Apocalypse

[Loyola]

Still hearing Her Highness whipping below her chair, Enma would gently pat her head. About the time, an undock request for the ship has been authorized just as Enma was hoping for. Understanding the girl's feelings to a certain degree, Enma still couldn't understand how to calm her down. Naturally, she's living through a big personal tragedy as her whole lifestyle went down in flames in a matter of weeks. And because of Claire whining and crying along the way, Enma couldn't really feel that she had accomplished something down here. Thinking of that, her patting is becoming not so gentle.

— Your Highness, please calm down, I know it's a hard period in your life, but you need to remain strong to live through it.

Enma got her hands down under controls, as she has to undock the ship and set course to an Outcast outpost Lentini. There, hopefully, the atmosphere will be more calm and productive. Just so Claire isn't bored during the flight, Enma lifts her down a pad with the record of her recent conversation with the GC.

— I think it makes sense to go down to Kusari, flying back to Taus maybe not the best idea, as Council agents can be expecting us there. With Kusari we will, hopefully, have fewer problems. Though, as you understand, they are not exactly fans of the Gallic Crown, so we will probably have to hide your identity. Or not. We will have to decide a lot of things in a short period of time You Highness, and those are better to be good decisions.

Loyola, being lazy even here, fully replying on autopilot, as they are closed to the desired destination. Enma mostly played some casual games at her pocket device as Claire would keep crying somewhere below. At this point, Loyola gave up and calming her down and decided that Her Highness just needs enough time to cry her eyes out.
