Dinner sounds lovely.

Did you have a restaurant in mind? It'd be best to know beforehand so that I can plan out how to dress up.

[A warm smile, with an equal fondness in her gaze towards the other blonde.]

I've lost this time...

You've improved so much, @undyingloyalty.bsky.social.

I'm honestly happy with how much stronger you've gotten!

Now, we did agree that the winner decides her prize. What would you like?

Still, if it's gotten late... Then would it be fine with you if we ate together back on the ship?"

"That is true, the Captain was also training herself daily before we met *wanting* to get out there. Babies are an entirely different scenario."

Katalina stopped, turning to Vira with worry in her eyes.

"Ah, I still feel bad. This is the first time we've spoken in a long while, so I feel we -

“I think it’s more of a different story now isn’t it?

They were all atleast well more experienced in the world with all of them being a bit old, compared to how recent and new both the captain and nier’s baby is.

She is still learning about the world which well…the ship is a bit dangerous.

𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️‍⚧️ @bladesoffrost.bsky.social · Jan 19

Yes, of course.

It's not as well suited for children as it would seem. Even though we have the likes of Io and Lyria around, and despite the fact that the Captain was 15 when she started out, they at least had us adults to help them and watch over them."

Katalina paused.

"Ah, apologies. I've -

(They…had a child…?

…that’s sweet.)

I see…I suppose I wouldn’t mind going to see them one day…Carina is a sweet name they choose for their little girl.

[she smiled softly as she would give a small nod.]

I see…I could understand why they would wish to keep their daughter safe this lifestyle

𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️‍⚧️ @bladesoffrost.bsky.social · Dec 29

Well...

I ask that you keep this to yourself, but... Nier has more staying in a pocket dimension for the safety of her and the Captain's child.

There was an incident where another Arcarum Primal Beast managed to both slip inside of the Grandcypher and take the Captain's daughter. Ever since then,-

Though if you'd like to see little Carina, I'm sure the Captain herself wouldn't mind.

You don’t need to apologize katalina I…understand you’ve been very busy no doubt.

I’m just glad both you and the captain are okay as well as her wife if I’m correct yes?

I’ve seen how close the two are I’m happy for the two of them…nier does seem very well…sheltered…?

𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️‍⚧️ @bladesoffrost.bsky.social · Dec 17

They've been pleasant since the Captain and Nier returned from their year-long break.

We've had some misadventures here and there, but it's nothing we haven't seen yet.

Though that brings me to my next topic, I'm so, very sorry for not having seen you during that time.

I truly did want to -

Not to mention, several issues arrived while we were heading back to Port Breeze.

It's why I want to spend as much time with as I can now that you're here with us.

A dark themed guild wars?

I would have been quite useful around that time though I suppose I wasn’t around.

Just some small thinking is all ahaha…

[she said with a chuckle as she cleared her throat trying to think how to converse with her.]

Sooo…how have things been around the crew..?

𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️‍⚧️ @bladesoffrost.bsky.social · Dec 15

[Katalina led the way, having been here before.

She stopped that the exit that led to Stardust Town]

I was just reminded that we found Beatrix passed out here last year. If I remember right, it was time for the Dark Guild Wars and she kept missing us at our different stops.

Just know that anything from you would make me happy.

Please allow me to pay. Ah, I know! I'll pay for the cafe, and you can repay me by deciding what we do after our cafe date.

If not why don’t we split the bill then katalina?

Oh no, please allow me to do the honors. After all, I'm the one who's been gone from home all this time.

That does sound good let us go and enjoy some coffee. I don’t mind paying for the two of us.

𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️‍⚧️ @bladesoffrost.bsky.social · Dec 14

[Unaware of Vira's muttering, she simply nods to her friend's question]

One of the Eternals actually opened up a cafe of his own very recently. Why don't we head over there while we're still docked over at Stardust Town?

(The captain got married huh…?)

Huh? Oh sure I wouldn’t mind spending time with you katalina! Perhaps we should go somewhere for sweets…? Or maybe a coffee shop?

𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️‍⚧️ @bladesoffrost.bsky.social · Dec 14

That's right, the Captain has been concerned for her wife, so she's been looking after her.

Now that the ordeal with the Eternals has been settled, they're in another world.

Ah, since everybody is resting today, why don't we spend the day together? It'll be good for -

Having a familiar face around again being able to see old friends.

I missed you as well katallina not having you visit in so long did get to me though I understand why you are a busy women I could only assume.

𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️‍⚧️ @bladesoffrost.bsky.social · Dec 14

I see.

In which case, I'm more than happy to have you with us. Having a familiar face around is never bad.

And admittedly, I've missed you, Vira. It's been so long since I've visited Albion and went to see you.

[A warm gaze looks into Vira's eyes, with a smile to match]

As for how I'm doing, -

𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️‍⚧️ @bladesoffrost.bsky.social · Dec 14

- I'm taking the day to cool off, as are the other Water-users in the crew.

There was recently an issue with The Eternals being attacked by fire monsters, so we went to help.

I began to substitute in for Nier due to concerns the Captain had for her. I hope it's nothing serious, honestly.
