Thanks for checking up on me.

[She greets a person in the distance - off camera - for a moment.]

I woke up at the clinic just a few minutes ago, it seems that the rescue team and the ejection system both did their job quite well today and I ended up not suffering any injuries. Aside from my ego being broken, of course.

[She chuckles.]

I have to admit that when I saw you running off I wasn't that keen on just letting you go. It quickly became apparent that there would however not be any following you if you'd keep on disrupting the lanes behind you, so I had to say -something- to get your attention. And what's a better way to get a Rogues attention than to call them a coward in system-wide comms, huh?

[She rolls her eyes, clearly feeling silly about her idea, before looking away.]

I'm sorry about that, you know I didn't mean it, right? Just wanted you to get back and give me the attention I expected earlier, that's all.

Didn't notice you shooting off target just to not damage my ship too much, thanks. It was my first dogfight in... well... in a long time. You'll usually only see me on a gunboat, but lately I thought to myself that I should make more appearances on my snubcraft, so you should be seeing me around on 'em more often.

[Pause.]

Anyway, that's my check-in... what about you?

[She looks towards the camera again, raising an eyebrow.]

"You're full of surprises, Lieutenant," said the charming Rogue who, moments later, would be apologizing for his language.

[She clears her throat.]

The Rogue. The charming Rogue. Apologizing for his Language. The. Rogue.

[She bursts into a laughter that was cut short a second later by a pain that she felt at her chest. She sighs.]

All I did was my job, Guile. I will admit that calling you out like that and forcing you to come back was definitely not part of my job, though.

[She chuckles.]

Couldn't help it, your charm was far too great to let you go like that. Sorry about the ship, hopefully it gets repaired soon enough so we can have a chat again. As for when, I wouldn't know, not at this moment at least. We can talk about that after I'm done with the necessary check-ups and I'm cleared back to base. Just... ugh... keep in mind, as much as I hate to remember it, you're still a Rogue and I'm a Naval officer. There's only so much chatting we can do before we'll have to dance.

[She looks back towards the distance, nodding at a person off-camera, seemingly worried for a moment.]

I... gotta close off for a few hours. I'll reply whenever I'm cleared outta here, okay?

[Laura stared as she found out that Guile was sitting on a cargo crate, letting out a slight giggle at his makeshift chair and his pose. The place she was in was different than what it was at her last transmission. It was evident that she was out of the clinic and currently at an undefined naval station's central area - possibly a cantine or a restaurant.]

I had to take the risk to call you back. Worst case scenario; you'd bring a whole pack with you and I'd see if you had any plans of keeping it fair, if not I'd just dock.

[She took a more serious look.]

Yeah, we really are getting ahead of ourselves. I tend to forget you're a Rogue, Guile, and I have to admit I wish you weren't - but you probably wish I wasn't a naval officer as well. Unfortunately there's not much we can do about that.

[Pause.]

You wouldn't be willing to, and I wasn't going to ask you to leave the Rogues. Same applies for me, of course. That being said, you're good company and I'll continue being more friendly towards you than the rest of your pack, but our meetings will be needing to end in a dance.

[She looks around her a few times, continuing with whispers.]

I don't want to be getting into trouble with my job or anything, I'm sure you understand.

[Laura raises an eyebrow, looking at the revolver in his hands. Seeing what she assumed was a genuine smile on his face she lets out a soft sigh, wondering what she got herself into for a moment.]

You'll hopefully have many moments to savor, provided your pack doesn't get too jealous and maybe take me down for good some day. Heh, nah... you'd never let that happen.

[She chuckles for a few moments as Guile continues talking.]

An invitation to a night out? I-... Ugh... That's not what I intended to mean, at all. I don't wanna be too rough with you or anything but it's too early for -that-.

[Her gaze averts to the distance, evidently staring at nothing for a few seconds, silence following.]

Sorry if I gave you any false hope, I didn't mean to. Now don't get too sad on me, okay? Ya never know where things lead us to.

[She looks back at the camera, smiling genuinely.]

Maybe sometime we'll go on a walk together.

[Laura instantly notices that Guile didn't greet her with the classic 'Yo' at the start of his transmission, worrying. She notices the change in his attitude as he spoke, her own smile slowly fading away as she realizes that she made him sad with her earlier comments. She takes a few breaths, looking for a way to cheer him up again.]

I like to believe I'm more than just a source of entertainment and fun chatter to you, Guile. In any case, I knew I'd make you feel bad with what I said, just had to clear it out as I still don't want you getting any false hopes for stuff that may not - or may - happen.

[She softly smiles at the camera.]

I was thinking... What's your opinion about Fontana? I'd like to take a walk with you around the station, spend some time together and all. To clarify, I don't mean -now-, nor today. Just... a thing to keep in mind in general. I'd like to hang out with you sometime in the future, maybe make up for making you feel sad.

[She raises an eyebrow.]

And don't get any silly ideas about that, okay?
