And so the Sky still keeps turns [Private, Lexia]

Lexia sighed a bit to herself. This reality, this realm didn't make much sense to her, everything that happened was either for good or for bad. Just like every other place she had been to. But at the same time, there was a unique sense of peace, as if there was someone watching over the entire plane to ensure that it still kept turning. XaYang had allowed her to come back here for a few days almost alone. However she couldn't help it as her feet continued to walk towards the first place that she had been. The ramen shop. Noodles.

She remembered that much at least.

With a small smile, her metallic boots clinking gently when they came into contact with the ground, she dogs ran past her, people waved. Lexia gave a polite smile and incline of her head, acknowledging their existence. Which surprised her a little. She wasn't exactly a friendly person, yet here she was, attempting to be kind to complete strangers. Those who were before her one day, and yet, gone the very next. Her eyes spotted a rather unusual lass as she sat down on a bench. She seemed relatively young, maybe the same age as Lexia herself. Although she had learned one thing here. Looks were rather deceiving. Shrugging it off, she almost walked by her. Until the lass rested her head against their hands.

Almost sighing in annoyance, but compelled by a form of compassion or worry, Lexia stopped shy of them. "Hey, are you alright?" The question was simple, but enough to convey the emotions that she held for the girl before her.

Which was nothing, although, it still carried traces of worry.

The way that she just turned her head and rose her eyes towards her caused Lexia to take a half step back. The iris-less eyes seemed to stare into her soul for a few moments, before a nervous chuckle came from them as their rose their hand to scratch the back of their head. The softness and honesty of their voice caught Lexia off guard, and she blinked a little in surprise. How could someone be so honest, yet be so troubled? It was clear to her that, through this lady's speech, she was holding something rather large back.

But Lexia refused to pry.

Her feathered arms resembled that of parrot-wings, gorgeous yellows, blues and reds sewn through it, which matched the ladies earrings and colour around her eyes. To be honest, the overwhelming colours made Skylar truly stand out in a crowd, however at the same time, it was refreshing. Something that wasn't too inhuman, yet at the same time, was rather human as well. She guessed. Whatever, she was rambling internally at this point in time. The woman stated her name and raised her hand, to which Lexia took it firmly.

"Lexia." She returned, a small frown on her face. Despite the other being female, their grip was surprisingly firm, almost tight around her hand. After shaking it just twice, she let go and gave a small laugh. "You didn't really worry me. But regardless, it's fine. But I do have to ask, what's with the feathered outfit? Did you manage to steal it from somewhere here?" Lexia asked bluntly, before realising how badly that could have been taken.

She internally shrugged. If she took it badly then, well, what was she going to do about it?

Out of the ordinary? Lexia raised an eyebrow. That was almost certainly a rather underestimating statement in her eyes. She'd never seen anything like it before, at all in her eyes. But that was as far as she could remember. Since practically wandering in this plane...

She shook her head, realising that Skylar was speaking a story to her, of her own origins. It was correct that Lexia was a foreigner to these lands, just like this girl was. Remaining quiet and vigilantly listening to her, the details that she spoke. To Lexia, it was quite different to her. After the woman finished speaking, she gave a small nod. So she didn't have a choice but to come here? That was completely different to her circumstances. With a nervous laugh, Lexia rose her mechanical arm to rub the back of her head. Strands of hair almost got caught in the joints. "Well, you see... I'm a special case. I don't have a lot of memories from my previous life. I just remember faces, glimpses of what I had. But I remember being barred in a prison. Or something like it... Unable to help myself from doing horrible things. I could only watch helplessly, but truly, that's all I remember. If you were looking for a story from me, then I'm sorry, but I'm going to disappoint you in that regard, because I simply know and remember nothing at all."

With a nervous laugh, she pulled her hand away and began to rub at the edge of her other elbow.

The words Nameless, no, the name jogged something in her memory. For a few moments, Lexia thought about it and could remember something about those two things which the girl before her mentioned. With a small nod, she considered what Skylar had said. "I have met the two that you're thinking of I believe, but one was more in passing than anything else. Her eyes... Always unnerved me." She said with a small laugh. However, perhaps this foreigner was right with what she was saying. If either of them could help her, even just slightly, with her false memories, she would do anything to have them restored.

But that thought only stayed with her for a few moments- what would happen if her memories were horrid, what if she were a slayer of millions? What if it was worse than that?

That was when Skylar offered to go and grab something to eat. With a laugh, she nodded. "I have nothing better to do." She admitted honestly, before glancing towards where the female gestured. Food did sound good, but something rung a little alarmingly in her. The other had jobs that plagued her? With another gesture, she began to walk with Skylar towards the stall. "If you don't mind me asking, what sorts of jobs have you been doing, they seem to be plaguing your thoughts."

She asked, flicking her hair over her shoulder to get it out of the way. And mainly out of her face, so she could watch where she was going, especially because of the random people walking through the streets. Dogs stopped to go and dig through the trash as they continued to walk forward, towards the opening of the stall. At least the smell of the food was appealing from where she was standing...

