Luciel stopped Lucille as she made her way to her parked car, asking in his usual nervous manner if he could tag along to the temple. The unaging woman gave him a smile before fishing her car keys out of her purse. [color=orchid]"Of course you could come along,"[/color] she answered, unlocking the car remotely and approaching the driver's side door. [color=orchid]"I always appreciate the company. It is never a bad idea to have back-up as well."[/color] Lucille waited a brief moment for her younger partner to get in her fancy car before she would take off. The drive wouldn't take too long, as traffic was dying down around now, but that didn't mean the trip would be silent. [color=orchid]"I had always liked the cars like Mercedes-Benz or Bentley when I was younger, but my husband loved the fast cars. I could never understand why because he couldn't well drive them at top speed without getting in trouble. But I guess that's just what men do. As long as the ride is comfortable and smooth and I don't have use a clutch then I'm happy."[/color] Lucille rambled on with various anecdotes and funny stories for the duration of the drive, whether Luciel was comfortable with that or not.

[color=orchid]"... and that was when I said to him 'I am getting my damn passport and going to the Congo' but by that night I realized I was over-reacting and talked it through. Many problems can be solved by using your words, dear,"[/color] Lucille finished as their car pulled into the deserted parking lot to the Setsuna Temple. The ominous and active thunderclouds overhead didn't seem to do much to Lucille as she rather casually stepped out of the car and waited for Luciel to exit before locking it. They could already see one of the juveniles vandalizing the property, but Lucille was first occupied by adjusting her coat and removing her sunglasses. The sun had completely set by now so there was no need to have them on. Instead they were banished to her purse, which she kept slung over her shoulder as she confidently strode towards the temple and the Raijuu boy. It wasn't until after she climbed the initial set of stairs did she even acknowledge the presence of the green-haired boy.

She looked over her shoulder at Luciel behind her. [color=orchid]"Remember: these are kids. They might be misbehaving but we do not need to hurt them... at least not severely."[/color] With that final reminder out of the way she settled her multicolored eyes on the Raijuu boy and approached him. [color=orchid]"I don't think that's very nice,"[/color] Lucille greeted, speaking louder than usual to make sure she got his attention. [color=orchid]"Vandalizing a place of worship like this is very rude. I came here to convince you and your friends to cease this activity."[/color] She was very straightforward and sincere already, probably not very surprising for Luciel but perhaps it would be for the Raijuu boy. Lucille did use a gentle tone, something one wouldn't expect coming from a woman that was here to stop them. [color=orchid]"Are your friends here? Can I speak with them too?"[/color] And [i]now[/i] Luciel might be surprised. She was practically asking the hoodlum to get strength in numbers. All the advantages of a possible confrontation would seemingly go to these Black Fang kids, but Lucille didn't show any body language that would indicate nervousness. It was the opposite in fact: complete confidence. Whether that confidence was in her capability or that of the teenagers would remain to be seen.
