[not_a_prize]

[Well a great many things happened. NUNE was gone, the stragglers that had cut a deal with Phannuhel that didn't run off had surrendered, Phannuhel himself had lost his Regalis unit (But kept the horse somehow) and fled, Kliiment too ran off with his guards after the plan botched, Xun was dead from a case of being stabbed in the back. As for the Haremettes and Cennetig...]

So... you're all staying here?



"Well, we've got some things to make up for with the part we played in that mess. Besides... we can't exactly risk trying to return home just yet with those two lurking around. Not to mention all the craziness around this planet too. If you need an extra hand on the battlefield I can get into the the Arma Volnus to help out."



"...I... ah... I want to help too but... I don't want to fight... I don't think I can. I..."

[Monika anxiously flounders on her words.]

Don't worry about it. If you don't want to fight then you don't have to, there's a lot of ways you could help here than just knocking heads.

[The princess offers the fretting young woman an easygoing smile, which is returned with some relief.]

What about you Cennetig?



"I will not be staying with the Unity Group per se. But I will remain on the planet. It is a place a warrior of honor can truly test his mettle... and... it is an interesting place to be sure. I will remain here a little longer before I take my leave. But it was a privilege to fight alongside you and your tr-...  your comrades."

Cennetig, you can use the words here... I mean you did on the battlefield.

"That is different, in the heat of battle its easier to fall into one's instincts and the familiar quiaff-..."

[He pauses, then coughs lightly.]

"That being said I wish you well if I do not have a chance to say farewell to you later on."

I didn't think I'd say this, but it was an honor to have you around.

[With this Peola and Cennetig shake hands.]

[Despite the damage it took, Regalis Filia seems a lot better than it has been in a long while. Despite currently being deactivated for repairs, the faint echoes of ki still flow across its frame, leaving the 'tron lines' across its body and its scarf to shimmer with an ethereal glow. Peola was close by, looking at it with a small smile before glancing over to you and waving.]

I was wondering when you'd show up... its been a busy day hasn't it?

[Elsewhere on the base Monika and Salwah are trying to get their bearings and finding out how they could help the Unity Group. Admittedly while the latter was a little anxious, she seemed to adapt quite well to things not involving combat and unlike Peola, did not completely devastate a kitchen trying to make a meal. Salwah took a little more time, with Earth tech tending to startle and surprise... the less said about the toaster incident the better to say the least.]

[Cennetig simply tends to hang around on building rooftops, looking out at the surrounding area like a majestic falcon with the eyes of a cunning raven or request honorable spars in person or battles in the training simulator while he remains around for the next few days he remains with us. Eventually he leaves with little ceremony.]

[Which among the three do you interact with?]

[As for Ourania... when she was escorted out from the Regalis Atrox she seemed to be extremely out of it. She didn't take Phannuhel casting her aside very well and seemed to have withdrawn into herself. Admittedly she would have been confined to the brig at first, but Peola suggested vehemently against putting her sister within the same distance as their mother. Given some of the comments Serak had made, it would put Ourania in an even worse place. The blonde princess simply sits quietly in a room provided to her under 'house arrest' with a rotated watch kept on her by security - her sister taking double duty whenever she could in an attempt to try connect.]



"..."

[She says nothing when you drop in, simply giving you an unnerving look.]