Although she was expecting to be denied the information, actually being declined wasn't exactly the nicest thing which she had experienced. Regardless, Lexia gave her a small nod as she took a seat near the rather unusual feathered lady. Although she was asked as to what she wanted, the blue eyed girl gave another shrug.

She'd been doing that a bit recently.

"If it's alright with you, I'd just like something simple. Whatever is cheap and easy, if that is any help at all?" Lexia asked, to which the waitress nodded, her smile bright on her face. "Sure thing, that's not a problem at all! I'll bring you both out some water soon... Is there anything else which I can get you?" She shook her head, and the younger lass nodded and, with a giant smile on her face, turned and almost bounded away like a deer. With energy like her own, it was almost impossible for Lexia to look or even be sad. Skylar, the atmosphere around them, the sheer enthusiasm and willingness to get in there and do something that these two seemed to have... Lexia blinked. Why was she analysing the similarities between a waitress and Sky? With an internal laugh, she moved a little and returned eye contact back to Sky. "Well, if you can't tell me what sorts of things you've been doing, why not chin up and just carry it a little easier? Probably's harsh, but seriously, you looked absolutely miserable back on the bench."

Lexia pushed a little, to which she could almost see Skylar's eyes relenting just a little. "Well, at least find someone to talk to regarding these issues." Lexia said with a small smile, almost giving a bit of a laugh. She would have offered herself, but what was the point? Lexia couldn't even remember if she was the sort of girl who could carry other peoples burdens...

She remembered virtually nothing, the past life a simple blur covered by a thick veil.

"Not really, perhaps XaYang, but aside from that, no one around really that I know and after all, I don't exactly know anyone from here. Aside from a stranger, he was... with me when I was dog sitting one time or another, he was nice enough." Lexia said with a faint smile, "To be honest, I would like to see that person again, however, I just can't remember their name. But really, I know what you mean as a final place. Some people end up here through... Rather unusual means. I guess though its a safe haven of sorts... People get one final chance here." Her voice had almost dropped to a whisper, her mind almost seeming as if it were becoming mildly disjointed. She was thinking, deep in thought, her memories rolling back to those moments. It didn't last long, but they seemed more precious to Lexia than she would admit.

Realising that she was almost spaced out, she cleared her throat and returned her gaze to Skylar spoke again. Lexia's brow pulled into a frown. Ramen? That's what the noodles were called? She gave a small shrug, before nodding. "I have, just once before. Although, admittedly, it was a rather fun struggle to try and eat it, especially with my... knack of not knowing how on earth to use chopsticks." Lexia replied with a grin, and thanks to where she was sitting, she noticed their waitress bringing over their orders. With a subtle wave back of her hand, she leaned back and to the side as she arrived, arm moving to place her order down in front of her. "Thank you." She said easily, before glancing again at Skylar.

"So, how long have you been here?"

Lexia shot Skylar a smile, before she raised the chopsticks. A faint 'click' symbolised that Skylar had mockingly tried to snap at Lexia with them. She gave a small laugh, before tucking away into her meal. After several attempts to pull the noodles free from the bowl of broth, she glanced across to what Skylar was doing. Lexia felt her eyes widen. That girl had already almost finished the entire bowl off and was onto the broth!

Lexia quickly finished off eating the few pieces of noodles that she'd managed to stuff into her mouth before she smiled to Skylar. "So that means you're still, relatively, new to this place and you remember your original world rather well... Would I be wrong in assuming that?" Lexia asked, somewhat rhetorically. Skylar answered her though with the shake of her head, and as such, Lex pushed forward with what she was going to say. "If you remember your home reality so easily, would you mind telling me about it? What it was like, what you use to do, the jobs, your roll in your realm? Anything and everything that you're willing to part with, I would honestly love to hear it all." Lexia said confidently, a smile on her face before she looked back down to the bowl.

For a few moments, she just stared at it. Skylar was already looking to order a second bowl, and Lexia had barely begun the first, meaning that Skylar was starving. However it raised another rather pressing question.

Just how was she going to eat the rest of the first bowl without looking like too much of an idiot?

Lexia was more than surprised with the level of detail Skylar went into as she freely recalled her what she remembered of her realm. It sounded gorgeous, the very thought of two moons foreign in her eyes. All she remembered was the streetlights of the cities in Urban city. That's all she was familiar with. Anything and everything else didn't exactly make too much sense to her, but the way that Skylar spoke, the way that the females eyes just shone with excitement and memory... She knew that it was the truth. It had to be. Something that precious, something that brought so much joy into someones eyes, yet at the same time, held their own form of wariness, it was incredible. The passion, the zeal... It was amazing.

"You seem to speak highly of where you were from." Lexia said gently, and Skylar simply nodded while she ate. Letting the poor girl eat the other bowls which she was obviously almost dying to do, Lexia went back to trying to tackle these darn chopsticks in the broth. Eventually, not wanting to admit exactly how long it took, she managed to eat the noodles and get down to the last trickle of the liquid at the bottom. After a few long moments, she decided that she couldn't be bothered trying to drink the broth.

