1)
[Despite the situation escalating several times due to a number of curveballs, the hostages were rescued. While its hard to say that they were at one hundred percent due to rough treatment by some of the knights, they are in one piece. Not only that but returning right off the battlefield was Volya. He was a little shaky on his feet, no doubt to some rough treatment of his own as well as battle fatigue. You can definitely spot the cuts and bruises from both. He regards you with a half-there smile filled with anxiety.]
Hey... uh... Thanks...I... I heard de Sayard mention the hostages were safe... I'm glad... I...
[He chews his lip, unable to meet your gaze for any longer and lowering his sights to the floor.]
...I'm sorry for running off... for not saying anything... I just... I'm sorry...
[While there is things he has to apologize for, is this really the time to chew him out given how many times he could have died out there? Maybe? Possibly? In all honesty its up to what you have to say to him.]
2)
[Volya wasn't the only person who was dropped off by the massive creature that was in all likelihood Interitus' parent. David was also present and in the infirmary. Volya went to visit him. Surely when you arrive there the mending of bridges between the two would be a good ending to what happened between the two because of Zeig's machinations.]
I'm sorry. You want to what.
"I want to join the Unity Group. Once I get better I mean. I can fight... I can help!"
[Volya simply just bonks his head on the rail of the gurney with an exasperated groan as yes, David IS serious about asking this. Clearly while some people would have had just about enough with ADVENTURE, getting used in Zeig's plot as a living weapon, nearly dying and no doubt a number of other things has not deterred David in the slightest from what you walked into.]
3)
[Interitus is back in her spot and had for a lack of better terms got a make over. Like Hetepheres had mentioned on the battlefield, she had bloomed. Her new appearance was definitely different from her previous forms and took less room than the massive dragon-like form she had. Volya said a lot of things to her and honestly out of everyone Volya probably owed her an apology the most.]
'Teritus? What are you doing?
[Interestingly enough though she seemed to be looking at her own limbs as well as her surroundings before attempting to curl up before wrapping her wings over her body in a way Hetepheres may find somewhat familiar from a past conversation. This time though she shivered and was actually somehow... shrinking?]
Wha-
[The wings quivered once before they pulled into the back of a young girl now sitting where Interitus was. One that was getting to her feet, looking around with wide eyes before looking at her hands and smiling in a chipper manner as she walked over to Volya who was looking at her with incredulous shock.]
Teritus?
"....Vol...yah?"
'Teritus.... you- OW! OWOWOWOW!
"Volyaaaaah!"
[ Her cheery smile? It turned somewhat annoyed. She also proceeded to pinch his cheek. Hard. Tugging him in a few directions and forcing him to follow her hand.. Did she forgive him? Probably. Was she going to let him off the hook without getting back at him somehow? Probably not.]

Promise.

She gives you a head noogie worthy of an elder sibling. "Okay, now we're square!"

She regards with my a curious glance. "So what now? You're off the Knight's hit list–so any plans for the future? I always saw you growing up to be a botanist..."
From:

[Family... yeah he did feel that way. Even if the situation was pretty irregular, that was never in doubt.]
I think I'm gonna finish school first. After that? I dunno... I mean... I always wanted to have my own flower shop. Its always been my dream.
From:

She grins playfully. "Still, I'm surprised–aren't you gonna angle for a university degree?"
...Dido's sounding a little motherly, perish the thought.
From:

[Volya actually looked pretty embarrassed at that, looking away with a rather thorough blush blooming across his face.]
I still got years to figure that out. Besides, knowing Misaki she'd drag me, Taro and Jiro to those education fairs she keeps collecting pamphlets for.

She clasps her hands together. "...if you think about it, that Comparative Defensive Theology Club of yours saved your bacon!"
From:

[Volya looks tremendously anxious now.]
They really did save me didn't they...
From:

She pauses. "Like, right this instant."
What does Dido mean by that?
From:
no subject
[Unknown to Volya a certain trio were waiting around the corner. Dido's words being a signal for them to rush right around and charge their now returned friend.]
"Volya!"
"Volya-kun!"
"VVV!"
Wha- You guys are here-!? GWAH!
[Of course taking momentum into account they ended up crashing into Volya and possibly causing an accidental dogpile on Dido. Whoops.]
"Seriously! Never do that again! That really freaked us out you know!"
"So help me if you do... I'll do something! I swear I will!"
"VVVEEEEEEEEEE!"
I'm... really sorry you guys... but... could you move a little? Can't. Breath.

Dido pokes his head out of the pile, looking pissed. "Everyone...off now!" She wheezes, brandishing a small cylinder. "I have pepper spray, and I'm not afraid to use it!"
From:
no subject
Did you guys plan this?
"No-"
"Yes we did."
"It was mostly Misaki-chan and Dido-san who planned it."
From:

"Volya," she orders, "do your thing."
From:

[Volya takes a deep breath and-]
"Apology accepted! Don't do it again!"
"Jiro. Wait until he's said it first."
"That didn't count! Do over! Do over!"
[-couldn't help himself as he broke into a snickerfit.]
Guys -hahaha!- I'm trying to apologize to you! Don't make me laugh!

