Hmmm...I've read about weddings, like in fiction and in older texts, but the historical records weren't exactly specific about what to expect and the romance novels... [Well, they were focused on other things besides the conduct of the guests.] Oh well! I'm sure I'll figure it out.
Alisha, are you going to go?

There's also a possibility that weddings in our world are celebrated differently in others. Perhaps there's someone else who would be familiar with how they go about weddings?
[ She would feel pretty out of place if she went to a wedding she wasn't invited to... Besides, she has a feeling that it'd be pretty rude. ] Ah, I didn't receive an invitation, so I don't be attending myself.

You've never been to one either, right? [How to tell her that he wants to spend as much time as possible with her here because he won't see her ever again once they go back home...] I'm positive Luna wouldn't mind. She's just really happy to be getting married, and I know she'd really like to meet you. She's a princess too! She reminds me of you, actually.
I see. I'll take your word for it. [ A beat. ] I admit that I'd like to take the opportunity to go if she does decide to invite me. [ Plus, she'd like to meet friends of Sorey's friends... ] And, if she's like me as you say, then I am a little curious.
Alisha, I want to go down to the new planet and I want you to come with me. Meet me by the shuttles on the Huntress.
[Yep, even asking for a favor means she's pushy. Sorry, not sorry.]

[ Sigh. Why can't the humans just do like she asks? Fine. She'll explain herself. ]
Because I want to go down to the planet's surface but there's something about it that makes my skin itch. I could ask Sorey, but then he'd want to bring along the others and I don't want to deal with them.
Besides, you still owe me a dance.

Not entirely. Sorey has the gauntlet he and Rose use to armatize with me. It also doubles as a sort of vessel. We're going to borrow that. But with that, I should be able to talk to you while inside the vessel too.
So you can look like a crazy person just like Sorey.
Aren't you lucky?

Sorey's powers as a Shepherd have grown and your resonance is stronger as well. I'm not sure that we'd be able to armatize just yet, but if we're all stuck here for much longer, we can probably figure that out too.
Now, where are you because I'm at the shuttle bay on the Huntress and you're not here.

Armatize? I could...? It's difficult to believe that it would be possible, but... if it's as you say, then it also doesn't seem like it would be impossible.
[ Still... It would be amazing. And... there's so much more she could do if she could armatize... ]
My apologies. I'll be there soon.

[Edna doesn't respond on the machine. She waits until Alisha is there, but it's obvious that she's rather annoyed.]
Show me your Normincarena.
[Hi.]
Show me your Normincarena.
[Hi.]
[One doesn't greet Edna. One deals with her demands and goes from there.]
Am I the sort of person to make idle demands?
[Yes, yes she is.
She pulls out the gauntlet and holds it for Alisha to take.]
Any day now.

[Once the noise and bluster has died down and people start leaving, Sorey seeks out Alisha and pulls a chair up beside her. He doesn't doubt that some of what was discussed went over her head, and that's his fault; he should've talked to her about all of this when she first arrived, like he had with Edna, but he just-
He didn't want to burden her further. Not when she already does so much, and assumes so much responsibility.]
...you looked like you might have some questions, [he murmurs, knowing full well she absolutely has questions. About when he became a hellion, which had been mentioned, and undoubtedly also about Maotelus...and how Sorey knows him.]
