[ she wants to be friends with Lightning! even if she wasn't courting her brother, she knows that she means a lot to Ignis as a friend. people like that should stick together, and she seems pretty badass to boot. ]
I think it's just me, actually. I've never brought anyone home to face Gladdy... He'd probably scare them off before getting a word in.
No idea. I guess it helps that he's tall... But then he opens his mouth.
[ he could definitely be intimidating if he wanted to, but Iris knows that he's a goofball not-so-deep down. she's not afraid of him in the least - his enemies, on the other hand... ]
[Yeah, and then he starts talking about Cup Noodles and any hope of him being intimidating is gone. Granted, he could probably use that to scare any prospective suitors and it would be just as effective as standing there, arms crossed over his chest and saying nothing at all.]
I'll remember for next time, and let you know how that goes.
[ one of her biggest fears is that the Cup Noodle obsession is hereditary. maybe one day she'll wake up and start reciting promotional scripts that have been latently with her since birth... it makes her shudder. ]
You better. I want to hear his reaction.
[ she giggles, but it quiets slightly when Lightning addresses her. ]
[The mention of siblings brings further softness to Lightning's voice, and even trying to stifle the sadness that lingers there, her worry is still distinct. She can't help but wonder how Serah is doing... or if she even knows about what Lightning's been up to since she packed her bags and left for the Eos house. Even being apart, she has no doubt that it's Serah who's always looking out for her.
She can only hope that her sister will have the opportunity to meet him someday (she has no idea that they've already become acquainted), and maybe even Iris, too.
Lightning isn't going to be a Debbie Downer, though! At least, not within this mental link.]
He's lucky to have a sister who can take care of him. Etro knows he can't do it himself.

Hm. Does he think he's scary?
[Is that what he tells himself? Or tells his little sister? Really, Gladio.....?]

I bet he'd get a kick out of it if you asked.

Hey, Iris...

What's up?

The typical hardness in Lightning's voice is gone, and she sounds a bit... sheepish? Shy, almost.]
Thanks. For looking out for him, and... [Ah. She's so bad at this.] And allowing me to, too. I know how important it is, and... it, uh... means a lot.
no subject
[ she vaguely remembers Ignis mentioning that Lightning had a little sister, too. hopefully the sentiment resonates with her. ]
You make him happy. That's good enough for me.