She shakes out a hanky from her overalls to wipe some tears away. "Volya..." She says softly to herself, "I think you're gonna have a happy life..."

"I know... but I mean... the knights trained me! I mean Sir Nathaniel and Lili..ca..."
[Aaaand things got awkward. Volya just keeps his head down.]
"...So... what should I do?"
From:

Afterwards, if you still want to fight... we'll see.
From:
no subject
"Alright! I can live with that! And I still will... I can't go home and do nothing!"
[This earned a loud and disgusted groan from Volya.]
I'm going to my room. I need a nap.
"Huh? But you just got here a few minutes ago... Volya? Wait-!"
[Aaand he's out of the infirmary.]
"... Did I say something wrong?"
From:
no subject
I don't entirely share his pessimism, though I do think it would be wise to temper your drive with remembering your past mistakes and look before you leap.
From:
no subject
"I..."
[David actually looked like he just got the why of the whole thing. With how he acted the whole time one would have been forgiven for expecting him to act similarly to Loni.]
"...Aaargh... I'm so dumb!"
[People would find themselves surprised as he dropped back onto the bed with a thump and covered his face.]
"I didn't mean I wanted to join because I wanted to be a hero! I just wanted to make up for everything! Gaaah..."
[And with that he turns on his side in shame.]
From:
no subject
But right now just rest, and try to be patient. When you're in better shape you can worry about making things up to us.

And also 3 because why not
Interitus can... shrink now?
From:
no subject
[Interitus simply keeps tugging while she looks over at Mizuki.]
"Mih...zuhki..?"
[Interitus tests the name slowly. How she spoke when she was in her other form was much more different than actually speaking with a mouth. Still, she nods as an answer. She can definitely understand people, that hasn't changed.]
From:
no subject
Though-
[She reaches over, putting a hand on Interitus's own.]
Maybe it would be better to ease up. At this rate you might do some lasting damage.
From:
no subject
Did you have to pinch that hard?
[He promptly got a far more familiar vocalization from Interitus, though it was definitely different in nature from what she previously used it for.]
"Thhhbttttthhhht!!"
[Yes. She blew a raspberry at him. If anything that was pretty much the world's biggest yes to that question.]
... I was asking for that wasn't I?
From:
no subject
From:
1/2
[Not to mention he never even apologized for when he lashed out at her a while ago.]
...I still owe you an apology don't I?
[Interitus folds her arms and nods, giving Volya an expectant and still somewhat grumpy look. With nothing else left to be said he takes a deep breath and prepares himself.]
I'm sorry.
[She simply raises an eyebrow, letting out an inquiring hum as if to say 'sorry for... what?']
You're actually going to make me say everything aren't you..?
[Interitus is now beaming brightly at him.]
From:
2/2
[Once more with feeling. Volya sighs before he gets started.]
I'm sorry for losing my temper at you, saying all those things, hitting you while I was upset, leaving you outside Alhambra without telling you why or where I was going.
[Interitus simply raises her hand and makes a motion as if to tell Volya he still has to say quite a few more things. He just hangs his head now.]
And you're my best friend and I shouldn't have done those things and I don't know what I'd do without you. And I promise that I'll actually talk the next time I'm about to do something dumb so you can tell me not to do it.
"Heeee~"
[Interitus, satisfied with the apology promptly hugs her partner as if to say 'All was forgiven'. Volya squirmed a little under the pressure, arms flailing a little.]
Too tight! Too tight!

It felt like a long time. We were just stuck... somewhere. There was just nothing until she got us out...

[Volya looked a little wistful now. He had faint memories of the feeling itself from his actual mother before her death...and the closest thing he had to it recently was from Ren.]
From:

I wonder will she become like this as well, one day.

[He flinched at first, he was still feeling a bit tender and was definitely not expecting it. But it wasn't that long before he simply just leaned into Hetepheres and clung to her. This feeling... it made him want to cry but at the same time he didn't want to let go either.]

"What's it-.... did... did that cat just talk?.... Are those little goggles on his head?"
Yes. Yes he did and yes they are.
"That's so COOL!"
From:
Re: 2
Anyway, you stubbornly tried to kill him for who knows how many times now, ignoring his plea for mercy and friendship all those times when he really needed it.
And now that's just it? You're suddenly friend again?
From:
no subject
"Well... k..inda? Yeah! Volya already forgave me."
I said I was going to forgive you. I'm kinda having second thoughts now.
[Well this got a reaction out of David, his eyes practically bugging out as he gave Volya a somewhat betrayed look.]
"What?! Why?"
We were friends and when you woke up a while ago and said you were sorry for everything... I was willing to forgive you because after all the good times I at least owed you a second chance. Things aren't going to go back to how they used to be but I figured maybe we could be friends if you tried to earn it again.
Then you did the whole 'I want to be a pilot despite all the things that Mr Talking Cat pilot said I did'... not exactly something that has me trust you much and makes me want to not try to put things back together.
"But... that-... I-"
