"I'm not averse to escaping if I gotta," Azuki would say a bit hesitantly, looking off into the distance. "...Hell, finding a planet as cool as Earth would probably be pretty hard though. So I guess it deserves a little extra elbow grease to keep it spinning around and not blown to pieces." Of course she had some loyalty to her home and everything about it. Besides from what she'd heard of other planets most of them hosted severely different cultures to the lax open-aired one Earth promoted and that would seriously suck. She didn't want to be in a warzone, become a farmer, or get embroiled in racist lizard politics. "Like I said before I think that, uh, selfless people are good and they help promote a good environment to live in. Just feels like a lot of pressure sometimes, y'know? Like people expect or DEMAND you do something with your OWN power because of their beliefs."

No. Azuki didn't owe anyone anything just because she decided to train. Whether or not only people who spent their time doing other stuff got 'justice' or whatever wasn't any of her concern. "Round one down." Azuki would set the suddenly clean plate down with a satisfied sigh, followed by a less than polite belch. Sukeru gave the hybrid a quizzical look to which she simply flashed a thumbs up. "What can I say!? Food has always been good from Mum! Can't argue with that point, I'd wager." Sukeru's eyes rolled as she returned to her own food, quiet up until Jackie decided to broach the elephant in the wastes. "Mhm. Enemies at one point too. Though a shell-shocked mercenary and a semi-pacifistic field medic didn't exactly have ample reasoning to try and off each other on sight so we got along swimmingly."

"Earth's been a lot better than Plant can ever be, lemme tell you that. The Tuffles have their own society and zone on the planet set up like Earth but the hanging gloom of war permeates it no matter how hard the brass there tries to blow it away. Hadn't really been calm since starting my tour up until Tsuna and I got to Earth." Sukeru didn't mind broaching the more clinical aspects of the war, and this tale was one Azuki had heard a few times before. Anything that delved into nitty-gritty or bloody details was explicitly expunged.

It was true. Jackie knew nothing better than Earth, honestly. As narrow-minded as that could be viewed, she saw it as her one home. Not everyone was going to hold that picture. Jackie was caught off guard. Not by her reasons for being skeptical, but by the sudden and abrupt end of Zuki's plate. Declared as proudly as she had just triumphed over a rival. Jackie blinked up a moment before turning back to her own dish. She thought she was going quick-burning through her veggies and meats. She'll never get used to the abnormal appetite some people had.

"Goodness."
The monk's focus was more dragged to the Heran, who spoke rather fondly and ironically of how she and Violet's other mother met. Love blooming on the battlefield must be true then. It was good to hear something positive come out of that, at least. But she also echoed the tragic reality of what could be to come. She didn't want that pressure on other people, but Jackie always has in the back of her head that something bad is bound to happen eventually. As neutral and kind as Earth politics tries to be, some people will just come over and try exploiting its people. Openly in war or secretly. But she's already spilled or beans over all that.

"That's a bit depressing to hear, but I'm glad the two of you seem to work well enough to disregard a literal war and ditch it. I wouldn't want to be living like that myself. How long have you two been a thing then?"
The sun monk liked keeping it light with some small talk rather than focus on possible tragedy the Heran wouldn't indulge on. Eventually resting her plate in her hands as she finished what she had to go through. Offering it back to the set while standing. Ready to snag a brownie already. She wasn't about to go through two plates worth of stew and veggies.

By the time Jackie had cleaned off her own sharing and decided to potentially go for a chocolate treat, she'd find that Azuki had somehow already gathered up an immodest pile of food again. And that she'd already chewed through half of it. "Oh you gonna go for a brownie already? Go ahead. I wasn't used to seeing people with small appetites until Sheri stayed over that one time. You shoulda seen the look on her face with the serving size we dished out. I think it became something of a personal challenge to finish it all, and then when Mom and I went to get seconds the LOOK on her face." She interrupted the story with an efficient rending bite into a smoked leg of some unknown meat, wolfing it down with much relish.

"This is the part where, as the adult, I'm obligated to say 'don't do what we did'." Sukeru said with a trace of humor, straightening up a bit. "We ran off at seventeen. Most of my corps was gone and Tsuna had nothing to leave behind besides Alpinia who was already in good hands. Heck, they're still in contact to this day, and Alps isn't upset by it. Anyway we can to Earth around that time. It was a real whirlwind type deal, honestly. We ended up with Violet about a year later when were both eighteen. Early? Yeah. Do I regret it? Not in the slightest. We've been together ever since and have a strong daughter to show for it."

