You blink as your senses start making sense again- you rapidly bring your breathing back under control, though the technique you use to re-center yourself isn't one you can exactly remember learning. “Well, that's a good sign, at least.” The AI says. “You're not in danger of giving yourself a grand mal or a heart attack anymore. You know who you are?”

“Lieutenant Morgan Laroux-Bishop.” You respond by reflex.

“Good! Looks like I've managed to reassign everything where it belongs again.” The AI seems genuinely pleased with itself. “With the opening riot out of the way, you know my role in the aircraft, yes?”

[x] You bridge the crew's links, provide initial sensor interpretation, and form a third set of eyes in the aircraft.

“You bridge the crew's links, provide initial sensor interpretation, and form a third set of eyes in the aircraft.” You respond, vaguely aware Kyou is having a conversation with the AI at the same time too.

“That's most of it.” The AI admits. “As a matter of fact, I'm keeping you and Kyou separated for the moment to let you re-adjust. And our sensors are offline anyway. I'll also assist her with defensive and offensive electronic warfare.” It pauses for a minute. “And I'm sure you're both back together, at least mostly.”

“Mostly?” You ask, and get the rough equivalent of a shrug.

“All I'm going to say is you already spoke Japanese.” The AI responds. “but you may find her french has improved somewhat. Also she knows.”

You'd ask what she knows, but the AI elects that point to start actually bridging the two of you. While it's nowhere near as invasive- at least, not on a surface level- as the older VDNI system was, an MIU link works far more subtly and is more pervasive overall. You won't exactly be able to read each other's thoughts, like you've heard both Merlin and your dad talk about occasionally, but you know that it's also entirely possible you'll walk out knowing far more of the deep secrets of the other person- enough that it's a major sticking point in training. If you don't trust the other member of your team with everything- literally- you don't fly with them.

Of course, your instructors also pointed out that no one in the history of the program has ever not been catastrophically embarrassed coming out of the first link.

“Morgan?” Kyou asks- her voice kinda just popping into your head, instead of over the helmet speakers. “Ah, excellent. Is this not amazing? Truly, your feelings for your aunt are well founded! ”

If a bird could smirk, your ship's AI would be giving you one now. “Sorry.” It says, in a way that very much indicates it is not- and that this isn't something it can help. “If it's any consolation you should have a few of her deepest darkest secrets in your head now too. If you're wondering, both of you are stable and well within what I'm informed is optimal range, especially for this phase of the process.” It preens a bit. “And I didn't even have to work that hard. Maybe this won't be so bad.”

“Our aircraft needs a name.” Kyou says, and the crow in your head nods. “Shall we name it Hraesvlgr as you had suggested? If we do, I may demand concessions later.”

You know exactly what she means- if you get to pick the name, she wants to pick the paint.

[] Yes. And you can pick how it's painted.
[] Uh... noo, we can talk about it.

“Just respond.” The AI says. “And I'll translate it across to her”

“We can talk about it.” You respond.

“Oh, good!” She says. “I had hoped. We could agree on a name, I am not particularly fond of Hraesvlgr.”

“So what are you thinking?”

“Muninn” she says without a pause. “I believe it fits more, and remains within your Norse mythology.”

“Mind?” The AI quips, and it's head tilts as it thinks. “That's not too bad. Better than Amaterasu.”

“That is a perfectly valid and acceptable name.” Kyou responds.

[x] Muninn works, yeah.

“Muninn works.” You respond.

The AI nods. “Muninn. Alright.” It says. “Is there anything else you need or-” It pauses, then tilts it's head again. “Nevermind. Looks like they're going to get you out.”

“Morgan, Kyou.” Merlin says over the radio a minute later. “You're done in there. Disconnect and standby in the cockpit, crew will be up to get you out.”

“See you soon.” Muninn says, then blanks out- it's still there, of course, but it's no longer bother to project any sort of avatar for itself. “And nice meeting you.”

