[Okay, so, it's the first time, yes. That's great. Edna will let her have her moment of surprise. After all, it's easier to be easier on Alisha since she's generally better behaved than the others.]
Good. That'll make our trip a lot easier. Now, let's go before we're stuck down on that planet all day.
[Welcome to the world through Sorey and Rose's eyes. Don't you feel special now?]
Pretty much. I mean, I can come out if there's something interesting and I can sort of see things through your eyes. It's still harder than with Sorey or Rose already, but the fact that you can hear me right now is a sign in the right direction.
[Little princess has grown up. It's a good moment for her.]
Make sure that you head towards the animal stalls. I want to see if there's anything good on this planet.
[She has to have something to bully Eizen into buying her after all.]
No, not really. It's fine. And he gives me other things as well, but it's not like Desolation where I have an area to put the things he gives me away. There's only so much room on the ships, right?
[Alisha, you're crazy. The natives are definitely staring at you, but so what?]
[That, right there, is something that Edna never considered. Sure, Eizen was gone a lot, but before he became a dragon, he sent her letters and gifts all the time. Even afterwards, Zaveid would come by and make sure she was okay up there on Rayfalke, so she was never really abandoned.
But Alisha was an ignored symbol, only trotted out by the council to be used to justify their shitty politics. She was, in a way, superfluous.]
Maybe, but you have Sorey, Mikleo and the others now. And I guess me. But don't get too used to that.
[ Alisha smiles at that thought. Sure, she had her friends at home - fellow knights whom she had a good relationship with. But... it felt a little different like this. ]
That's true. Speaking of, what kind of gifts do you like to receive, Lady Edna?
[ Family that you get to choose is always better. That's why Edna and Eizen's bond was stronger than even the malevolence that turned him into a dragon. ]
Sweets, mostly. I mean, when I can't get Kate or Dezel to make them.

[ She reaches then, taking that gauntlet. ] Do I just... take this, then? [ Or, does she need to do anything else? ]

Put it in your bag. With your resonance, you should still be able to hear me.
[And before Alisha can protest, Edna does take up residence in the Divine Artefact she's just given the girl.]
Ready when you are.

I... I can hear you, Lady Edna!

... Understood. So, I just carry this vessel with me, then?

[ Was that really such a good idea... She sort of thought they might have something important to do while they were down here. ]
no subject
That's why I have a brother.
[Guilt is such a great motivator.]
I don't have room for more clothes anyway.
no subject
I have a feeling that Lord Eizen would be happy to give you a present.
[ Just a feeling. They do seem very close. ]
no subject
I don't ask him for things often, so I'm not worried. Besides, when I don't ask, I get dresses.
[Audible frown is a go.]

[ Alisha continues walking. She... probably looks a little crazy to anyone she's walking by. ]

Or Lailah back home.

but I'm sure that I should be able to find something that should be to your liking.

[And that is genuinely the nicest thing Edna can say about anyone's cooking.]
