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
Vira🏳️⚧️
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,-
𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️⚧️
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…?
Vira🏳️⚧️
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 -
𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️⚧️
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..?
Vira🏳️⚧️
[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.
𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️⚧️
Really…?
I’m glad that…well ahem never mind let’s not think to much on it!
Indeed let us be off
[she said taking her arm with a smile.]
Vira🏳️⚧️
Heh.
Just know that anything from you would make me happy.
Now, shall we head off?
[Offering a kind smile to Vira, Katalina offered her arm]
𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️⚧️
Truly it is your kindness that has no bounds katalina…
(It makes my heart skip every time…)
I suppose if that will count then I shall do my best to try and repay the favor.
Vira🏳️⚧️
Vira...
Your kindness knows no bounds, and while I'm truly grateful...
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.
𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️⚧️
Oh katalina…I can’t let you pay for everything please just let me pay.
If not why don’t we split the bill then katalina?
Vira🏳️⚧️
Oh no, please allow me to do the honors. After all, I'm the one who's been gone from home all this time.
Consider it my way of expressing how happy I am to see you again. Well, one way of expressing it.
𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️⚧️
[she looks up almost snapped out of her own thoughts as she spoke.]
That does sound good let us go and enjoy some coffee. I don’t mind paying for the two of us.
Vira🏳️⚧️
[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?
𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️⚧️
Wife…
[she muttered it to herself as she thought for a bit…]
(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?
Vira🏳️⚧️
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.
[Katalina pauses to think]
Ah, since everybody is resting today, why don't we spend the day together? It'll be good for -
𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓪 🏳️⚧️
It is a nice feeling…
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.
[a smile on her face as she met those eyes she loved so much.]
Vira🏳️⚧️
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 🏳️⚧️
. . .
Huh oh? I only recently ended up coming with the captain on her adventures…truthfully.
I’m holding up quite okay how about you katalina? Is everything going well for you?
[she spoke with a straight face but her heart was actually racing she was very happy and excited to talk with her again]