You disconnect a second later- Muninn will be staying online, of course- now that it's fully up, but since you're on a major post, it's ground power will be provided without use of the generators- they'll just hook it into the grid here. Leaning back in the ejection seat you wait- you can hear the crew escorting Kyou out, but you're more worried about how flat your chest is all of a sudden- something's definitely missing there.

It's only a few seconds before there's a pair of ground crew up to help you out- normally you'd have not needed the help, but in this case you're grateful for the hand- you feel incredibly clumsy, and nearly trip over the canopy rail as you step out. You would have, in fact, if not for the crew supporting you by the arm. They help you down the stairs too, where Merlin and the shrinks stand with Kyou- she's got someone supporting her too, you notice.

“Welcome back, Lieutenant.” One of the shrinks says. “How do you feel?”

[x] “Feel out of my skin, sir”

“I feel out of my skin, sir” You admit, still kind of confused as to where your chest got to- you did have some, and they were pretty nice, you're pretty sure.

He nods understandingly. “That's not uncommon.” He says. “How do you feel otherwise?”

“Not too bad.” You say, looking over at Kyou- who looks torn between wanting to blush and look away and thinking you should be doing the same. “I, uh. Know some things I might not have otherwise about my partner.”

“Not uncommon. Are you two comfortable returning to your quarters together, or do you feel you'd prefer to stay in observation?” He asks.

Kyou shakes her head, though she does so with a frown. “I believe I am fine, though I do feel rather too short.”

“Lieutenant?” The other one asks.

You shake your head. “I think I'm ok, sir.” You say, and he nods.

“Very well. You'll be monitored by the duty marines at your quarters.” He says, looking over at the other man, who nods.

“We know that there's a lot you both have to process. Our number is on the wall next to the phone in your quarters, along with our personal contact information. If you want to talk about anything, please, call.” He says. “We know that marines aren't always the best conversationalists, and sometimes it can get awkward.”

You nod, as does Kyou.

“That's all, then.” He says. “But really, if you want to talk, call us. We don't care if it's at oh dark thirty, give us a ring. We'll be happy to talk.”

“I don't have anything for them.” Merlin says. “Though I'll be by your quarters later to discuss the technical work going on and flight tomorrow, if you're signed off.”

Kyou nods at the same time you do.

“Ok, get back to quarters, and get some rest.” She says, dismissing you.

You're driven back to operations, though by the time you're out of the cart, the clumsiness and dizziness seem to have largely abated. Kyou, for her part, doesn't look much the worse for wear, though she, like you, looks a little pale and out of it.

The ride back to quarters is quiet- and once you're there, Kyou wastes little time in retreating to her room and throwing herself on the bed- though she leaves the door open, and appears to be tired enough that she's out as soon as her head's on the pillow.

You could do with a nap yourself, you know- you've got a headache building behind your eyes, and you feel faintly sick to your stomach. It'll mean cold leftovers- or ordering out- but at the same time, you're not sure you trust yourself to cook right now, either.

[] I could really use a nap, yeah.

I for one am of the mentality that there is very little a hot cup of tea can’t fix. Let’s drink and make sure we still know how to cook. Perhaps familiar territory for us will help us get over that whole “nice chest I know I had until recently” sensation. Which I think is hilarious. And somehow I feel the damn raven did it on purpose.

Oh, it most definitely did. the question is, did Kyou get the same kind of treatment?

>>3605748

>“All I'm going to say is you already spoke Japanese.” The AI responds. “but you may find her french has improved somewhat. Also she knows.”

From Post #3589856 in Thread 10:
>“Maman.” You greet her. “This isn't exactly the best time.” You say in French- reasonably sure Kyou doesn't speak the language. Given the look she gives you, either she doesn't- or she's willing to play along.

Well, I guess turnabout is fair play after all, but you all should be aware that Kyou probably understood most of our talk with maman.

