize Mog’s abilities herself. She was confident they would work together well though, they just needed to get there teamwork down. She knew how reliable Mog could be when he needed to be, so she had no worry in that field.
Didn’t mean she was in a hurry for Claire to get in more dangerous situations right now though.
And then Claire’s true focus became clear when she brought up HER schedule, and how she wouldn't be busy with her teaching all the time.
”Now wait just a minute what are you getting at sis?”
Worse was that Claire’s reasoning was sound. Geez, It made sense, but it was hard to dea lwith the ‘Lighting’ qualities. Well it was Claire so she always had them, they just became more and more focused as she got older. Even now they shined through, she couldn't deny it.
”That… does make sense, it goes both ways, Snow can handle himself almost anywhere but… err.. Planning isn’t ALWAYS his strong suit”
As if feeling the need to defend her man despite herself being the one that said that she added on.
”Oh but he’s GREAT in other fields, like a true hero should! There are a few others I'm worried about coming to though… It… probably is best, I suppose it’s something i can look into when i’m free, if Caius doesn’t mind of course”
It was kind of ironic though, it was almost a complete switch of the rolls she and Claire had before, it was kind of wild to think about. If Serah could have noticed the pain the man felt, she’d have surely tried to comfort him with it. Unfortunately the man was good at hiding that pain, and thus Serah was left none the wiser for now. Instead what she gave him was a bright smile. Both at his offer and the care he showed towards them.
”I’d like that Caius, there's a lot to tell honestly… i’m sure we’ll have more to tell by the time we take you up on that meal”
She looked to Claire at that, the look on her face practically saying that she knew she was going to find some way to make her life chaotic soon. Mog felt it too, but confident in his safe place behind Claire gave a knowing chuckle and spin. Oh he knew there was going to be a LOT to tell going forward.
Serah’s deminere shifted when Caius brought up needing to return however, clasping her hands together, with her expression and tone turning apologetic.
”Ah! I’m sorry for keeping you Caius. And thank you again for helping my sister. Don’t let us keep you here any longer. I’m sure we'll see each other again sometime. Oh and i hope your partner has a wonderful vacation!”
Oh if only she knew how that partner was…..
If Caius did leave at that point Serah would wave him by as he did so, no doubt joined by her sister in that regard. Once he was out of sight she would turn to her younger sister with a small.
”Well then, we should finish getting ready ourselves shouldn't we?”
Thus would begin the journey to their new home, to Serah’s new job and Claire’s new school.

I'm not an army of one
Serah couldn't help but giggle at Claire’s clarification. The fiercest to huh? My Claire was just a different kind of determined like this wasn’t she? Still, it was adorable to see if she was being honest. Perhaps she was repeating it to herself too much, dwelling on it too much, but it was nice to see her sister able to live like this, to live a life for herself. She really didn’t mind it, no if anything she wanted to encourage it. If there was anyone in the world that deserved the chance to live her life without all the pain, all the stress, all expectations…. All the struggles that had been thrust upon them…. It was her sister. It was Lighting, Claire Farron. She just wanted her to be safe, and that was why she wanted Mog to stay with her. Serah was going to do all she could for her sister, be there for her whenever she could. But she knew she couldn't be there every second of every day, Mog could be however, just as she had been with Serah herself for so long through her journey.
….Even if they looked considerably more like the trouble makers at school in this scenario. Serah smiled at the thought regardless, shaking her head.
”And the most adorable to boot I'll say! I am sure, none shall dominate you”
That being said, she did dread the team the duo would become, not in combat, but in a united front against her. Jeez…. Why couldn't Snow or at least Lebreau have landed here so she had SOMEONE on her side? This was only shown to a greater extent with Claire’s continued poking at her about her garb, with Mog not only not coming to her aid But actually crossing his little nub arms and nodding his head in agreement at a (safe) distance behind Claire To which Serah would in fact briefly;y lose her composure again, that mature big sister role she was trying to maintain shattered again like so much dust in the wind. There was indeed a light puffing of cheeks and crossing of her own arms.
