Shine 8 | And Be of Good Cheer
[On some level, Sora was surprised she was as happy as she was after a sortie; she'd come to associate post-mission downtime with depression, given she'd only really failed before. So this was a new feeling, and she loved it. Loved it with a passion she never thought she'd feel for piloting or anything related to it. Sure, she hurt all over, and the Itsuki was heavily damaged, but she felt light as a feather. And so she was still in the hangar, looking up at Desu Itsuki's battered form, POTPOURRI floating beside her, and having a chat with her AI for the first time in a while.]
Sora, you keep abandoning me! You used to like talking to me-dechu!
That's not it, POTPOURRI. It's just been kinda hard for me, with everything that's been going on.
[The yellow-themed AI grumbles.] Still not spending time with me.
I know, I know. I'm sorry. [Sora can't help but grin as she reaches out to her partner.] Come on, let's start making up for it.