>>3607532
Considering the filename in>>3605748 I think what Ghost meant is that she didn't speak French before the link but she is at least passable in it now.

Also I'm pretty sure that the "Also she knows." isn't referring to that but instead to our crush on Merlin which Ghost has heavily implied isn't nearly as platonic on our end as we insist that it is.

>>3606710
Hey Ghost, what did we learn about Kyou that we couldn't possibly have known otherwise? WHAT DO WE KNOW!?

>>3607551

That might be the case, but the 'her french has improved somewhat' implies to me that she had a decent grasp on the language, but wasn't fluent like Morgan is. Especially with the first part of that sentence being 'All I'm going to say is you already spoke Japanese," I think the implication is pretty cut and dry.

As for the 'Also she knows' part, yeah that really isn't up for interpretation imo.

>>3607582
See he describes Muninn as a "Snarky raven AI" so that combined with the way Muninn phrased that makes me think that she didn't spreak French at all outside of "Bonjour.", "Si vou plait" and"Omlette due fromage" .

You waffle on the point a little- part of you is sure you need to make sure you still know how to work in the kitchen- but at the same time, you know as well as anybody that if you are as out of it as you think you are, cooking might not be the best idea.

You head back to your bedroom, closing the door quietly and going to sleep as soon as you've stretched out- you've always been a fast sleeper, but you must have been flat exhausted to be out so quickly.

You're woken shortly later by the sounds of a knock at the door- one that, as you stand to answer, Kyou handles. You can't quite make out what's said, but there's more than one set of footsteps that ender, and as you sit up, the lights flip on and you're greeted with the faces of a doc and one of the duty marines, carrying a bag and one of those portable vital signs readers. “Sorry about this el-tee.” The doc says. “I'll let ya get back to sleep, but we gotta check your vitals real fast.”

You nod and he hooks up the little fingertip sensor and the blood pressure sleeve, watching the screen and nodding, noting the reading down on a pad. “Not bad. Sorry about waking you up, but it's procedure. Sometimes it takes a while for your body to really react to what happens. You feeling alright?”

You nod- the headache is mostly gone, it seems, and you don't feel sick at all.

“Good. You look pretty good, though your blood pressure and heart rate are still a little over your usual. If they stay up we'll have to address it, but it's normal for the first forty eight or so. We'll be back in about six hours.” He says. “If you need them, motrin is fine, I'll leave a bottle here on the counter. Take a couple, but if that doesn't knock back any headaches, call me, alright?”

You nod.

Well, I mean, every second update image Ghost has posted in this thread has been very fine shots of Kyou in swimwear/underwear with a clear line of sight on her lady bits, so... yeah, here's your call mate.

“Good. See you in a bit, Lieutenant.” He says. “We're gonna go check on your backseater, you can go back to sleep if you want.”

You nod, and the two of them step back out into the living room, where you can hear the doc talking to Kyou. As he does so, you flip your wrist over and check your watch- you've been asleep for a good four or five hours, and it's closing in on dinnertime.

You get up, and briefly contemplate getting dressed again- then decide that it's really not worth the effort and you're not indecent anyway, and step out into the living room as the doc and the marine leave. Kyou looks up at you- frowns very briefly, then nods. You sit down on the couch nearby and for a moment, there's just silence between you two. “That was-” She starts, then stops and shakes her head. “I understand, now, why they are so intent on warning us during training of the difficulty.” She says. “It is too late to go back now, but-” She pauses again. “I feel as if, perhaps, we should discuss what we know, now, to be true.”

[x] Let me go put some coffee on, we may be up a while.

“Let me go put some coffee on, we may be up a while.” You say, standing, and she nods once.

You put a pot on quickly, and stand in the kitchen as it brews, then pour two mugs and bring one out for her. She takes it with another nod, and looks up at you after taking a sip. “That's better.” She says with a sigh. “I-” She pauses again. “I am unsure where to begin.” She says, after a moment. “That was possibly one of the worst experiences I have ever faced, and I know the same is true of you.”

