something of a placeholder while I try and grapple for brains.
[Happenstance never seems so when it involves Lacus, and even in this instance it can't truly be called accidental. Actively seeking Tyki had hardly been her goal for the evening -- the prayer facility wouldn't be a place she'd have expected him -- as the other issues on her mind, Kira and Sougo and matters of her own protection, take precedence. Yet it would be untrue to say these thoughts didn't circle about to Tyki often enough. Not quite tangentially, a fact of which she's all too aware.]
[Like it or not, and she doesn't and presumes he is of like mind, Tyki is a part of her life now. Not a part she entirely loathes and that more than anything frightens her. So no, she wasn't expecting nor planning to see Tyki playing that familiar, haunting music as she stands in the doorway of the prayer facility.]
[However, there are times life brings one things they need in spite of what might be easier or more comfortable. Lacus does not run from her troubles. Whether he will, she shall see.]
I didn't know you played. [Her voice is soft and carries through the room. The voice of singer and a leader, though even she is hard pressed to call herself either anymore.] And I didn't expect you here.
[Just confirming that she hadn't intended this. She is wearing his gift around her neck, her fingers curled in the beads, toying with them, and this might betray that Tyki wasn't exactly out of mind.]