Yes, it probably would remind Claire even more of Serah’s childhood. This.. this was just like when they were younger! Agghh she was always like this then!
”Yes it is! This has survived against Slimes, rampaging Chocobos, This one really, REALLY big monster I… can’t remember it’s name actually, AH and an EVIL DRAGON CLAIRE!”
Serah immediately realized how into this she had gotten herself, as well that it was likely exactly what her sister was baiting her into, and coughed. She tried to pick up the shattered pieces of image of maturity as she dusted herself off and put her hands on her hips.
”Ahem like I said… It’s very durable”
……She had just done that in front of Caius to hadn’t she? Who… had a whole group he worked with… and likely communicated with a lot. This…. This was to embarrassing!
Still…. What came all this was that familiar smile from back then too. Maybe it.. Wasn't it so bad?
…Though her reputation wasn’t likely to recover anytime soon.
Both her sister and new acquaintance offered her comfort when it came to her dismay regarding Snow, Caius’ smile reminded her of Gadot, if she was being honest. Really they both had that same feel if she was being honest, it was nice. A matter of time huh? Maybe he was right. Snow had a habit of charging in at the most heroic opportunity after all, just when people need him most… he was a hero, after all. Her hero.
”You think so Caius…? Well… if you’ve seen it so often, maybe you're right… maybe it’s just a matter of time, knowing him, he’ll show up just when he’s needed… he loves his heroic appearances you know”
She gave a light chuckle, remembering her finance’s actions fondly. Claire of course had her own words on the matter. They were brought here to fulfill a role hun? So, what, were they the pawns of some god again? She hoped not… or at least, if they were she hoped it was a good one for once.
Wasn’t that wishful thinking?
Still if that was the case… why was Claire brought in this form? What use was Claire in this form to whatever had brought them here? These thoughts plagued her for a moment as her thoughts tried to figure these things out in her mind.
Maybe so… she wouldn't rebel? Light was littelry the ultimate rebel in the end after all…
Serah noticeably sighed, shaking her head. No, it didn’t matter WHY Claire was summoned here, she would not let her be used this time, no this time she would make sure she was happy. The older sister put a hand on her sister's shoulder and smiled, nodding her head.
”Your right Claire…. Thank you, I’m sure I’ll see him again”
She had to, so many things had kept them apart… but they always found their way back to each other.
Claire gave her no push back on keeping Mog, and she was thankful for that, she needed an easy path for a bit after going through those thoughts
Mog for his part, was having a considerably easier time of things, though he did feel for Serah of course. When Claire nodded his way he did back in turn, giving a twirl. He very much got the intent of what she was getting at, they were going to have a lot of fun together he was sure.
”Excellent kupo! We will make a powerful duo, my rival! We’ll… learn a lot from each other kupo”
Oh yeah Claire wasn’t the only one choosing her words sneakily, no sir.
The way Caius talked about his relationship with Celes though, reminded her of NORA, A team, working together as one… even if they didn’t always agree with each other they always worked as one to get the job done. It was a nice thought… maybe she was thinking of a lot of organizations, but for her… it just screamed NORA, it was there bread and butter.
Well that and rebelling against whatever jerk was in power.
…..maybe there were a few differences.
”She reminds me of…..”
Serah paused a moment, looking towards her sister, then coughed a moment before quickly muttering.
”Older sister”
Claire would get the knock she was making, that's why she said it quickly.
”You know… I think I’d like to meet her to though, when i get the chance, she sounds nice, and I’m used to super strict people~”

I'm not an army of one
Indeed, it had become a Farron habit to divert attention to Mog when needed. The poor fluffball had ended up getting quite a bit lately as a result, not counting the situations he got HIMSELF into! That being said, the moogle took OFFENSE to the thought that he’d sell out his rival, why he’d never! Honesty was a virtue after all, that was all! Even if that honesty conveniently popped up during his desperate attempts to escape Serah’s wrath.