You nod- she's not wrong. “And yet, I also know now I can trust you implicitly.” She continues. “Though I don't know why I know that.” She frowns. “Is the same true for you?”

You nod- You do know, down even in the part of your head that questions everyone's motives- even your sisters- that ultimately, like them, you can trust Kyou. You don't know why- and you have your suspicions of why you know that, of course, but you know it all the same. At the same time, you know that she's right about you- that is, she can trust you completely.

She nods. “As I suspected. They mentioned that there would either be a feeling of instant and total trust and affection, or one of utter revulsion after the first link.” She sighs. “It is a relief to find we are in the first category.” She ventures a small smile. “Of course, with that said, I am still not sure if I agree with the witch instructors that if you do find yourself in the first category, it becomes incredibly difficult to keep your hands off your partner.”

You laugh- you've heard the same thing from the IPs in the program. Of course, you didn't discount it- you know witches, afterall- but at the same time, you know yourself.

"Of course, I am still an imperial princess." She says with a smile. "And there are some things even I cannot ignore. My behavior regarding that is one." The smile falls off her face a second later and a frown twitches across her face again, and she pauses, then shakes her head. "I am unsure how to continue. I know that the concerns I have are of little consequence and will fade rapidly, but I still must ask- what do you think of me?"

ok, votes called!

So if she’s a test tube witch, the link should provide the knowledge confirm that? Unless her parents keep her ignorant?

I’d imagine that would be her deepest fear to bleed out if she is aware that she’s genetically engineered and that the person she would be partnered with reject her for what she is

>>3609160
Clearly the proper solution is to put some natural babies inside the test tube baby

>>3609167
This man has the way of it.

>>3609167
Considering Stasya’s choice to be alone and all that worries about Kyou and Morgan’s offspring, I got a feeling the tech isn’t there to let the test tubes have normal children, if at all

>>3609195
Stasya isn't test tube, you're thinking Natalya. Also Konstantina has a child so that is patently false.

>>3609195
>>3609204
Clearly, we need a larger sample space.

IMPREGNATE MORE WITCHES!

>>3609204
Speaking of Konnie's child, I wonder if we'll be seeing her in the quest.

>>3609195
Natalya's worries were about Kyou losing control of her strength and hurting Morgan during sex, not what kind of children would be made during said sex.

>>3609223
to be fair, penile injuries suffered during sex are not unheard of in real life, so super witch getting wild... valid concern.

>>3609238
That's what shibari is for. Just need stronger or magically enhanced ropes.

>>3609238
I think it's less penile injury and more a broken pelvis from Kyou being overly enthusiastic, or a shattered spine if she happens to squeeze too hard.

>>3609251

Just ask Aunt Tabitha for her ropes/belt.

>>3609257
You say that as if a line of witch-friendly BDSM gear doesn't exist already. And that Ice didn't have a hand in their RnD.

[x] I know I can trust you, and that's more than enough for me.

You shrug. "I know I can trust you, and that's more than enough for me."

She smiles. "And I know now that you do not trust easily at all." She pauses again, then nods, and looks down at her mug of coffee. "I was afraid I would need this far more."

You nod- though you do take a sip of your coffee. "How was your nap?" You ask.

She smiles again. "Oh, it was excellent!" She says. "I apologize for my silence beforehand, but I was having trouble focusing. I- ah, " She pauses and blushes, looking away. "I felt I was missing an important part of my anatomy. And wasn't comfortable at all in my body. I feel much better now, however."

You nod, looking back over the back of the couch as there's a knock at the door. "That, I suspect, is your aunt." Kyou says.

"No doubt." You respond, standing to get the door.

"I'll set the cake out." Kyou says, also standing and heading into the kitchen.

Kyou was right- Merlin stands in the door, dressed in regular civilian clothes with an overnight bag in her hand. "Hi Morgan." She greets, returning your hug. "How do you feel?"

