"Former Sergeant here," Lightning admitted softly. "Comes with being a l'Cie. Suddenly everyone's afraid to be seen near you." Which was a little understandable from the paranoia Cocoon had suffered from for so long.

And a couple of feet down the hallway, or what could pass for one since there was no sky here, there was the place she'd scouted out. It wasn't the fanciest, but it was nice and would serve their purposes nicely. Opening it up, she took Celes into the large main room, where it appeared there was a couch.

First stop, getting the woman to rest a little bit. "Doesn't look like anyone lives here. I'll claim it for now." She paused as she tried to guide Celes down to the couch. "You're welcome to stay here as long as you need to." Or want to. Whichever. Lightning didn't care and it would be nice to have company.
