[No, that means tell her who is involved and she'll consider waiting. Of course, leaving and not telling him where she's going is still in the cards if she's perfectly honest.

It always is.

But when he stands up, she knows that it's time to step out. And she's been ready.]

Should we tell Kaname first? Or is she meeting us somewhere?

[vartex]

I'll send her a message en route. It's faster this way. Kaname has her own group right now, so she'll likely meet with us later.

[He's not going to follow her around all the time like a goddamn puppy, he's not that needy. She's allowed to have... other friends...]

[ikenai]

I always forget how very efficient you are, Messer. So much better prepared than the others.

[She likes the other Delta pilots, but he's always been in a class all by himself. It is strange that he isn't with their mutual friend, however.]

Is there another girl then? Is that it?

[vartex]

[Damn right he's prepared, he ain't 33% of the team for nothing.

Also Mikumo why are you like this.]

That would be you, at the moment.

[HE KNOWS WHAT YOU WERE ASKING AND THE ANSWER IS STOP THAT]

[ikenai]

[They've suffered so much with him gone. And he should know that by now.

As for why she's like this, ask Lady M. Her smile takes on a tiny hint of malice.]

I'm afraid you're not my type, Messer. Too serious. But I'm pretty sure there are girls that like that attitude of yours.

[vartex]

I'm not aware of any.

[Probably better that way- it's not like he has much to offer anyone, after all. Even Kaname hadn't been given much opportunity there, and there isn't a women alive or dead that he'd love more than her.]

[ikenai]

You don't have to be aware of them, Messer. They exist.

[She'd heard the girls of the Elipson crew talking about him. Nothing uncouth, but he'd probably have scoffed at it if he'd known. There had only been one person that ever mattered for the Delta 02 pilot.]

Let's go ahead and get started. I don't want to keep you from your fans.

[She flicks her hair over her shoulder and starts off in the direction of the mists. She has a mask in her hand but she's not putting it on until they're there.]

[vartex]

[Oh thank god. He's never been good with this sort of thing- he knows girls were around and he had some unexpected appeal in their eyes, but it always seemed pointless to indulge. The same goes for here, really.

He has no care for fashion or fussing, so his mask goes firmly over his face before he follows her. It's entirely possible that the effects could kick in before they see it coming, but Mikumo's less likely to be affected by it than him, he figures.]

[ikenai]

[His appeal to women is very much like her appeal to her own fans. The less they know about them, the more of a desire to know them is built. And the fact that both of them remain unattached (despite feelings for certain people), the more those that desire them can fantasize of becoming their significant other.

And, well, she's been told that people are watching them here, just like back home. So, why should her attitude about it change? It would be better for him to adjust a bit better and be less scowly. But, that was half his charm too, and she could see the appeal in it.

She notices that he places his mask on soon enough and that's probably for the best. She's not absolutely certain of what could be in the mist, but the less ways to trigger her companions condition, the better. She could cure him, no problem, but it was better if she didn't need to in case they had to fight as well.]

What do you think of Kaname's new friend? I've not met him yet.

[vartex]

[Why is she so mean to him.]

He's... fine. He's competent and he makes her happy.

[That's the important parts to him, anyway. Otherwise there's room for improvement.]

[ikenai]

[Don't think she isn't just as cruel to everyone else for her own amusement. She is. Mostly. But because he makes the most adorable line faces.]

Well, that he makes her happy is probably the reason that he's still around. [Kaname is...the only person who has seen her at her absolute lowest. She understands how the pilot feels about their mutual friend to a lesser degree.] I guess this means that I'll just have to get to know him now.

[And subject him to her brand of friendship as well.]

[vartex]

Kaname would likely appreciate that.

[So far that's the only reason he keeps trying, since apparently his and Prompto's personalities clash something awful. Maybe someday. Someday.]