"Not bad, auntie." You say, noting that Kyou is very, very clearly checking out your Aunt's backside from her position in the kitchen. She stops when you look over at her, though.

"Morgan made cake, Merlin." Kyou calls from the dining room. "We were waiting for you before we tried it."

"Cake?" Merlin asks, looking at you. "Oh, yes, you did say something about that. Let me put my things down." She says as she turns to drop her bag in your room, which she clearly intends to use during her overnight stay.

Kyou shrugs at you when you look over at her- a 'don't blame me' kind of movement. You elect to not say anything, and instead pull out a gallon of milk and three glasses.

"What kind of cake?" Merlin asks, emerging from your room in her old MIT shirt- she must have changed, as she's also switched into shorts that are a little too short for her, but are reasonably acceptable for wear around the house.

"Chocolate." You say.

"Chocolate?" She asks, sitting down. "That cake looks familiar. Did you find a new recipe?"

[] Old recipe, auntie.
[] Kind of. Found a different recipe book.

>>3609454
>[x] Old recipe, auntie.

Gonna call it here for the night gents, but I think, since I've been so slow the last two nights, we'll do a saturday run as well to make up for it. I'm sorry guys, I legit feel bad about how slow it's going right now in terms of update pacing. I'll work on it. Anyway, till tomorrow gents!

Just how old is Merlin now, anyways? I remember her being too young for lewds in '89 Quest, but not the actual number.

>>3609471
She'd be.....early 40s? Mid teens in 89, plus 27 years.

>>3609473
She was 15 in '89 I believe, turned 16 during the quest. So that would put her at...42?

>>3609454
>[] Old recipe, auntie.

Could we go like five goddamn posts without somebody bringing up Merlin in a sexual manner in the actual posts? Please? If you're going to shove her down our throats in that manner then just get it over with and have Morgan boink her.

>>3609480
I'm wondering if he's just poking us with it to pay us back for all the 'Merlin iz not for lewdz' comments that people kept filling parts of '89 Quest with.

That Menage-a-trois joke will be coming true sooner than Morgan expected.

I mean, cats and dogs sometimes form packs when they're raised together so ya know...

You know, in the beginning the whole Merlin thing didn't bother me when it felt like a family joke that nobody was taking seriously.

But it really does feel forced, shoehorned in, whatever you care to call it when its in our face all the time.

I realize we're probably stuck with this subplot now, but I agree it needs to be dialed back at least.

A lot of players like her and the ooc discussion has had her brought up in such a way in pretty much every thread. It could easily be said that ignoring many players' comments on her in the story posts would also be railroading. I think it's a new and interesting relationship.

>>3609936
>I think it's a new and interesting relationship.
Would you like to go into detail on that? Mostly so that I can at least understand a personal viewpoint in favor of the MerMor ideal.

>>3609936
OOC comments don't equal votes.

>>3609942
Sure. In character (after a vote), Morgan has expressed that she was the reason why he became so interested in the Wyvern in the first place. He obviously finds her to be interesting. Perhaps he even looks up to her in a way. He also has consistently taken care of her; letting her sleep in, cooking for her, going over to see her over other options. Now, this could just be platonic closeness (and votes may end up reflecting this), but she is also obviously attractive. The age gap isn't that bad. Wasn't she 15 in the first quest? So she is probably right around 40. That isn't exactly out there for someone in their mid-20s, especially with magic anti-aging involved. She'd be considered a catch to just about anyone. A famous war hero who is also an attractive genius with similar interests to you? I see it like a childhood crush where reality hits and for once she is actually still very real and pursuable.
For her? Different personalities aside, he is likely as capable as Frank without the big brother complex and handful of dominant older witches vying for his affections. Any girl in her position probably imagined being with someone like Frank. What did she get instead? Her first relationship was with a seemingly nice guy that ended up getting caught with other women behind her back. Then she dives into her work and eventually picks out a safe option that she hardly spends any time around. I doubt her original dreams completely faded away. Then Morgan pops up again, very much an adult now. Seemingly wise beyond his years. In your program. Single(ish). Wat do?
>>3609954
And there has been no vote committing anything to her either. It's just talk. Talk that matches up with a lot of the discussion in the threads. It's cool if you don't approve. Just vote in the other direction when it comes to that.

