Sarah blinked. She hadn't expected him to agree that readily, not after what had happened. She had entered the room expecting anger and blame, but had found neither. She felt some of the guilt lift from her shoulders like a physical weight at his assent. Perhaps she could repair the damage yet. "You'll come then?" She grinned, genuinely this time.

"We can't leave right now. It'll probably be a couple of days before everything's ready anyway." The trip wasn't strictly speaking leisure.

No, she might have signed on with the Widerstand, but she wasn't about to let her old life go. Not yet. And there was Schatten to consider... But she didn't need to worry Alex about it. Her plans had already done him enough damage to last a lifetime. "Don't worry about the Oberst. He gave me the okay a while back, and I'm sure we can smuggle you aboard or something.

Meeting Alex had been awkward enough, and she'd known him for almost a month now. As far as she knew, Axel had only recently signed on, and she'd never met him in person. That was sure to me a fun conversation. Hi, I'm Sarah. Yes, that was me who nearly baked you alive. Nice to meet you too.
