On going to Zodion....

[singingly]

 I'm sorry you missed your last-minute deadline. But isn't it better this way, where you'll have time to prepare.

...so as I might have some time to prepare myself as well.

From what I hear through the grapevine on this side of the fourth wall, in a few days it won't be the best place for a princess anyway. Better to wait that little spell out since Zodion a lot to get use to on a good day.

[ Well, better to not have to come at all, but since that doesn't look like an option... ]

[singingly]

I fear that's the part I will have to prepare myself for. I don't think that aspect will change no matter how long we wait.

[ That's the idea isn't it? Sadly yes... ]

[dynamic_exit]

True, that part will always be difficult to get used to.

But right now we're coming up on some, ah, political tension? All fabricated and nothing that'll last, but it seemed the sort of thing that might it a little close to home.

[singingly]

...I certainly hope it can be resolved.

[ True. That wouldn't have been very easy on her. And even just knowing that it's happening somewhere... well... her heart goes out to everyone involved. ]

[dynamic_exit]

I think it will be, for the most part. Certainly by the time you can make it in. So you're timing's not that bad, all things considered.

[ Even if its his first time talking to the princess herself, he remembers all too well how things were when Azidhistan had a coup of it's own. He imagines it's not a situation she'd want to return to any time soon, even if it isn't her country at stake. ]

['Time to prepare'...]

...Are you going on a faraway trip?

[singingly]

[ She smiles warmly. ]

Yes, I'll be going away for a while.

[brosuna]

[O-oh... that smile.]

Where are you going? Is it a place I can go too, with mother and father?

[Soran is interested in places that are outside of Krugis too!]

N-not this place...

Maybe someplace closer. I'm sure your parents would be happy to take you.

[...] [As much as he'd like to argue for her to stay in a safe place, he really didn't have a right to stop anyone...

Setsuna watches his dear princess in silence, still not accepting it, but quickly deciding. If she's absolutely coming, then he'll just have to protect her. That's all he could do.]

Marina...

[Just quietly standing near her, resisting the urge to reach out and hold her hand.]

[singingly]

Setsuna.

[She senses his distress, and yet, she smiles calmly. She's grateful for his concern. Touched, really. But she doesn't want to worry him.]

That's not the kind of face you should show someone who's already nervous.

[She's teasing really. The small giggle probably gives it away oops.]

[jesus_is_gundam]

How do you prepare for that?

[singingly]

I'm... not sure, to be honest.

[jesus_is_gundam]

Then maybe that isn't where you should be.

[singingly]

...I can't deny that you may be right about that.

But what can I do?

[jesus_is_gundam]

Be somewhere else.

[Its the simplest solution he can think of.]

[singingly]

[There's comfort in his simplicity.]

Somewhere else... Yes.

[jesus_is_gundam]

[He has Sumeragi and them to handle all the smart stuff.]

Is there anywhere you want to go?