>>3609987
>Just vote in the other direction when it comes to that.
pretty unanimously we have been whenever it comes up, like the convos with our sisters.

>>3610033
I've seen a lot of, "I don't want to talk about this." I can't recall seeing any, "I'm not interested in her." Unless I'm missing something major, we've been dancing around the issue for most of the quest... which I think makes a lot of sense for a very private person with trust issues. He obviously has at least some feelings for her. I'm assuming that it'll end up coming to a vote on whether or not he will act on those feelings. Just to be clear, I haven't totally made up my mind on which way I will vote either. I think both options are viable and in character.

>>3610126
>I've seen a lot of, "I don't want to talk about this." I can't recall seeing any, "I'm not interested in her."
Then you need to reread previous threads, because the votes where we say we don't want to talk are because we keep getting pestered about it after saying we're not interested.

>>3609454
>[x] Kind of. Found a different recipe book.
>>3609458
>I legit feel bad about how slow it's going
Please don't, we all have other stuff to do, like you. Quality over quantity.

>>3610127
Not that Anon but did a quick skim through the quest and I haven't found a vote regarding Morgan being interested or not interested in Merlin. I may have missed it since I'm stuck on a phone but I'm pretty confident I didn't.

>>3610281
To add to what I said here, I also don't think I saw any vote that said we didn't want to talk about Morgan's feelings towards Merlin. It's been said in the text of the updates themselves but not in votes nor has it been said because a vote has implied such. It's as >>3610126 said, Morgan is a private person so it's unlikely he'll openly discuss such matters.

>>3609634
Jesus Christ you whiny fuck. Let the story actually play out.

[] Old recipe, auntie.

You shake your head, cutting out three slices and setting them on plates, putting one in front of Kyou and Merlin, and setting the last at your place. "Old recipe, auntie." You say.

She looks at it again, her eyes getting a bit wistful and faraway. "It looks like the ones Santa used to make." She says, smiling sadly.

Kyou tilts her head, regarding first Merlin, then the cake. "It was something special?" She asks.

Merlin nods. "It was amazing." She says. "The best chocolate cake ever. But I guess the recipe was his secret, and when he died, that was it." She shrugs. "No more of it. I remember finishing the last piece from the last cake."

She frowns, looking at the piece of cake in front of her as you sit. "And I love chocolate cake, but it's always been something Morgan doesn't make much." She says.

You shrug. "Holdin myself to de standard set by Santa, oui." You respond.

Merlin shakes her head. "You shouldn't do that all the time." She says. "You always hold yourself to an impossible standard."

You grin. "Impossible? Non. Improbable maybe, oui. Try de cake, auntie."

She sighs again, but nods, cutting a small bite off and putting it in her mouth- you can see the surprise shoot across her features, and she finishes it before setting down her fork. "Morgan, how?" She asks.

[x] How close am I? I had his old recipe, but I'm not sure.

"How close am I?" You ask, as Kyou tries a bite of the cake. "I had his old recipe, but I'm not sure."

Merlin sighs, slicing off another bite of cake. "It's the exact same." She says. "I haven't had this cake in almost twenty years."

Kyou nods in agreement. "This is excellent cake." She says, smiling. She's taking small bites, savoring the dessert slowly. "I cannot imagine what it must have been like to have this originally."

Merlin smiles at the memory. "It was like this." She says. "at least a little. Frank and I used to get cake delivered at the end of a big project or a successful major milestone, and sometimes Ice or Slider would come visit with us."

"Ah, speaking of milestones." Kyou says. "Have we been cleared for flights tomorrow?"

