Terra-Node Station #3

Zuqetta grin, her tail swaying about excitedly behind her merely at the mention of the tentative yes. As Ambrose went on, her enthusiasm would remain high, his conditions hardly anything to question in the least. She couldn't help but laugh a bit at the first condition, but would choose to answer plainly.

"Absolutely." she'd say firmly, "Dreadspawn is like a home away from home, stay as long as you like and if you feel you and your family need to leave, you won't be barred from doing so. Hehe, on that note, if you guys ever wanna return, then the door is always open!" she'd explain happily, "I don't make the offer lightly, so no matter the circumstance, you and your family are always welcome!"

She'd hold out a hand, happy with the discussion that'd been had thus far; Ambrose's mention of Cheri however put a bit of concern in her mind. She'd figured that her own plans for the planet might conflict with the Chancellor, they were both of a people sharing the same world after all. It wasn't something she'd be overly concerned about for the moment however, knowing full well that she'd be having an audience with the Chancellor soon enough.

"Well then, Dreadspawn's happy ta have ya!" she'd say, hand remaining outstretched to shake Ambrose's own; she'd then glance back towards Mitama and Momo, "And you two as well! Mitama, you're always free ta visit if ya wanna play." she'd smile, then looking towards Momo, "So long as your... mom, says it's okay."

There was still the slightest wariness, but it had begun to fade; even Zuqetta had been able to pick up on the genuinely kind aura Momo had towards Mitama. Something like discipline was simply natural to parents, and was for the well-being of the child's future... or at least, that was what Zuqetta was telling herself to get over any negative feelings she still held.

Her attention then returned to Ambrose, her previous laugh returning as she finally questioned his first condition.

"Heh, as if ya needed ta ask that first one though! I was offerin' it in the hopes it'd motivate ya some on workin' on the food stuff, I didn't think you were already interested in such a thing!" she'd say, "I'll figure out a different reward then; I think Ticoga would be happy ta meetcha! Well be havin' a meetin' soon enough too, so don't make any holiday plans." she'd remark, backing away and crossing her arms as she gave a confident nod, "That said, I'll be meetin' with the Chancellor soon enough too... hehe, I'll try not ta let what ya've mentioned shake my nerves."

While her meeting with the Chancellor was more for the two to get to know each other, Zuqetta knew particular topics were sure to come up. Something as important as the restoration of Plant was only one such topic. The words "short-sighted" worried her, such a thing didn't imply ineffectiveness to Zuqetta, yet she'd have to wait until she spoke with the Chancellor properly to get an opinion of her own.

Her recruitment of Ambrose and his family now concluded, Zuqetta would spend the rest of her time answering what she could with Ambrose, departing once the tower had finished it's calibrations. She'd leave a scouter with him, a custom one materialized from her own magic; its functions were limited, meant only to provide the location to The Eclipse, and to allow direct communication with other Dreadspawn members. As a collapsible scouter, it could be easily tucked away for convenience, though she'd only provide the one, and encourage Ambrose not to misplace it.