Jackie snorted at the young hybrid and her chiding over the sun monk's acquittal of food. Yeah, she was already done! She wasn't some crazy waste disposal like half the strong people she knew. Earthling bodies just didn't work like that. She wasn't sure how many friends the hybrid had if she wasn't used to the fact. She will admit to one thing first though.

"You saiyans... Yes, they make a mighty meal. I don't really compare my bites, but that was a nice one for many a reason. Unlike you, I've not got a black hole for a stomach. Gotta just work with what my parents gave me. And that sometimes includes indigestion."
She cleared her throat, holding the brownie gingerly while she remained standing. One arm crossed under her chest while the other used it as leverage to prop and elbow up and idly wave the thing. Despite the brownies being a bit of a mix between solid and liquid, the confident monk seemed to have a good grasp on inertia and keeping it from really breaking up in her hand.

"Seventeen, then eighteen huh. That is quite the age to go running off."
Says her, who had to run away from a burning village in her tweens. It was at least nice that whatever connections they did have back there weren't so mad at them. Taking care of a daughter like Zuki at that age though? That sounded a bit suicidal from her side of this. She couldn't imagine wearing that burden just a few months ago. She was hardly prepared even now to be a mother. Just wasn't in her currently.

"Well, Early or not, ya'll seem happy and proud of Violet here. I don't blame ya. Takes a strong connection to make a decision like that at that age and to put up with that."
She teased, taking a big bite f her wiggly brownie while winking back up at Azuki, who was probably not 100% listening to their small talk. Or maybe she was. Jackie didn't know her that well.

"Less space for energy makes less energy to give in a fight, guess that's why I'M the stamina champ here." She'd wink with a slightly mischievous grin. Of course, Jackie would've solidly won that fight had it kept up due to her strange techniques and proficiency with Ki usage, but still. It wasn't hard to see that Azuki's own fortitude was leagues above that of most other people. "Though I'll say that not needing to scarf down a cubic ton of food to be considered 'slightly overeating' can be a blessing of its own sometimes. Imagine the grocery bill for our house, ha!" It was lucky that the side jobs Sukeru did along with a healthy stipend kept them afloat in nice living means. "Oooh many a reason a huh? Could just say 'me', I don't mind." Azuki flexed, cheeks taught as she tried (and soon failed) to hold in a bout of laughter. "But yeah I know I'm awesome. And bring epic food courtesy of an expert cook, so go head! Praise me. I would BASK in it."

"Well, the running off part was a lot less stressful than the worrying about Oozarus and Destron weaponry part I'll say." That much was true. The thought of eloping was a bit less drastic when the conditions you lived under were a literal warzone meatgrinder of death. "I don't remember much from being a kid, but I know they did a good job." Sukeru hid her reactionary smile with a small cough, continuing to pick at her plate in a slow but steady fashion. "Did the best we could. Figured that it'd be nice to bring some life into the world rather than to continue taking life out of it." Logically it was a foolish move to dedicate themselves to each other at that ripe age after only months of connection, but the spark had truly been there and never once flickered since their marriage. "Luckily she's a bit more manageable at home. Knows that we, especially Tsuna, won't put up with any sort of lip."

"HEY! It's just a case of having some respect. Not anything to do necessarily with like... whatever! And Jackie-! I thought we had something special!" Azuki would swoon dramatically, leaning back to place her once again emptied plates into a neat pile. She moved to grab a brownie of her own, savoring the treat in a much slower fashion than she did the main course. What DID Suki think of Jackie? Well she was strong. Dedicated. Relatively nice. Very... well built in more ways than one. Suki unconsciously hugged an arm to her own chest in response, blinking a bit. "So anyway. You usually enjoy punching some strangers and then having a picnic with 'em or what?"

"Stamina Champ? Alright, alright, slow your roll cupcake."
That wasn't even a thought that crossed her mind. She always figured some of them were just super inefficient with their energy. Something she still kind of wanted to prove in order to not feel diminished in their interactions. Yet, those cheeks of her own light up a bit at the constant twisting of her words. This little play and show Violet did around Jackie was a thing the monk usually afflicted in other people. She'd have to keep her composure and just roll her eyes.

