Warmth and affection come through quite clearly in Eleanor's usually calm tone.

"My dearest."

"I will be staying at the Crayter shipyard for a short period of time. Some people on Blue Swan's crew need a quick checkup after passing through the radioactive zone. It looks like they were a bit lax about safety precautions. I'll also find out if we can count on Crayter buying more iridium. In the next few days, at least."

"How are you feeling? Please monitor your condition. I know I can't hide you from the world, but... I don't think I need to tell you how important this will be in the coming months."

"Please take care of yourself."

Loretta's usual cocky tone was significantly softer this time. A faint giggle echoed first.

"Dear."

"I promise you that I will be fine. Currently I am on Barrier Gate, finishing some paperwork and checking up on things. You really don't need to worry. Nothing is going to happen to me. I will take it easy, you have my word. However, if we want to be successful, we have to continue working and keeping our goal right in front of us."

"Worry not, my dear. I won't be beaten down nor will I try to get myself into danger or trouble. I will wait here for you. We also need to talk about something very important."

"If anyone is threatening either you or me, I will simply shoot them."
