Hello. Considering it's only been a few days (at the time of writing) and I already have a few reviews, I've decided to hurry up and produce the second chapter. The computer at my house is currently and indefinitely out of order, but thankfully, my school has a computer lab. A little strange that a senior would use a school computer to write fanfiction, but writing these is the only fun part about being here otherwise.

Last time I left you all with a dilemma. Sena accidentally spilled it to Luna, and while she was still confused by his words, Sena told her he liked Lambda. Lambda of all people. To be honest, I personally think she's pretty, but yeah, you can't exactly expect to have a relationship with somebody who doesn't have any emotions.

Well, to be more precise, she had emotion for Ragna when Nu was in there, but just letting you know… I'm treating Lambda and Nu as different people here. Lambda is Nu's older sister (she was activated first) and in spite of the whole change, Lambda will appear outside her armor (no eye patch though). Considering we only saw that one bit where she's begging for mercy, the character's interaction in romantic situation will be a little different than you expect. Kinda weird how I thought this out, huh? I'll just let you read.

Two: Thought So.

"If I remember correctly, that Lambda girl lives around here." Luna said as they approached Kagutsuchi's port. "Only a few people actually live here, so it was easy to remember… Hey Sena? Speak up! You've hardly said a think since we left Orient!"

Sena couldn't speak, or rather, he didn't want to. He was currently pondering his situation and what to do. He couldn't even hear Luna. 'Trinity fell asleep before I could ask her anything… Please! Wake up and help me!'

"Sena!"

"Y-Yeah?"

"We're here." She pointed out over the small fence to the large mechanical clock that the Kagutsuchi Port was known for. A great number of airships lay in dock, and one was hovering overhead.

"Whoa…" The sight enamored Sena. "It always amazes me no matter how many times I see it."

"Which is not very often. Geez Sena, you're so sentimental." This was, of course, just one of the many achievements made through continued use of Armagus, but still, Sena stared. "Sigh… C'mon Sena. Let's go."

"Alright…" Sena had been hoping that Luna would be as interested in the sight as he was. Unfortunately for him, she wasn't.

"Now, where was it again? Take a right down here?" Luna walked them down a relatively empty street to a small house among few others.

"Luna, um, why is it you're so intent on this?"

"Why? Because my little Sena has finally grown up! I don't exactly agree with your taste in women…" she said, pondering Lambda's cold indifference, "… but as your better half, I support your horrible choice!"

"My better half…?"

A noise came from the door. As it opened, they were met with the face of a cold, pale, emotionless woman. She wore a patch over the right of her two red eyes. Her hair was floor-length, silver and braided. She wore a white/blue mantle over her body, and something that looked like shorts. "Good Day…" She said without any warmth, "Can I help you?"

"Oh, Nu?" Luna asked before Sena could say anything, "Sena wants to talk to your sister."

"… Understood." Nu turned back into her house. "Lambda. There are is a person here to see you."

"There is?" Said a slightly happier voice. Overjoyed that somebody actually came to visit her and not her sister, Lambda's guard dropped for a bit and as a result, Luna and Sena were taken by surprise when she came to the door. By this point, Lambda had regained her composure and retained her emotionless façade. "Who is it?"

"Uh, hello." Luna greeted. "My friend Sena wants to talk to you."

As Sena took control, he looked over Lambda. He hadn't seen her outside her Murakumo armor before. She looked almost the same as Nu. The only difference was her human skin tone, light blonde hair, and her black mantle. "What is it that you need?"

"Um… well…"

"Go on, Sena, say it!"

Unable to find a solution to the predicament he got himself into not one hour ago, he did only what he was expected to do.

"Do you want to go out sometime?"

Lambda, perplexed at this unusual question, asked "Out where?"

"You know… out as…"

"A couple." Luna jumped in. "He wants to go on a date!" She said, dragging the "a" sound out as cutely as possible.

"L-Luna!"

Lambda blushed slightly. "I'm sorry, would you say that again?"

Sena sighed. "Would you please… go on a date with me?"

"… Yes."

From behind Lambda, Nu's arms wrapped around her. "Oh, sister! I'm so happy that somebody asked you!" Nu sounded much happier than the cold, distanced person who opened the door before. "Now you can finally be like Nu!"

Behind them both, a white haired figure wearing a red coat approached. "What's everybody doing at the door? You called me over for dinner, but it feels weird eating alone in another person's house."

"Oh, Ragna! We were just talking with this person here!" Nu pointed to Platinum.

"…" Ragna just stared. Platinum stared back. "You again… is making my life difficult your job or something?"

"Ragna, this person asked Lambda out!"

Ragna looked confused. "Which one?"

"Sena did." Luna answered.

"Se… na?" Lambda asked.

"That would be me." Sena cleared his throat. "So… is it a no?"

Lambda thought. She had heard a lot from Nu about what it's like to date somebody, but never had she thought about going through with it. She nodded her head and said, "I will."

"Congratulations sister!"

"Great job Sena!"

As the praise went on, even Ragna had to smile a bit at what had just transpired. "Hey, good for you."

But all this praise made Sena feel worse about what was happening. 'I think Lambda is pretty, I really do, but I didn't actually intend to ask her out! I was supposed to ask Luna…' It was too late to take back anything now!

"So… where should we go?"

"Um…"

"Let me handle this! You're a rookie when it comes to this stuff Sena!"

'Oh what, do you have experience to go on?'

"Um… Well, it's almost dark out… Oh, Ronin-Gai is beautiful at this time of night…" Sena said.

"Oh. Um, yeah! Just what I was gonna say!" Luna was taken back by his decision. Ronin-Gai? But wasn't that home to that loud ninja, Bang? What if they ran into him? Luna didn't like him much.

Over in Ronin-Gai, the lights were extremely bright. They hung from the rooftops and shone brilliantly. The architecture of this small town was unique, and relaxing.

"Ah…" Sena looked around like a small child on a field trip. "It's so beautiful…"

Lambda looked down at her smaller companion. "Yes. It is." Her voice, lacking any believable emotion, had little strength behind it.

Sena looked up at Lambda. "You know… I've been wondering." He was trying to keep a conversation in this "date".

"Yes?"

"You sounded happy earlier, before we saw you. And now you don't sound as happy. Why… are do you sound so empty?" Sena put his hand over his mouth, realizing this may be an offensive question.

"Well… there is no real reason behind it."

"Oh please!" Luna shouted out. "You sounded so happy to finally have visitors, and now you're an emotionless machine? I don't believe that for a second!"

"Luna!"

Lambda looked down at the floor. "Nobody can get close to me…" Lambda crossed her arms. "I saw Nu… she was crying when she and Ragna fought. Every time they finished an argument, she would run up to her room and cry. Still, they always apologize to each other. She loves Ragna. She acts cold to everybody but Ragna to keep from getting emotionally hurt by them. Because at least Ragna comes back to her…"

Sena looked up at her. "Lambda, I didn't…"

"If I close myself off as well… I won't get hurt."

"But… you won't be happy either." Sena said. "You may be dodging pain, but you won't get to experience the happiness your sister has felt."

"…"

"You may be safe, and I don't have a say in it. But… I think the pain is worth it sometimes."

Lambda looked at Sena. She gave what looked like a tiny smile, nodded her head and said, "… Yes. Understood."

Platinum and Lambda walked around Ronin-Gai for a while before returning to Lambda's home.

… So how do you like the second chapter? I know you may be disappointed, but don't be. Lambda's story actually reminds Sena of something, but who knows? In any case, have a great day.