”I’d never kupo! I’m simply…. Helping train my rival! You have to be more smooth kupo, or you’ll never avoid Serah’s rage!”
The moogle nodded, confident he had managed to spin… clarify! Yes clarify, his position, and nothing else. Serah on the other hand chose to stick to Claire’s promise they would stick together, as she was quite used to her partners antics by now. Still despite the delinquent duo she was creating by keeping them together, she did trust Mog to keep Claire safe, she knew he would do his utmost to do so, both for her and because he cared about Claire to, as a friend and rival. Serah rubbed her forehead with a sigh at their antics with each other but smiled. They made a good team; she was happy for that.
”Thank you Claire, Sell out he may be, Mog is very reliable, you’ll be safe with him to help you, I know it, well that and your oh so fearsome magic right?”
She chuckled as Mog puffed out his chest, ruffling her sister’s hair a bit on instinct, she just couldn’t help herself. It was something that had been done to her several times when she was younger by Claire. On another note, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to her, but Claire seemed quite interested indeed in learning to tame the various creatures of this world, even if it was without the magical method Serah herself used. Well, that was just perfect, they’d work on it then, together. Serah had some experience thanks to her power already, and she’d learn more as she guided her sister.
”That settles that then, we’ll work on it in our free time”
Serah was happy to see how much Claire seemed to enjoy Bennu’s company, the same seemed to be true of Bennu as well, it seemed they would have no troubles getting along. She was sure Claire would be able to bond with the other creatures of this world to once they got started. She definitely was thinking to start wi
th chocobo’s. it was likely what her sister would prefer, and she already had some experience thanks to Bennu! She was glad Caius liked her sister’s work, and hoped this Celes approved of it as well, she knew that would mean a lot to her sister. Her confidence was wonderful to see, her sister tended to have it of course, but she knew she had been worried about how this in particular would go…. Something that wasn’t helped by her earlier actions. Though this guilt/happiness of Serah’s would soon give way to the battle over her sense of style. She would NOT be taking this from the girl who grew up to run around in different variants of plate mail!
”I’ll have you know, sis, that I fought all across time in this garb! It was flexible, breathable and only sometimes had to be fixed up, besides I’m pretty sure I’M the one with more battle experience now sis!”
Then things descended quite a bit, to the attire being fitting for time with Snow, rather than combative situations. This caused the older Farron sister to turn beat red as she shook her head and crossing her arms. Mostly because she wasn’t wrong, Snow had liked her outfit when they met back up during her journey with Noel.
”I’ll have you now Claire, what I wear for Snow privately is our concern! And it’s not this!”
She was thankful for the distraction Caius gave, even giving a light sigh of relief. He did have a point, she could try to train her power that way, it could benefit her other two allies as well. One was more… robot like but… same difference right?
”That’s a good point… I haven’t had much chance for it before now, but its definitely something to keep in mind, I’d hate for them to be unhappy, they’ve done a lot for me”, thanks, Caius”
The trio of monsters were the most steadfast allies she had with her other than Noel across there journey. Of course, they deserved to have their own happiness and good times. It was absolutely something she was going to be working on when she had the free time.
Unfortunately for both Caius and Serah, he brought up the prior subject in pretty much the worst way he could, not that that was his fault for doing so. Still Serah’s reaction would likely very quickly form a response as she frowned, rubbing her arm and giving a weak chuckle. If it didn’t the weak tone she took when she did answer would make it all the clearer.
”Ummm… No sadly he has… not come to this world yet, least… I haven’t seen him”
She hadn’t wanted to focus on that, but there it was in her mind again, along with eh other possibiliites that could happen to, possibilities she learned from meeting Fang back then.
Possibilities she wasn’t at all a fan of.
