The others and I have returned. Thank you, all of you, who have come with me. I couldn't have done this journey alone.

Lord Prima, I have the device prepared. I'll bring it to you as soon as I can. What else do you require of me?

Wing, Drift. Both of you left very quickly. Is everything okay?

I have one other question for you all. We found someone out on our journey. I asked for Cliffjumper to take him back out to the Haven. Is he safe? He is another of your metal warriors, a tall, mostly red individual with a gray face and white wings with yellow glass on his chest. He looks like he must fly, much like Wing does. The glyph of Liege Maximo was on his arm.

I do not know him, but I hope he was returned successfully.

You came back!

[Sure, he'd asked Wing about it already, but this is different. And... it's strangely good to hear that voice.]

... You're all right? Did it work?

[He gives a quiet chuckle.] I did. I'm sorry if I worried you, Kagerou.

I'm not sure yet. I'm certain Lord Prima will tell me very soon.

I wasn't worried. You don't have to apologize.

All that, and you don't have an answer?

Then I'm glad to hear from you again.

I won't until I return this device to Lord Prima. I don't doubt he knows what he's doing.

I... So am I.

If you trust him... then I hope you're right.

Has your... whatever it was you needed to be fixed. Was it done?

Well. So am I, admittedly. We'll see.

Yes. The conversions were completed while you were gone... everything is in order, now.

[Physically anyway.]

Do you feel better?

I feel... I feel less afraid. Less worried about survival.

Does that count?

It's a step in the right direction. What is it that's bothering you?

Bothering me?

I'm all right.

I'm glad you have no need to worry about survival, but I was wondering if there was something else on your mind is all.

It...

Don't worry. You should focus on your own survival, before you worry about things on my mind.

All right. Another time, then. When we're both ready.

Another time...

[He pauses.]

And... thank you. For returning.

You're very welcome.

... When you find out more... we can speak. Is that fair?

Of course.

I'll let you know what happens.

Thank you.

[Awkward silence.]

I... was worried. While you were gone.

Sorry for worrying you. I was thinking of you, too. But we're both okay, at least.

Yes. There is that.