Merlin shakes her head. "I don't know yet." She says. "Probably, the MHU attached to the program will often tell me if there's any concerns, but they won't sign off before they've had a chance to talk to you the morning before."

"But we will be flying?" Kyou presses.

Merlin nods. "Most likely. You'll be here till the Enterprise finishes refuel and complex overhaul and takes aboard her training rotation for her cruise. That's about two weeks from now, though you'll be rendezvousing with them off North Carolina or Florida."

"And we'll be there a week?" Kyou asks.

Merlin nods. "Once they sign off on your carrier qualification, You'll be back here for a couple of days, and then you'll be starting your deck tour." She says. "Till then you'll be doing basic test flights over fort Irwin and out over Nevada and Alaska."

"Alaska?" Kyou asks, and Merlin nods.

"The Alaskan test range is one of our major ones, because it's as large as it is. We prefer the NTTR and fort Irwin for the most part though because of how close they are, but you can expect to head up to Alaska at least once or twice."

Kyou nods. "I look forward to it."

Merlin yawns and stretches as she finishes her cake. "Morgan, that was-" She shakes her head again. "Thank you."

[x] So I guess I got it right?

"So I guess I got it right?" You ask, smiling a bit as you pick up the dirty dishes.

Merlin nods. "If Kyou wasn't right there, I'd kiss you." She says, then blushes. "I-I never thought I'd get to taste it again. Thank you Morgan."

You nod. "Are you retiring, then?" Kyou asks Merlin, and the older witch nods.

"It's been a long day for me, and I have just as much work tomorrow to do, too." She says. "With Sorensen and my team here, we're going to be pretty busy tomorrow with your flight."

Kyou nods. "If you wish, you are welcome to use my room. I can sleep on the couch this time." She says, looking at you with a look that very clearly says 'I do not intend to spend the night on the couch'.

Merlin looks a little torn- her things are already in your room, afterall. Eventually, though, she nods. "Thank you Kyou." She says, smiling. "do you need to get anything?"

Kyou shakes her head. "All the things I will require are already out of the room" She says, and Merlin nods.

You handle the dirty dishes as she heads into the bathroom to brush her teeth- and Kyou does end up pulling a few things out of her room- a well-worn kindle and a blanket, and she's changed into her evening clothes- that oversized shirt of hers.

The two of you sit quietly in the living room with the TV low as Merlin heads into Kyou's room and shuts the door, and neither of you speaks for a bit- leaving your aunt time to sleep. Eventually, though, you hear Kyou pull in a breath to talk.

"I wasn't sure, earlier, if I wished to bring this up, but I'm sure by now you have heard rumors of my origins?" She says. "And I know that I can trust you with them, should I reveal them to you?"

[x] I've heard a few things, oui, but I'm not too worried. But I am curious.

"I've heard a few things, oui," You start, watching her out of the corner of her eye for any kind of physical response- there isn't one, at least not one you can see. "But I'm not too worried. I am curious, though."

Kyou nods. "As I had suspected you may be." She says. "You are aware, of course, what I plan to tell you remains between us. It suits my grandfather- the emperor- for there to be a degree of uncertainty about me."

You nod- you understand, and are no stranger to the kind of politics she's describing. While they were far more limited in your case- extending no farther than inter-coven wrangling- they're almost the same.

"I am not the same as the Soviet weapons." She states, flatly. "My mother is, indeed, my mother, as is my father. I was not created wholecloth as they were." She pauses. "I was, however, modified after I had been conceived using some of the technology and techniques the Soviets had developed. It was on a much more limited scale, but it was successful."

You nod. "I see."

She smirks. "Internally, it puts me in a position much like yours. Most families desire me for both my latent magical strength and for my political connections. It must be driving them mad to know we are both now taken- and with each other."