Needless to say, she was thankful that her sister once again changed the subject with her own question, confirming some things with her about Mog, Serah nodded, doing her best to get back into things as she chuckled shaking her head.
”While I have a lot of experience with Mog at this point, I’m much better at magic than I am with Mog’s weapon form, because of that I’m certain I’ll be able to defend myself just fine while he’s with you!”
To prove her point Serah formed a Ruinga spell in the palm of her hand, letting it float there a moment before dispersing it.
”Besides as you pointed out, I have my knife to, so don’t worry ok? You need Mog’s help a lot more than I do. Specilly.....”
Serah sighed, shaking her head as her faced paled a bit.
”With how adventurous I know you two will be, Mog’s reliable as both an weapon and a friend, so don’t you worry”
Taking this chance to Chime in, and to try and brighten up the atmosphere Mog flew up above the trio, giving a playful spin as he called out with cheer.
”That’s right kupo! I am the greatest partner in the realms kupo!”

I'm not an army of one
It had taken her a few days to settle down once she had finished helping Lumina. Days that had been spent applying for her position at the Magic Academy, as well as making sure things were set up well in their new place. Once they were she only had two worries on her mind: Whether she’d be accepted, and of course… How her little sister Claire was doing. She trusted Mog to help keep her safe of course but… she knew how those liked to play together to, play that tended to get them both in trouble if caught. There were also plenty of monsters between the two locations. Of course, sense they would be traveling in the Radiance they should be mostly safe… but what if some of the flying ones got up to them? She didn’t even remember if the airship was armed or not. Still…. The good news was that she did in fact end up getting accepted, just earlier that day in fact. She was accepted for a position as a teacher of White Magic for the academy, something she was quite happy to have been able to accomplish. If there was something she knew a lot about now aside from history, it was magic. She had used it a lot on her journey, gradually growing in its use. She learned from Mog and even Noel how it worked as well. Having the opportunity now to pass all that knowledge on to others… It was a nice feeling. All the better it would make taking care of herself and Claire far easier with a steady income. To that end she had also made sure to dress herself in more Proper Clothing for when she was teaching, an outfit she was still wearing now for meeting up with her sister. Much as said sister predicted, she was currently waiting by the entrance for she and Mog to arrive, (totally not worrying way more than she should in the process) Serah waved to her, and she gave a wave and smile back. Mog to his credit understood Claire completely, in this he had every intent of helping his rival make a good impression! …so long as it didn’t get him in trouble with Serah anyway.
”Don’t worry kupo, you’ve got this! School is nothing for my eternal rival kupo!”
Girl’s hidden mean streak on improper behavior was legendary, even if Claire wasn’t fully aware of it yet as she was now. That was ok, he’d just have to help them avoid that particular death trap.
The pair approached Serah together, with another woman in tow. Was she applying for a position as well? She certainly looked the part. Why was she with Claire though? Moreover, why hadn’t Mog, or Lumina through Mog informed her of this? The pinkette gave a light sigh, she supposed it wasn’t a big deal this time, the woman didn’t seem like a bad person, and if she was applying here she hopefully wouldn’t be a bad influence on Claire… well, it would be fine, if it became trouble she’d just have to handle them at that point.
Her main worry though was how Claire was feeling right now, despite the confidence she usually showed, this was her first day at school, in an entirely new world… that had to be hard. As a result, the first thing she did when the trio cam up to her was lean down towards Claire with a smile, running a hand through her hair in an attempt to comfort her.
”Your going to do great sis~ I just know it, you’re a natural! You’ll be mastering these lessons in no time”
Standing back up she, for now didn’t address Mog, though she’d definitely have questions for him later, something the moogle could tell from the light glare he received.
She then turned to the newcomer, maintaining her smile as she greeted someone new, offering her hand out for a handshake.
”Hello miss, would you happen to be applying for a teaching position to? Oh, if you don’t mind my asking… how did you end up with my sister?”
