"Kimhone, will she truly be able to hear me this way? For certain? ... Aha! A familiar face."
[Suddenly a private but low security transmission is received by Unity Group. On the other side you can see the Ankaian champion, pleasantly surprised that this works. And he's not alone.]

"Salutations. How fare you? We heard news of Earth and they were tumultous. It looks like you managed to prevail however, and I am glad for it."

"Is Sielje any place near? It is my turn to ask for her favor. Something she is best suited for, and may it bring our realms closer together in this difficult time."

"Is this how people of Earth live? Peculiar... I expected a place more austere. It certainly is lively though!"

Not quite... It is not a city, but Unity Group's Fort Alhambra...
[Sielje is playing tour guide for a small group of Ankaian delegates - knights young and old, men and women, they came here to experience themselves how Earth's like. But Ynya made a (probably wise) decision not to shock them with the big cities yet, so far a UG base should suffice.]
"Ignorant upstarts, you know nothing!"
[It looks like most of the tourists have better things to do than to take in the views however.]
"To hunt down a manticore with polearms? Ridiculous! A good two-handed sword will do the deed the quickest."
"Stubborn fool fails to grasp. Without a halberd to keep the swarm at bay you will be overrun."
"Ha! Overrun by mere beasts such as these? Are you afraid of wyverns as well?"
[The knights are busy yelling over each other in a heated weapon-related argument.]

Ah... I implore you, can this not wait for a more opportune time?
"Silence! Knights of little renown such as yourself have no say in this matter. Have you slain even the tiniest cetus by yourself, I think not!"

"Do not mention it."
[The lady knight interrupts sharply.]
"I arrived here to be shown Earth, and I expect you to fulfill your duties as the guide, knight Sielje. What I expect not is for your voice to be drowned out by others because you have no confidence to raise it. Understood? Now continue."
Ah... yes.
This way then, if you please...

Jen doesn't want to interrupt, so she follows along quietly. It's a little bit unnerving, seeing Sielje get barked at for the same reasons Jen keeps being frustrated with her.]

[Sielje doesn't need to invite the knights before they are already venturing inside to take a closer look at Unity Group's units. For some reason, she decides to stay a little behind.]
Jen...
I need to thank you.

I mean, yes. I definitely agree! And I appreciate our relationship. It is that... we did not yet...
I mean, it is not that there is a need to haste!

[Jen pats Sielje on the shoulder.]
That sort of thing isn't really why I'm interested in you, anyways. Though it is a plus!

[Sielje's voice trails off, but she can't afford to be distracted here.]
Ahem.
I believe I need to accompany our guests before they get into trouble of any sort.

[Sielje raises her arm but is too surprised to say anything, until Jen's gone.]
I will.
Should I have problems... I certainly will.
[But for some reason, she feels glad. Glad and just a little more confident, and expecting there shouldn't be any more trouble for now.]