"I don't understand how you've done it, you came from somewhere so grand, so beautiful and peaceful, and you come here and just get knees deep into this world. Don't you miss the old ways? Don't you miss where you have come from?" Lexia asked, completely unaware of the fact that Skylar could have taken that in a rather bad and odd way. A way that would more than likely make her feel rather guilty.

The conviction in her voice was enough to make Lexia almost do a double take. She was serious about all of this, about not minding that she had left everything behind? Whoever this Council was which decided to use her well, that made Lexia think twice. Maybe it was a good thing that this poor girl had been given a second chance here. Although, earlier when she had finished the third bowl, Lexia noticed the hungry look in the girls eyes. With a knowing smile, she called over another waiter, ordering another few bowls for herself. Although, of course, she was going to hand them straight over to the woman in front of her. They nodded and left quickly, and Lexia gave a small nod of her head.

"I see..." Lexia said slowly, her words failing her otherwise. How could she find anything else to say? "Going by what you have said, then it is true... This place surely has given you a second chance at life." With that, Lexia gave a small sigh. For a few more moments, she wondered what it would have been like for her to be able to actually remember what it was like for her in the past. What it was like back in her own realm. She cleared her throat a little, readjusting herself before giving Skylar a smile.

"Well, I suppose, at least you have the chance to somewhat live a proper life instead of what you have lived previously?" She offered as a reason, somewhat testing the waters still.

Upon just seeing her gaze drop to the bowl in front of her, Lexia gave a knowing smirk and pushed them both towards Skylar. "Dig in, Skylar, you seem famished still." Lexia almost paused for a few moments. Skylar had repeated a few times that the she would have died to that man, but why was he so significant, aside from being the last thing which she had seen before being thrown into this place? For a few long moments, her mind toyed with the idea of those two seeing one another again.

Lexia would almost be willing to take bets on the fact that it wouldn't exactly go too well. Maybe a small fight? Or a large one... After all, there was no telling just who would and wouldn't end up in this realm.

For the next few minutes as Skylar was eating, Lexia couldn't help but look down at the robotic hand. Slowly she tapped her fingers against the wooden surface of the table, her eyes a little remorseful, but at the same time, thankful. Maybe it was a good thing that her memories had forsaken her, as if they hadn't, she would be able to remember exactly how she lost her arm, what took place and the pain that went with it. But seeming it wasn't there, and all there was was the pieces of metal hooked into her skin to give her the ability to move it... She was thankful, despite everything, Lexia was rather thankful for it.

"I'd give almost anything to have my memories back, but... If I had a case similar to yours, maybe it's a good thing I don't remember how this happened." She said gently, gesturing to her mechanical hand.

Lexia's eyes almost light up, as soon as she mentioned that she could have a normal arm again. A normal, flesh arm. Something that wouldn't react disastrously with her own magic. Something which would be reliable, something that would be so normal! That was almost a dream come true for her, and she wasn't able to keep a smile from forming on her face. "Something like that would be amazing! A proper hand without having the mechanical side of it would be grand, especially because it wouldn't have a terrible habit of basically blowing up in my face if I forget to take it off! Do you know exactly who would be able to fix an arm like this?" Lexia asked rather enthusiastically, before raising the metal arm, the shining steel something which she had become rather accustomed to. Not with her own will, but due to something happening, that she didn't want.

Something about it being blown up?

The memory was there for just a moment, his white mask right in her face, and a red flare. Something from her that arced over and melted the mask against his skin. It seared him, burned him,  and he pulled away and left her. But after that, Lexia didn't remember. But just as quickly as it came, the memory from it was pulled away from her. Her excitement returned though, as she looked to Skylar. She knew a way for her to be able to get a new arm! A fleshly arm which wasn't mechanical!

That made her heart soar.

It was with that last statement that Lexia was sorted. A Legion member? Finding them hopefully wouldn't be too hard and, if she could manage it, help them or allow them to find favour with her so that she could restore her arm to what it previously was. "If that's the case, I'd be more than happy to try and find them. Especially if it means getting my arm back." Lexia stated surely, a smile blooming on her face. She was happy, joyful, just so that they could finally have true feeling back in her hand instead of this weirdly mechanic thing. She hated it with a passion. Her hand coiled a bit further, slightly pushing into the wood and making small ruts through its formerly perfectly flat surface.

"But umm, if you don't mind, I'd better get going soon. After all, the sooner I can find them, the sooner that I am going to be able to get a new and proper arm back. Also, I don't suppose that you an easy way to find them? The people who you were talking about?" She asked, slowly pushing herself up from the table. She left a few coins near Skylar, which would be more than enough to pay for what she'd had. Or maybe it was even enough to cover the pair of them, Lexia had no idea. She was still getting use to the whole system which was running here. Although, it wasn't like she was able to remember anything else like Skylar could.

And after her questions were answered, she would simply say her thanks and leave.