"After that little throw down we just had? Maybe get a few more hits in on me next time and I'll talk about how 'strong' and 'tough' you are. The food's your mom's anyways, I should be throwing my praise that way~."
She would do no such thing as flex upon the lady, even to tease or show off. Seems Zuki was getting enough just watching her sweat and fight in her gi before to get any good ideas. Besides, in front of her mom was a bit awkward. Speaking of, after taking another munch of the brownie.

"That's... fair. It's a shame, there's probably plenty of people like you and Tsuna that don't want what's happening there. I dunno what a solution would be though other than restarting life somewhere else, but that's only a solution for the few."
Heck, that's kind of what Jackie did after her village went up. Much of her culture was now a mishmash of Central City high life and what bleeds over from her elders and parents. She was never really in a position to think about what others of 'her people' would have to do to change like that.

Suki didn't stop with the dramatics either, very obviously showing off for Jackie while the two of them rested their plates. It's getting another giggle out of the sun monk. Somehow, she went through an entire other plate before getting her brownie in the time it took for Jackie to talk a bit with momma. These people... The Earthling finishes off her brownie as she watches with perked brows. Dusting off her hands of any junk before resting them at her hips. Can't say she's met many women like her before.

"Strangers? Not usually. I find sparring with others who want to better themselves makes for fast friends. If I'm punchin' a stranger for too long, it's usually because they are trying to blow somethin' up. This though? - Delicious, by the way, that brownie. - Is just a great side effect. I usually don't let myself get beat up so bad either, so congrats."
Which did actually lead to a bit of what these two did. She didn't let the answer hang long before she turned it on its head.

"What about the two of you, hmm? Can't imagine you just laze about at home when you aren't trainin'. Do something else important?"

Sukeru's brow had continually raised by fractional pieces a time throughout the entire exchange, though there was a distant smile tugging at the woman's lips the entire time. Azuki either didn't notice the subtext or was brash enough to proceed anyway: "What!? You wanna test me in another one-on-one? I'm up for another go if you are!" She stand with a mighty harrumph, minor bruises and cuts already gone as she shot a wide grin towards Jackie. "Gimmie some actual practice time to get to your 'level' sis and I'll put on a REAL show. Whatever flicky fiery thing you did won't stand a chance." Though there was one point she couldn't contest. "Hey! You could always split it up, psh." Sukeru placed her first finished plate down, idly sifting through some of the options with deep patience. "I'll be sure to forward your glowing review." She said dryly, finally setting up some slices of juiced meats.

If the Heran was at all annoyed or disapproving of Azuki's antics, she certainly didn't show it. "Well the easy to say solution is just to end the war. The hard part would be going apart how. And picking up the pieces after. You can't just waltz in with big might, end a generations-long war, and expect everyone to forgive and forget within a few years. Then again I don't really have stakes on Plant myself. Tsuna hardly misses the Vegetean sector either so we aren't losing out on much I'd wager." The only thing for them to worry about was Alpinia's safety. Well, that and by extension, her husband too. Though from what they'd heard Taori was rather strong himself.

"If that's what you'd consider bad, I hardly wanna see what it looks like to have not done much, to begin with." Azuki would grumble half-heartedly. "I suppose a promise to make now is that I'll be able to give you a GOOD fight one day. At your max and not holding back all that much. Don't know if we'll still be in contact when that day comes, but count on me trying my damn hardest to keep this promise." Though Jackie had a question of her own. "I tinker and repair some stuff part-time. Work from home mostly and that leaves plenty of time to spend with Tsuna." And as for Azuki: "I got a zero-hour contract with some delivery company to move VIP stuff around for high rates. Whenever I need pocket cash I usually just fly a few things around the planet. Other than that I either punch people or chill at home."

Jackie just rolled her eyes. It wasn't that she was tired, after a bit of a rest and meal. it was that she already had her fill of Azuki after their small bout. And she also doesn't heal like her, now that she gets a good look up close. Curious, but the young flame held an arm out to stop her by the sternum. Grinning up at her. She knew damn well right now she could put her down on the floor if she wanted. She wasn't so battle-hungry though.

"Are you now? Up against me, knowing my true colors? You really should pace yourself. Wouldn't want you getting hurt a second time."
But, she relented. Eyes peeling away from her a moment to ponder. Scratching her chin.

