( Lumine crossed her arms with a hand to her chin as she tried to think back. Listening to him talk about how he felt the same familiarity as her the moment they met in his office. It's funny, it felt like saying his first name was an intimate privilege, as if only those close to him called him it. But she doesn't know any other name to call him.

Turning her head to look back at him, his question about her family... Looking forward away from him, wondering why she always felt so uncomfortable revealing things about herself. As though no one should learn a thing about her, that she should keep others at arm's length.

Giving a soft shrug, she looks up at the starry night sky as though she felt a weird connection to them. Which was absolutely impossible... Insane even... )

There... really isn't much to say about my life... It's always just been Aether and I, we were orphans. Never knew our parents, but it was okay because we had each other. ( She turns her body to face him sideways, looking him in the eyes. ) We moved here to start a new life, my brother got promoted and I sold my old shop to open a new one here...

( She frowns, brows furrowed down at the ground, gold eyes shifting to show her trying to search through her memory. ) .... When we moved here, we took Paimon as part of the family after saving her... There's not much to my story, honestly...
