Lightning hesitated at that question and looked away, one hand on her hip as she thought about how to answer. She could be perfectly honest with the other woman and admit that she was. Or she could deny it entirely and not run the risk of anyone here ever hunting her down. Wasn't like she'd never been hunted before.

"...I am. I'm a l'Cie."

Lightning glanced back down at Celes and moved into a position where she could help the other woman up a little easier. "If it hurts too much to walk, we'll find another way through. There's a townhouse place nearby I can take you to. It's better than sitting here."
