Cate: You don’t need to apologise, OK?
“I don’t care enough right now to ask who or what that is, so yeah sure.” She has the Nerada perform a scan of everyone. -Cassia
*Nothing comes up*
Cate: All right then. Guess they’re just fast.

*He rolls his eyes and then looks at Hatamaya* Next time this groups decides to bring somebody else here, you’re on guard duty. *He grabs Ryouko’s hand* Now if you all don’t mind, if we’re done here Ryouko and I will be heading off. -Sly

I… I know she isn’t a baby, that she shouldn’t be coddled…. hell, she’s gotten a form of closure on it all… but people don’t just get up and walk away from that sort of thing as if nothing happened.

For now, I’d prefer to err on the side of caution.
