The hell are you two blabbering about? I've been listenin' to this for a long damn time and I'm gettin' a little sick of the noise! Maybe it ain't my position to talk like this, but it's stupid that this exists when there's bigger fish to fry. And I ain't exactly been around much lately, either, so I guess I lose double the debate points for that. Been off the grid way too long, apparently. Call it a personal leave, cause it was personal business, and let's leave it at that. Anyways, fact o' the matter is Misaki is hella reliable when you need her most. Had the chance to be her wingwoman on a lotta flights together. I dunno what you saw, but my eyes say she may be a drunken sailor, but she's still sharp as an eagle. Yume's right, one incident ain't nothin' to fret over, especially when you're carrying out crappy, unimportant foreign ops like that which have zilch to do with us.

I'll agree on one point of yours, Aeru. Misaki can be pretty damn blunt and irritating at weird times, but that's just how she is, Hell, maybe I'm one to talk, hah! But maybe you should spend less time malding about what she says or does and think about why she does it, in her shoes, you feel me? Just hustlin' on people who - number one, ain't got beef with us - number two, are friends with us - looks pretty damn stupid to me, and probably to the Junkers too, if your idea went through. And so what if that friendship hasn't done much lately? Just what the heck is the point in burning that bridge over some lousy H-Fuel? I've seen some weird ideas in my time here, but wow. Capital W-O-W! Sheesh. Don't mistake her empathy and understanding of our relations for 'softness', whatever that means. You can be a hesitant, fox-loving softie and still be an ace killer. That ain't exactly a mutual exclusivity. Might be contradictory to care for an animal but take so many lives, but we're all still people despite the drink. I think your worries are crazy talk and that Misaki is nothin' to fret over. She's just fine the way she is.

...And nobody better touch that damned fox unless it's Misaki. Unless you're gonna pet it.
