Dear Miss. Nodoka.

I must apologize for our latest encounter's derailed convo. Some people just don't know how to let go. As in, that Coalition soldier lurking around, of course. In any case, if there's any way I could assist you, I would be more than glad to do so. And besides, it is part of my nature to serve people in need, unless it is an hostile-aligned asset.

-Yours truly, Paladin Bartlett, The Core.