She didn’t want to be rude, but she did want to know. She was protective that way, even though she was pretty sure the woman wasn’t a threat. That was one thing that had grown greatly after Claire’s age situation changed, Serah was… far more protective in her new role as a big sister, practically like how a mother would be. Besides, last she was unprepared Claire played around with bombs!

I'm not an army of one
The once younger Farron sister walked through the familiar bustling town on her way to meet up with Lumina. Along the way she had picked up some supplies, as well as a bow, just in case she needed it on her trip. It was nothing compared to Mog’s weapon form of course, but she was sure it would be plenty if needed for this trip. Besides she felt much better with Mog staying with Claire, and had made sure to teach her the basics of using Mog in his weapon form just in case. Claire was still a natural when it came to learning those kinds of things… it brought a smile to her face. She trusted Mog to keep Claire safe until she finished this trip. Silly as he could be sometimes, especially with her now little sister, he was a responsible little Moogle, she had no doubts that he would keep her safe. She was also sure Claire would have no trouble fitting into there new home, she seemed more than eager to get started when she left after all!
……..
Was it bad she missed her already?
Was it bad that despite how confident she was that she would be ok, she still worried?
…….
Was this how she had felt every day?
Bringing herself back to focus, Serah decided to focus on the present for now, Lumina, Aka also Claire had told her where to meet up, thus that was where she was currently going, into the market to group up with her. It wouldn’t be long before she spotted her, in the middle of a heated negotiation with another merchant. Letting her sister finished Serah instead took the time to greet her crew members with a smile and wave. When Lumina did finish up she offered her a wave to, though noticed her current attire, probably to help with her business attire. It was funny though… it kind of made her look like Lighting used to. She couldn’t help but give an inner giggle at that, her sister likely wouldn’t appreciate that particular comparison. It was one that would only get more confusing for certain friends when Lumina assumed an older form, making her look even CLOSER. Serah herself wouldn’t be helping at all ether with this confusion, given that she had taken to calling both her sisters by their birth name.
Which was.. the same birth name. Boy, this would be a long day for any familiar face huh?
”Is business going well Claire? I hope the uh… random regressions haven’t affected you to badly…”
For a bit they were able to talk, and Serah conveyed a bit of what she had been through sense going back, including the embarrassing Caius mix up, it was nice talking to her other sister like this, and she quite enjoyed it. It was just to bad they would soon be interrupted by the calling of a thief stealing goods. Naturally, Serah wasn’t about to let some low life steal from anyone, let alone these merchants just trying to make a living. Turning to Lumina she gave a knowing nod. Before taking off in a spring, likely followed by said sister.
”Let’s get that thieving jerk!”
This chase went on for while, eventually leading the duo to a crossroads, leaving them no choice but to stop and thing. Serah’s being here… probably wouldn’t help any familiar onlookers confusion here.
”Sis… which way do you think he went? Should we split up? I’m pretty sure ether of us should be able to handle some thief alone but… if its anything like they are back home there probably crafty”
Serah crossed her arms in thought, tapping her foot to the round. Yes between Serah’s words and Lumina’s wardrobe choice this was sure to be a confusing time for any familiar face who stumbled upon them.
