[ it's a rather amusing exchange, she's not going to lie. and if the conversation wasn't so serious, lumine would've snorted and laughed out loud. but as it stands, laughing will put a target on her, so she remains quiet, staring at the wall across her.
but her amusement dissipates when the conversation turns towards the incident in inazuma and lumine finds her lips thinning once more, her expression growing impassive. it's something she hasn't told anyone, and even aether has only heard bits and pieces from her, not the entire story. and for good reason, knowing the consequences if someone were to learn of what had happened. which is why, once again, she remains silent despite the question for a long moment.
a part of her urges herself not to carry the blame. but at the end of the day, she's the one who couldn't break free, who sat at the back and watched while innocent people get slaughtered by her own hands. ]
... Yes, [ lumine replies quietly. ] They were caught off-guard while protecting me.