"You better keep that promise. I'm sure you'll get plenty of opportunities to try me again then. If you get on my level. What, you think I ain't just gonna keep working at it too? Looks like to me you got plenty of catch-up to do to get near me."
Maybe that was the kind of motivator the girl needed. She hadn't gotten to witness the big lass body slam her into the ground yet, either. The Earthling doubted she could try for a while to get that proper challenge for a while without the rivalry. That didn't mean if she came around to training and sparring that she couldn't mimic what she did here. The sun monk eventually stepped off the girl, rubbing her neck at the heran that watched the two. Yeah, she caught what she said. It was a bit ironic, actually. And just like before she'd rather stick to healthy subjects. understanding what they meant with it 'sounding easier on paper' to just end the war. Skipping straight to their jobs.

"No kiddin'? I have a background in mechanical engineering. Worked on anything from ships to weapons. Though, a lot of the time I got stuck with terrestrial vehicles."
Honestly, Azuki's job sounded like a dream for anyone who just had the ability to fly at high speeds. She wonders if anyone else she's met does it.

"Though, I dropped focusing on that when I went back to my roots. Refinin' my technique and the like."

"Wouldn't be too bad if a softie like you did it. I can take punishment all day!" Sure if Jackie went to her absolute maximum it'd be more than enough to genuinely throttle her, but that's not what was important here! "Oh yeah? I wouldn't go around sayin' IF if I were you. The folks at the top always seem to hit glass ceilings for a while before they get some solid footing again. If you aren't careful I'll ROCKET right up to you." There was only so much room to grow when you were leading the pack after all. Having stronger opponents to learn and get wrecked by accelerated growth to an insane degree, so Jackie already being at that level meant Azuki had a solid chance to actually claw her way up.

"It's what I was good at aside from fighting. Folks will always need a good set of hands to repair whatever they broke so it's steady work. Time-consuming though, so I'm not surprised that you left it a bit behind to pursue this whole warrior thing." The work required concentration, precision, and an attention span that wouldn't dwindle after a few hours of the same monotonous work. It definitely wasn't for everyone and that showed in both Jackie and Sukeru having a great amount of patience themselves. It also happened to be a great way to take drifting minds off of more sour topics when their partners weren't available or around. "Azuki had hauled some sphere robot here the other day after it had started a miniature rampage through East City. Was a challenging thing to pick apart but we got there in the end." With the help of Sheri of course.

"Yeah. I think they determined it was a piloted drone or something? Had a giant laser beam eye and these metal tentacles with claws on the end. The thing was trying to steal an entire bank vault before I stopped it! Sheri and I are still looking for the original culprits but it's been pretty slow burn on that end I'd say." Azuki wasn't necessarily worried about potential retaliation from the mysterious group. If their robots could be defeated by HER then Tsuna and Sukeru had nothing to truly worry about, they'd be more than capable of self-defense.

Alright, soft? Jackie has been called a lot of things. Hot, tough, strong, a lot of other really bad ones that should not be named. But soft? that's honestly a new one. Most people knew the monk as a hard-ass, smart-ass, hot-headed brawler once they really got down to her core. Was this some sort of insult? Infantilization? Or was the redhead coming onto her? Jackie couldn't help but snort and shake it off as nothing more than the brute getting into her head.

She had her doubts a true ceiling existed. She still knew a lot of people who would mop the floor with her in a one-on-one. And she wasn't about to chalk that up to Earthling weakness. That just wasn't a thing to her. The smaller flame stepped back up and poked at the girl's stomach.

"Between us? I am on top! But lucky for me, I ain't on the tippy top! I've got a lotta room to improve. Keep that attitude up while you're in the dirt though, it will help you!"
She had the self-confidence to bolster herself at this point, not caring if the woman was an entire head over her in height as she looked up. She had to defend what little pride she had in her skill against her. A little off-topic was some drones they packed in after they rampaged up in East City. A little unnerving, but if they were able to deal with it... As they seem to posit themselves, it was probably not the biggest deal. Autonomous weapons were the least scary thing when people like Faustus existed.

"That is a bit weird. Can't say I've ever seen bots specifically like that runnin' around."
Jackie had to call back on memories of working with the more military grades contracts. Even then she ran up on blanks. It wasn't something she was so sure of as to make any hints that she 'could' have seen such a thing if it were manufactured somewhere.

