Adios

[prismphantom]

[When the Soleares returns it just half-lands, half-crashes.  The kind of damaged inflicted on it will do that.  But the damage to the AS is nothing compared to what its pilot just went through.]

Albhard you...

... Twice I thought I saw you die... so why...



[The strong face she had managed before finally gives way to unapologetic sobbing.]

[Calvin's own Genoace made its own landing not too long after. He was still shaky from the engagement but he wanted to help. That being said he felt his words flee from him as he got closer.]

I'm sorry...

[prismphantom]

He didn't have to- he... he shouldn't have pushed me away! He was giving up too easily!

[in_over_his_head]

I can't say I know for sure if he really was giving up too easily... but you saw the damage the Grungust took...

...

[Internally he debates his next words... this may make it worse... but it may help her as well.]

... If your positions were exchanged... would you have done the same? Or let him risk being caught up in what would happen next trying to save you?

[prismphantom]

I...

[She flinches a bit at Calvin's stupidity.]

I wouldn't have just settled for dying there! There's still people I need to avenge, people Albhard and I were going to avenge together!

[Calvin just grits his teeth and facepalms at his failure internally. No he was not good at this at all. But he couldn't exactly back out either.]

Nobody would have settled for it. And everybody would have some reason to want to get out alive. But think. You're an information specialist aren't you? Is he the sort of person to just give up that easily in any other moment? Correlate. Look at everything you know and think it through.

[Its all Calvin could do to hope he didn't just trip up again.]

[prismphantom]

[Calvin, you are really bad at this. His words just get him a glare, and then a tearful slap.]

I don't want to have to think about that! I want him to not have died!

[in_over_his_head]

Gh!

[Calvin simply takes the hit. He probably should just quit while he's ahead.]

...Alright.... I get it.

[With nothing more to be said he leaves, unable to do anything else aside from merely making things worse.]
