Meer: Clinging
Meer Campbell is a woman on a mission. And she cannot be stopped. She glances left and right, her altered blue gray eyes squinting between the throng of soldiers.
She knows that he is around somewhere.
She knows this because she can feel it; there is a bond between them that cannot be broken.
A few men have stopped to stare at her, she smiles politely at them and quickly moves away.
She likes her new authority. She likes how she is loved by many.
Her words listened to. Her actions regarded with respect and awe.
She wants to think that it is because of herself—her perfect portrayal of Lacus Clyne.
She shakes her head and let out a chuckle.
No. She is Lacus Clyne.
She sees it when his olive green eyes peer down at hers.
He sees Lacus in her, and much much more.
She giggles and resumes her little search.
She finds him by the balcony, his midnight hair blowing against the breeze; eyes turned somewhere far away.
Trying to hold down her excitement, she approaches him quietly.
As she nears him, her eyes are drawn to a red pebble-like pendant he twirls in his fingers.
It is a necklace he hides beneath his rigid clothes. Many times she has seen him with it, mostly when he is by himself deeply in thought.
Though curious, Meer will not ask him because she never does.
But in the back of her head, she wonders. Does it have to do with that blonde girl in Crete?
She quickly stomps at the thought.
It is ridiculous.
Athrun would not do that to her.
She grins widely and grasps his arm. "There you are! I've been looking all over for you!"
Meer Campbell is a woman on a mission.
And she is clinging to him with her life.