That earns a laugh. She's not wrong- it's part of why you don't trust that easily. Maman made sure you were well equipped to handle life in the best way for you- and sometimes that meant knowing the super hot witch that was totally into you wasn't in it for anything other than your name. You still ran into trouble- the ex, forever after known as 'the ex' being an example- but you learned quickly to separate real friends like BB from people who just wanted to run close to Frank Bishop's son.

She smiles. "It does make me wish my mother would share more of her dealings about my sister with me. I can only imagine the discussions she must be having regarding her future. There are more than a few families with old noble ties that expect to be able to introduce their sons to the daughter of the heir to the throne. Is it the same with your family?"

[] Not as much as you'd think- none of my sisters are that well behaved.
[] Kind of, but nowhere near that overt or consistent.

And that's it for the night!

I don't mind their antics, really.

Ok guys, votes called! It's probably going to be a short-ish run tonight, just to get us to the stop point I'd hoped to get to this week. We weren't far off and it's all my own speed issues that caused it, so haha!

[x] Not as much as you'd think- none of my sisters are that well behaved.

You smile and shake your head. "Not as much as you'd think." You say. "None of my sisters are that well behaved." To be sure there were low-key feelers from highly placed witches and matrons about their sons or grandsons- even traditional covens, who tend to ignore anyone not a witch or highly placed politician or military officer will look to the possibility of 'political' marriages. Your sisters, especially Anastasia and Christina, have always been what would be considered 'desirable' in coven politics, especially with their claim to the Romanov tradition- but in general, the Bishop family name, and Frank's reputation- not to mention their own behavior- has kept it limited.

Kyou smiles, scooting a hair closer. "I do recall there was some low-key discussion about using the princess consort as a line of communication on behalf of some families in excellent standing. It was decided, after the unpleasantness regarding Samantha that it was better to not and it was dropped."

She shoots a glance back over her shoulder at the closed door to her room and sighs. "I am afraid, now, that the actions of the coven and Mitsubishi's board of directors cost us a great deal in regards to her."

You shrug. "You're not wrong." You admit- you're comfortable with some of the story, but a lot of it you class as being firmly 'not your business'.

She sighs again. "I suppose, then, that I am fortunate that she values you so highly." She says, then shakes her head. "But I suspect this topic will lead us to uncomfortable places."

There's a pause, and you both turn to the TV. "I am looking forward to flying, tomorrow" Kyou says, after a few minutes. "Are you as well?"

I actually think I prefer this slower 4 day run schedule.

[x] Sitting still has been hard, yeah.

You nod. "Sitting still has been hard these last few days, yeah."

Kyou smiles, nodding. "I am amazed Merlin's team was able to complete the modifications to our fighter so quickly." She says, then shakes her head. "Tales of American industrial workers drive aren't uncommon, of course- their repair work on the Kaga after Midway is still a thing of legend among the fleet. But I had done as I suspect many others have and discounted them as hyperbole. It is surreal to encounter them firsthand."

"Well, we did kind of get the prince treatment." You say with a smile. "Auntie M has always dropped anything if I asked her for something."

"I see." Kyou responds. "I understand the nature of your relationship is private, and will not press the matter." She says with a faint smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. "It would be unfair of me to do so, yes? " She laughs.

You watch TV for a short while longer- you're edging into the tail end of primetime and on into late night when Kyou yawns. "If you do not mind, I think it is getting time for sleep." She says, standing up and stretching. "As I offered use of my bed to Samantha, I feel I would be out of line demanding use of yours, however it will be rather difficult for me to sleep if you remain up and watching television."

You nod, standing up- you've gotten pretty tired too, despite your nap.

"Were it not for the need for some decorum and proper behavior," Kyou says, "I would suggest that perhaps I would join you instead of remaining here. However, a princess cannot behave in such a manner, so quickly." She says with a smirk. "And it is a challenge. The instructors made clear that the link makes controlling oneself difficult. I intent to prove to them it can be done." She pauses. "That is, with your assistance."

You laugh.
