[Not the pet name he would have chosen, but.]

It seems your situation has changed.

[carriesparasol]

Ah, Commodore. Yes, things have been altered.

Oh, I apologize. Is Commodore correct again? [Yes, she is rather calm about all this.]

[chapter_behind]

It's Admiral, now, actually.

Are you unharmed?

[carriesparasol]

My! Congratulations, Admiral.

Oh yes. Uncomfortable, but unharmed.

[chapter_behind]

I see.

[He does not approve of her being kept in these conditions.]

[carriesparasol]

I don't intend to let them keep me here very long. I doubt they have any good intentions for the child I am carrying and it seems we have come to some arrangement now.

For the moment I am taking advantage of my captors by gaining access to their information.

[chapter_behind]

I suppose that is a reasonable use of your time.

[carriesparasol]

I have already found some rather helpful bits of information. Give the right opportunity, I will likely seek escape soon.

[chapter_behind]

Please let me know if you desire any assistance. I'm sure a worldhop would expedite things.

[carriesparasol]

I suppose it would. I shall keep that in mind when I decide to leave. I have my traveling companions to think of as well, though. I have no notion of where they might be now.

[chapter_behind]

Your own safety, and that of your child, must be your first priority.

[carriesparasol]

At the present moment, I agree. I could not simply abandon those few individuals who saw fit to believe in me and follow me all this way.

[chapter_behind]

No... Of course not. But please do let me know if you need any help.

[carriesparasol]

I certainly will. Thank you ever so much, Admiral.

[chapter_behind]

There's nothing to thank me for.

[carriesparasol]

Your willingness to help is enough.