It was a chaotic mix just waiting to be opened up…

I'm not an army of one
Claire’s reaction to her assessment of proper relationships slightly confuses her, but oh well! Maybe if, whatever it was in her statement put her off, she wouldn’t have to worry about her trying to get a partner for a few more years! Serah smiled, shaking her head. Still… it was also true, Serah had a lot of experience with relationships so if that horrible, terror filled time Serah found someone did come…. She wanted her to be prepared. Meanwhile if Claire looked his way Mog would be seen sitting against a nearby rock, using a nearby leaf to try and act like he was reading something on it. The intention behind it would be clear, and probably not help Claire’ sweating. The intention being ‘No comment, kupo’
On another round of words, Meanie Miss Farron relented when Claire’s smile communicated that she would in fact be a good girl, if the smile didn’t the sweat trailing down her face certainly did. Serah didn’t tolerate that sort of behavior in her class, not even from her sister! All her students knew the kind of classroom she kept, and that would be the case here to. She always wanted the best for her students, because she always believed in there potential to be wonderful people. This was if anything, even STRONGER for her now little sister…. Meaning Claire was going to be in for quite the ride when teaching did begin. Things were going to busy in the coming months and years, Serah was certain of that. She would especially busy getting herself into the position she planned to have. It was good she was helping Claire learn to cook because of this, as she might have to make her own meals from time to time with how busy their lives would be. but it would be worth it, to have their lives set in this new world. As a happy little family of her, Claire, Mog and of course Snow once he found his way to her. She knew for a fact Snow would enjoy helping Claire and wouldn’t mind to much the new world if they were together. Well, other than wanting to gather his friends…. Her family, but she was sure it would all come together, life worked in mysterious ways after all.
Serah perhaps, took to much joy in her sister’s reaction to her newly learned twins relationship situation. Perhaps, she went to far but…. It was just so adorable and fun to see her reaction! Her little freak out was both the cutest thing, and several levels of payback. As her freak out continued Serah gave mock pout and patted her head in a ‘there there’ way, all while trying to stifle her giggle. To her little sister’s denial, she only had two words to say-
”Yes way~”
And she continued her denial Serah giggled at how strongly she did so, even stating she wouldn’t ALLOW it to happen. To this Serah gave a playful giggle before deciding to apply a little brain teaser, cupping her chin in her hand thoughtfully, a quizzical look on her face.
”So, let me get this straight, you won’t allow yourself to go out with a guy you don’t approve of? Hmmmm gee, now how would you react to that sis?”
The answer would, Serah was sure not help Claire’s paleness. Of course, Serah wasn’t truly sure if both her sisters liked the same type of people. Nor did she actually assume Claire would actually like the same type of people she and Lumina did. Not that she would WANTED to find out anytime soon. But when she did eventually get someone…. In a few years, maybe ten. She would absolutely give her full support.
And then Claire called out to Mog who, startled floated (with the fear of god being placed in him as he briefly thought Claire had returned to her previous older self) up from his leaf hideout to address Claire’s questions. In response he gave a nod and Serah, knowing what would be coming did not stop Mog this time.
”Well, yes Kupo, but are you sure?”
Once Claire confirmed she wanted to see it Mog would work his magic. Bringing but an illusionary image of not only Zell, but Snow as well for comparison as Mog had last scene him (Which likely wouldn’t help things even a little bit)
”This is Zell Kupo, and this is the hard h… ahem, brave hero Snow”
Mog corrected himself mid-sentence (and with a hint of sarcasm) with a glare from Serah, then continued, flickering over a girl Claire hadn’t scene yet, but would likely recognize due to her similarity to her and Serah. Yes he was showing Claire the few insistences he had seen of Zell and Lumina together, and there reactions to each other.
”As for my opinion kupo he is… a lot like Snow kupo, I’m afraid the Farron family seems to… drawn towards a certain type of man kupo…. Not that I’m an expert on human relations anyway kupo!’
Mog said the words with genuine downess, feeling for her former master and still current rival and, expecting chaos proceeded to wrap himself in the leaf he had been using before, as a kind of make shift armor that was definantly not going to help him if something happened. Serah meanwhile had a look of sympathy on her face, masking the giggles she had inside. Moving by her sister she patted her bag and gave the final blow.
”It’s ok sis, I’m sure its just a coincidence! It’s only mom… me… another part of you…. That’s no much of a track record right…?”
A more serious in the moment brought things down from there chaotic high however, as Claire spoke of her want to meet her other self. Serah of course had no issue with this at all, heck they were going to have to meet her when they went to use her house anyway right? She was pretty sure Lumina would be curious about Claire as well on top of it all. She nodded her head in agreement, giving a gentle, warm smile.
