Nivalis only went home after she'd had her fill of Dragon Island. The moment she stepped through the door, she saw Mistblade sitting on the sofa with three swords on her back.
Mistblade glanced past Nivalis and asked, "Where is she?"
Nivalis lifted her chin and adjusted an imaginary tie. "Do you have an appointment?"
"..." Mistblade's hand lightly rested on her sword hilt. The more she thought about BS Rita's pet, the more speechless she felt, and she couldn't help but give Nivalis a crooked smile.
Nivalis clasped her hands and gave a small bow. "...Please wait a moment!"
With that, she vanished—clearly heading into the pet space to look for Rita.
When she returned from the pet space, Nivalis appeared instantly in the captain's cabin.
The room was quiet and warm. The lantern hovered calmly above the desk. Four cats and a small robot crowded the not-so-small tabletop, yet by some tacit agreement they left ample space for the person who was intently writing.