"Don't forget what the dirt tastes like or you'll end up faceplanted in it again sooner or later!" To Azuki this was little more than aggressively friendly banter. Any other implications weren't exactly at the forefront of the hybrid's mind as they continued to exchange words. Not that Azuki was stupid but rather was very oblivious when it came to what could be considered 'showing interest' in someone else. "In case you need a reminder, it's NUTRITIOUS and EARTHY!" Barking out a short laugh, Suki seemed unphased by Jackie's slight poke, grin as wide as ever. It WAS a bit amusing that the woman who was thrice her strength was a fair bit shorter, Azuki having to crane her head slightly to meet Jackie's gaze.

Then came the topic of the robots. "I think the POINT of bringing that up was to ask you something." The redhead would nudge the Heran lightly. "As in, have you seen anything else like that around? Cuz' there's still a lingering issue that whoever controls the things MAY try to kill me. Or blow up East City just for good measure. And as you can imagine that'd kind of suck, so I'd rather neither of those happens." Though that hope was quelled as the monk instantly admitted to not seeing nor hearing of them before. "Well, Damn." Not much they could do there. "If you could just keep a watch around, I'm worried they might strike at other cities." Sukeru spoke calmly, beginning to pack up the remnants of their meal.

Azuki moved to assist her mother, continuing to speak even as she capsuled the supplies into two distinctly marked types depending on if they were dirty/empty or still had stuff left inside. "So to turn an earlier question back at ya, what do YOU do in your spare time? Giving up mechanics to do full-time training?" It'd make sense for how powerful she was, but even Azuki couldn't withstand the boredom of practicing against anything (and by anything she meant nothing) ALL day. "You're pretty friendly so obvious you aren't squirreled away on some holy rock in the mountains preaching wisdom."

The thought of like, a drone piloted uprising here on Earth was a bit worrying. Especially since a lot of the times it was hard to detect the powers of something like an android. The monk wanted to help a bit with clean up once the heran started moving for it, but Violet already stepping up to the plate would make it seem like she was stepping on toes. There wasn't nearly enough for her to step around and pick up anything herself. So she stood by, giving another short nod to thank them both for the food and acknowledge them.

"I'll keep an eye out. I wouldn't really like them blowing up a city either."
That should really go without saying, but she wanted to make sure that got across to both of them. But, more specifically, she is the perfect person to be warning about possible droid shenanigans. Coming up on the other question, the girl traveled so much nowadays testing people that she spent a lot of her free time doing just this; Meeting new people and just getting well acquainted with them.

"Honestly? This. I do proper training a lot, but I travel the world so much that I get to meet so many interesting people. Stopping just to chill when I get worn out from the day. Used to play a lot of vidya games to blow off steam, but I do so much physical exercise that I get most of that out of my system first thing."
She half-admitted to some of her hobbies. Her training could get a little esoteric, so sometimes she would take the break long enough to play something, or relax in her apartment or Korin's Tower.

"Yeah, uuuh, city life does a thing to a sun monk. I'm sure it sounds weird coming out of me of all people."

"Well I'd hope not! Affei, Sheri and I have all been looking into resolving the entire issue but we haven't had much luck. It seems we're about as bad at finding them as they are at finding us. Though it IS weird that the same dudes who have these high-tech deathballs rolling around still don't know who or where I am." Seriously you'd think that with all the funding and high-grade metals and whatever the fuck else went into making a massive android they'd have sprung for some scanners or facial recognition software. "But uh, we don't gotta discuss it much more than that right now. I think we have it under control on the East End where we live so just make sure the other major cities are safe, I guess."

So Jackie traveled a lot as her hobby in addition to acting as a part of her job? "You sure got an interesting take on it. I don't think that I could be entertained by just talking to random people, honestly." Jackie was different! She could fight and had actual interesting things to say. Azuki couldn't help that talking about mundane topics with regular people tended to BORE her immensely. "It's a bit hard for me to really feel a satisfying burn. Like I can work hard and it'll be there for a short while but before ya know it, bam back to full energy like it never happened. It's good for combat but damn is it a curse sometimes when trying to just LIVE."

Sukeru gave the hybrid a passing glance as she stood up, stowing away the now full capsules into her jacket pockets once more. "I appreciate the conversation and I'm sure Violet appreciates the extra training, Jackie. Thank you." Their time here seemed to be coming to a close soon. No more fighting, not many talking points, and they had just eaten a rather large meal that could (and probably would) cause some lethargy later... at least on the two 'normal' peoples' end.