”Of course Claire! Were going to have to meet with her anyway so we can get settled, and I have that trip with her to, we’ll have plenty of time, I’m sure your both going to have a LOT of questions for each other”
Very different questions between the both of them of course, but still. She hoped the two would be able to get along. She knew it took a long time for that to happen before so… she hoped with things as they were now it would be a lot easier for them.

I'm not an army of one
Serah gave a sigh of relief as Claire appeared to relent on going to crazy with the quiz. The last thing she needed was Snow learning all the weird dumb things she did as a child. Sure, the normal stuff was fine, but Serah knew full well that hadn’t been what Claire had in mind with that. She was very much glad she could nip it in the bud here!
Again… so she thought.
Luckly there was a subject she was much more well versed in coming her way. She smiled, a sense of pride swelling in her chest as she nodded confirmation of the question Claire asked. It was clear by the tone she was taking that that much like her knowledge of there home, this was a subject she had gotten very fluent at over the years.
”Of course there is! You must spend time together, show your love for each other… you must support each other, even when things get hard… there’s so much more than just feeding them. But most of all….”
All these serious statements came to the most serious one of all, shown by the sharp look on Serah’s face, and her hand raised confidently in the air.
”You have to train them!”
As Claire explained herself, first acting like it was silly she would cause chaos, then affirming she wasn’t amateurish enough to let her plans get back to her. This caused Serah to lean in close to her sister, a bright smile on her face as she addressed Claire. Despite it being a smile Claire would be able to feel the force behind it, the absolute seriousness with which Serah said the words. The aura of Claire’s sister in that moment was the same pressure all her students faced when they misbehaved, or were going to.
”Your right, I’m sure you’ll be an angel in my class, right sis?”
Once her sister confirmed that the ‘Teacher aura’ would fade away as she nodded her head in confirmation with a less ‘lethal’ smile. She was proud of her sister wanted to apply herself. She didn’t expect her to do any less of course, but it was still a wonderful thing to see and this time... she would be the one to help her see it through, to help guide her dream.
It was pressure sure, but it was also magical to her.
”I know you can become the best mage there is sis, I’m going to be right here to help you. The great Claire~”
Claire seemed to take what she said well, if silently at first. When she did speak of Serah giggled at her reaction. She seemed shocked, but not unhappy, if anything she seemed… in the middle. But she was still glad she told her. She was glad she knew everything now. Though she was slightly surprised her sister wasn’t questioning someone who would logically be her age now running the kind of business Lumina did. Though then again…. Given she just told the story, she PROBALY assumed she was still the original Claire’s age. Serah could only give a wide grin as Lumina asked her to go everything, she did just that, but once she did she leaned in, right into Claire’s ear.
”Guess we might just like the same kind of guy huh sis?”
The wording, along with what she repeated would make it clear Lumina’s boyfriend…. was like Snow And though it wouldn’t be the soul crushing thing it would be if it was her older self… It was definitely still going to mess with her, and Serah couldn’t help but give a inner giggle at that. You reap what you sow Claire!
”Protective…. Hardheaded… heroic…. Sweeps you off your feet… yep~”
On a more stable ground she smiled warmly as Claire gave her thoughts on her dream. She couldn’t get over how nice it was just… talking like this with each other. About there feelings, even about boys. It was all so wonderful… She had a point. They should make the most of the time they were here. She would make a life for her here until Snow found her, and then they both would here as well. But more than that she would see to her sister having a bright and wonderful future ahead of her. She would make for a wonderful mage she was certain of it. And she would make a bright life for herself as well, Serah was going to watch every moment. Every moment Claire more than deserved to have, had always deserved to have. More than anyone else she knew Claire deserved to just live the life of a ‘person’ to know how it feels, to have crushes (please god no) to make mistakes, to have triumphs… to be happy.
