[So Lumine hadn't simply gone straight to the weapon shop, and had taken a moment to look at the nearby businesses, see if perhaps there were somewhere interesting to eat after they sparred, or something similarly enticing. Even with a bit of exploring done, though, she arrived a good hour before Cloud and had been taking her time inspecting the various weapons.

She'd definitely had some trouble with her mind straying to the upcoming sparring match. Part of her was curious just how he could wield a sword as impressive as the one in the image he shared...and she couldn't help but think that if it were so effortless for him t use then he would be strong enough for--nope.

She's just chased away that thought though when she hears her name spoken from nearby. She turns on her heel, the movement graceful and easy, and honestly can't help but give him a once-over. She'd been wondering just what he looked like, and it was pretty nice to see someone dressed so differently from the natives. The clothing here in Nippon was lovely, but it was still refreshing to not be the only one standing out.]

You had quite a trip ahead of you, so don't worry about the time. [She smiles, eyes practically sparkling excitedly.] I'm glad you're here and it's nice to meet you, Cloud.

[She tilts her head just a little, eyes flicking to the sword visible behind him.] That sword really is every bit as formidable looking in person as I expected.
