For the Sake of Cheap Sentimentalism

[So many revelations brought on inside of the Lady's Good Men's base of operations.  Ingram and that impostor Calico.  The Lady herself.  But on a more personal note...]

... He... was right.

On our own, the Savior machines have done decently enough, but whenever we've combined things have rarely gone well.  And it's getting worse and worse...

[Sara nearly disabling the machine with such ease.  SolEraser trashing the machine once, and her own self-destructive attempt to defeat it the second time.  And now SolSavior's strongest attack more a threat to its pilots than anyone else.  The cuts, bruises, bandages, and bloodstains on Mizuki's clothing do not paint an uplifting picture.]

Everyone... I've made a decision.  It's entirely mine and mine alone, but...  In light of what we did... what happened out there I mean...

I'm stepping down from being a member of the Savior team.  I won't be leaving the Unity Group or Solaris, but... but I've gone as far as I can, done as much as I can to make the idea work.  But I guess the Lady's Good Men weren't the only ones at odds with the laws of reality.

Also, just to test the water... do you think "DawnBird"... would make a good name?  For a replacement machine?  Solaris's already made two new mechs... one more should be doable.

... Why not?

If you don't have any ideas... I wouldn't mind fishing.

[jianai]

That's a good idea, isn't it! I actually have experience with fishing - well, not for fun though.

[empress_without_a_throne]

Good. Never done it myself since I couldn't eat it, but... I'd like to have the experience.

[And make up for the fish she'd taken to Willis recently too.]

[jianai]

It'll be a new experience for the two of us, then!

[Ren claps their hands in enthusiasm.]

I think finding a good place is the most important thing, yes?

[empress_without_a_throne]

It does, yes. So clean water, like a pier or a river. And we'd need fishing poles too.

[jianai]

Organized fishing is also a thing. Did you ever hear about it, Mizuki? It is done at privately owned bodies of water, which you rent for a bit and buy fish that are let into them, for you to fish up.

... Though there may be a problem regarding the two of us going to such a place.

[The problem meaning that between the horns and the long ears, it will look like a fantasy convention out there.]
