[ If only Kallie knew how badly her preincarnation would be tearing her hair out by now...!
But she continues to hold her tongue awkwardly, pausing uncharacteristically again and again as she wrestles with her thoughts. Let's be real- even if common etiquette surely has little to no coverage for something quite like this situation, blurting out that someone you're talking to was, in a past life 1) apparently your sister, and 2) engaged to someone they've never met, just seems... incorrect.
After a few seconds, she settles on as diplomatic as phrasing as she can come up with on short notice. ]
I was mad at you two. Something about-- l'Cie.
[ She winces a little, but also kind of holds her breath as well- to see if there's any recognition of that particular term from the other woman... ]
[ Sierra repeats the unfamiliar phrase. Unfamiliar, but she doesn't stumble over the pronunciation. Like the taste of it is familiar, although she's never heard it before in her life.
This life.
The hollow feeling still isn't familiar, but after she steadies, her voice trailing off on that single word...
...She doesn't remember a single thing. At all. But then, why...?
Shivering a little, Sierra rubs her arms, looking down as she thinks about it. ]
- what on Earth?!
[ Give her a few seconds. Apparently now she has a tattoo until it disappears mysteriously someday. ]
Naturally, she's on edge immediately, zero to anxious in nothing flat. She hadn't been intending to-- but of course, even if it's still mostly buried back behind the initial alarm, she knows that she's likely caused an Echo here... ]
[ Sent before she thinks about it too much, because she is a little re-irritated by this point. Still not really a fan of the magic thing herself, given how... destructive her own abilities are so far. ]
[ Okay? Kallie's confused, not sure if she's stating that as set-up to something else, or if that's the reason Sierra suddenly reacted. Her thoughts loop awkwardly as she silently frets; there's a reason why she's typically not that keen on phone calls and their audio-only format, after all... ]
[ ... Well, Kallie's gotten a piercing out of an Echo before (and of course there's the matter of her stubbornly pink hair), but while a tattoo's definitely not quite as bad as turning into some weird creature or something, still...
She makes a disgusted sort of sound in the back of her throat, but other than that, she's still not really sure what to make of this. She doesn't remember anything like that from her "memories." ]
Another pulse...
[ -- Though wait, crap, she's totally the one who caused it. CRAP. And yet, preemptively- ]
[ Yeah, Sierra...can't really connect this tattoo to anything Kallie just said. Unfortunately. She has no idea what it means. l'Cie was the word that seemed to trigger it, but what would that have to do with a tattoo?
How was she going to explain this to anyone.
...
Why was talking to Kallie so dangerous? ]
It means I'm going to have to tell my parents I got a tattoo, I guess.
That silence from Kallie just now? This is... a woman who's pretty damn bad at hiding things. It's probably not such a good idea to get attached to your natural color staying that way, girlfriend. ]
She...doesn't want to ask. She's pretty sure if she asks right now, she's going to get told that actually her hair is naturally neon blue or something in the memories Kallie has had of her.
Sierra wants to live in ignorant bliss that she can be a brunette forever.
If she knew the actual color, she might finally cotton on to the whole "so I guess we were sisters in a past life" fact, or at least sort of realize there was more of a connection than randomness. ]
A-anyway...I guess if there's nothing else I should...go.
[ Before her hair goes neon blue or something that's super against her work's dress code. ]
[ God, how awkward, but Kallie does manage to keep her mouth shut in accordance with Sierra's silent wishes. She's not the type to blurt out things of that nature in any case.
What else is she supposed to say? 'Sorry,' again? Kallie's got enough tact to keep her from getting into fist fights with strangers at least, but here she's entirely stumped. There's a lot whirling through her head, but the majority of it she doesn't dare to voice. ]
