- See you there. - Flora waved at Sean before finally beginning to climb the ladder. She swiftly made her way to the cockpit and, after getting into it, she stood up and searched for Sean with her look. - I expect you to give me a call once you reach the Freeport! It's non-negotiable.
- Okay, okay! Don't worry so much about me, mom, I am not a little boy any more... - Sean grinned while waving to Flora and backing away from her ship before it took off.
- Yeah... - Flora said seemingly to herself, but loud enough for Sean to hear. She then sat down on the pilot's seat and closed the canopy. As soon as the windhsield closed the ship was filled with a gentle hiss as the life support exchanged the atmosphere. Flora took of the mask and sighed with relief. She then hid the mask in a drawer-like container beneath the seat and turned on the engines. The ship began to vibrate slightly and red glow soon began to creep out of her Dragon's engines. Flora quickly prepared her ship for take off. She was doing everything automatically, however, as her mind was entirely occupied by trying to figure what can Sean possibly come up with.
Meanwhile Sean pulled further back to be safe from exhaust of Flora's ship, remaining at the same side from the Dragon to make it easier for Flora to locate him and not worry about accidentaly hitting him with a shockwave. However even though the lights were activated they couldn't quite reach where Sean was standing and he was confident that Flora wouldn't see him, so he pulled out a small flashlight from one of the inside pockets of his coat and started waving with it to mark his position.
Flora noticed Sean's efforts after he lit up the flashlight. She interpreted them as a simple wave for goodbye and responded with flashing her ship's lights twice, briefly covering the area in purple. She then put on her helmet, sealing it with a faint click. She left the front glass open for now, instead fastening her belts first. She then proceeded to gently lift her ship off the ground. She led her ship sideways, away from Sean, before finally setting her ship's main engines to full power and swiftly flying away, towards the sea. She was keeping her ship low, barely above the tree height. Her ship's noise slowly faded away as the distance increased.
Shortly after seeing Flora's ship off Sean headed to his Caracal, taking his time. Once in the cockpit he took his mask off, and while resting back on the pilot chair he pushed few buttons on the main pannel, followed by the buzz from the generator. For a few moments Sean remained motionless with closed eyes, only gently smiling while reviewing what happen throughout the evening while ships systems were coming online. Once the buzz calmed down and the computer let out a beep informing of the full readyness Sean distracted from his thoughts and put the helmet on. Taking a controller in one hand he pushed several buttons, closing the airlock and starting the secondary engines.
With a moderately loud fuzz the ship getnly lifted off the ground and after picking a course to the sea quickly started gaining speed. Deciding to rendezvous with Flora in space already Sean didn't wait to catch her on radars and immediately started pulling up for altitude...
