1.

[When the DuskBird returns to Sakihama Base and is dispelled back into Mizuki's shadow, the woman's limping and wincing.  And also in strange, regal apparel.  Black silks with gold embroidery, necklaces, a sash... lots of fancy stuff she didn't go out in.  And Sara's standing there, looking shocked and running to her friend's side.]



Mizuki...!  My god, with what happened out there.  You and Ken and... and everyone!  Don't... scare me like that!  Please!



I'm fine, I'm fine... just got a little taste of what some of my predecessors had to deal with.  And believe me... I'm glad to see a Sara who ISN'T trying to kill me.

[So have a friendly hug... just a noisy one because, again, all that jewelry.]

So... I was thinking...

... How do people feel about the word "Savior"?  Like the "Savior Team"... or "SolSavior".

Just other stuff we need to worry about. Don't be concerned with it right now; just focus on getting settled in.

Right... I don't have...well.. anything. So should be easy and-

Ah! Right your umbrella! I.. wanted to give it back but...

[Back at the hangar, Interitus was engaging in a mock swordfight using the aformentioned umbrella - admittedly with a single vine. As to who would entertain the huge and playful creature nobody can say?]

I'm kinda having trouble getting Interitus to give it back. He really likes it.

"He"...?

Your machine's sentient?

[mistaken_for_monster]

...Kiiiinda...

I mean he can think and act a bit on his own... but he's just happy lying around until I think of things for him to do.

So like a big lazy dog. A dog that's a plant. Not the craziest thing in the world by any stretch.

But I was planning on letting you keep the umbrella anyways. You never know when you might get caught out in the rain, right?