Well, it was another thing to keep an eye out on her list of so many things to keep an eye out for. Between all the super thugs, dangerous aliens, and now apparently malicious droids, Jackie wasn't going to be resting any time soon. Nor was Violet. It almost seemed like the girl actually never rested with how she spoke on it. It took nearly putting the big lass into the ground to make her feel something it seemed. Even then she was trying to pick herself up and prove herself to the sun-kissed monk.

"Is it really an interestin' take? I figured only introverts wouldn't care for meeting the strangest and weirdest people Earth has to offer. What do ya think I'm doin' here?"
Jackie laughed a bit, eventually eyeing Sukeru when she seemed ready to head off. Not that she really blamed the mother to start trying to wrap this up. They had a talk, a fight, more a talk, a food, and then some more talk. Honestly, most people would have been fine with just two of those. Somehow, the flaming monk and giant hybrid were just full enough of energy that they both egged each other on. Despite one still showing clear wear on her body. Jackie almost forgot the other woman somehow healed herself... She'd ask later.

"Of course. No reason to keep me, eh? Thanks again for the meal, ma'am."
She offered one more bow to the teal skinned momma, quickly raising to eye Zuki one more time while trying to pat her on the side of her arm.

"And you, stay safe with those robots yeah? I'm sure you can handle most things you throw at you with that thick skull of yours but still. I'll be in touch soon. I gotta make sure others are squared up, so you might even have a few partners with ya when I call people around. Want me to pick ya up or is callin' your mom here gonna suffice?"
She'd prefer not having to fly all over the place JUST for one student, but eh. She would do it if she had to. The monk had since honed her ability to sense to such a refined degree.

"Yeah I'd say so. You don't need to be an introvert to wanna shimmy away from a bunch of the weird stuff this planet has to offer, honestly." Though it was rhetorical question, Azuki couldn't help but take the opportunity to poke some more fun at Jackie: "As for what you're doing, going around? Maybe you're also one of the weirdos that people like to avoid sometimes." She'd wink playfully, obviously meaning no serious insult or harm with it. "Don't worry though! I like you as is. Even through your inexplicable barrier of sheer weird. I know, I know, I'm so generous. Generous enough to present the actual question at hand: are we gonna be OFFICIAL friends from here on out or not!? Choose wisely because it's a rare offer!"

Despite only having been maybe the span of an afternoon, Azuki's interaction with Jackie felt like it helped solidify a bond and ally far above and beyond anything she had expected. The initial challenge to spar had just been because of the woman's strength, but now after seeing her conviction, her personality, and her technique ALONGSIDE such power? Azuki still wasn't necessarily sold on the idea of becoming the same sort of guardian Jackie was, but at the least was open to the idea of training more with her and learning about it if nothing else. As before her reluctance to use her powers for good came from a self-centered place at heart, but was that TRULY selfish? Nobody should be expected to use their strength for one side or another just because they have it.

"It was our pleasure, I'm sure. We definitely had more than enough to host an extra guest or two." A light smile crossed Sukeru's lips as she stood aside, allowing the two younger girls to wrap up their conversation whilst standing with a patient but firm stance. The Heran was willing to be polite but she was also notorious for running a strict schedule, something Suki knew well and would immediately pick up as she started to speed up her speech.

It was quite clear that Azuki's feelings were complicated and untangling them would take more than a single night's rest to accomplish. "So I'm not sure when we'll meet again, but I'm looking forward to either improving or SHOWING you my improvement!" It surely wouldn't be long before Suki made some tangible progress right? Her work and determination had gone into fighting people several times her strength and that passionate fire to fight against this roadblock had only been rekindled after this most recent fight. "I still am gonna go around and do stuff with Affei and whatnot but if you want... I guess I wouldn't more devoting a little more time to training if you think it'd help. Those robot jerks won't even know what hit 'em by the time I'm done!"

As for when to meet: "Either or, prolly. Sukeru keeps her phone on at all times and that things battery would probably outlive me so no worries about potentially missing a call there. I look forward to whenever you next show up, though! I think this is a really great opportunity to get some serious training in. So, um, with that all said... goodbye, Jackie. Hope to see you soon!" With that the pair would move to fly off.
