*Laura appears on the screen smiling, judging from the iron wall behind her and some muffled machinery sound she is probably in cabin of the ship*

Hola! I´m sorry that it took so long, there was pile of paperwork waiting for me at the base which I had to process before I could take some supply run and have chance to get to Kusari and send a message to you. We are now waiting in loading queue so I could leave the cocpit.

So! It´s nice to hear that, can you say it again? *bigger smile* Okay, just joking. I think of you too, but I also miss you again. Your visit was so short...but I know, I know, I should be grateful that we at least could see again.

So you are on the way back to Omicrons? Oh, what a pity...I secretly hoped that your duties in Kusari will last longer and maybe you will have time for another visit. But I hope as well that it will not take another three months until we meet again.

Regarding my visit, I didn´t speak with director about taking a holiday yet. But I will soon, I promise. But your familia...uhm...*her face changes to unsure and little startled*...well, I thought I will visit you and your casa, not...uhm...your whole familia. Don´t get me wrong por favor, but...isn´t too early for introducing me to them? Because...you know...from house point of view quite is. Sí, we are seeing for more than three months, but yet we met personally only three times and the last rendezvous was even very short. Maybe this is another cultural difference between people from houses and Corsairs...but from my point...ahh...I just don´t feel ready for this now. You know, in houses, introducing to parents is quite...binding. And the first impression and all these things...it makes me really nervous because of you, because of me...and so on. Maybe I should visit you for just few days at first and we should let this introducing to another time, sí?

So...eh...that´s all for now. Let me know that you arrived home safely, sí? And take care!

Kiss you!

*she waves and makes "sending kiss" gesture, then turns the camera off*
