Are you okay? Did you get injured? I told you it's risky, why? Why do you still do this? This surely wasn't the first or last time this will happen. I know. I just don't know if this is still a good idea of yours. I understand why you choose this way, I respect it, I don't like it.
But my opinions aside. All that matters is that you are alright. The Hampshire and their crew should pay for it though, as much as I don't have anything against Liberty but this.. they risked to kill you and found it amusing. They should get a few holes in that hull, I wish I could do it myself! Oh, Florence. Please still be there!
Anata wa watashi ni totte, totemo daiji na sonzai desu, please don't leave me behind without you!

Bonjour, my dear,
I didn't even know that you saw me there, I guess you were this Bounty Hunter Gunship, however you got this. Oui, I am alright, don't worry, nothing happened, just a little tiny accident, no big deal. But why for the Roi's sake you are in Leeds while there is a war going on? I know you don't like it, that is fine, it doesn't matter, I will let you any freedom you wish for and you should do the same, we are born into different lives, therefore our choices differ as well. But does this need to affect our relationship? Non, right? I even wanted to visit you again, getting myself a civilian ship to not be looked negatively upon by the Kusari authorities, my career here is going very well, as of now.
The "IIuvia Acida" is not my vessel. I borrowed it once again from a friend of mine, she allowed me and some other sisters to use it whenever they feel to roam around in Liberty for a bit.
I know it shouldn't affect us but it does, I am just worried. Overdonely worried, considering my own goals and my way of life. But I doubt fighting how I do it can be compared to fighting at a war front. Just keep yourself safe, hai? This is all I ask for, nothing matters besides this for now.
I will be at the front from time to time from now on, whenever I can. I feel it already, one day you will need me to be there and help and I do not want to be in Kusari when this happens. The Iluvia likely be just a temporary solution, I will tell you once I got myself a vessel to help with, without risking any serious consequences. The sisters can survive a few days every week without me helping them.
I might have something prepared for your free days already by the way, so don't you dare getting injured or not be able to show up!
Will see you either in space or back at our house.

Bonjour, my dear,
I promise to do my very best to not get injured but I cannot guarantee for it, neither can you, knowing you are at the front from time to time... I don't know if I like this now but you have your own head anyways so I can't and won't stop you. I already feel safer, knowing you are there to look out for me and are willing to leave your sisters for a while, very,
very caring.

Bonjour, chéri,
I have taken a few days off so I can visit you again, it has really been some time. I need a break from work as well, it has been extremely tough there, but it seems like you have seen it by yourself, haven't you? *She giggles and wipes her hair from her face* And I could really see something else than explosions on all sides, some time off will do well, I will come to Honshu, if you don't mind, oui? Civilian vessel, et cetera, don't get winded up in your work, okay?
You couldn't have find a better time for this! I just managed to get home after quite some busy days on my side too and having you here will be just perfect. Oh, I will have to go shopping again then! Don't let me wait for too long, watashi no ai, else I will come and get you here!
Hope you didn't forget the exact adress, just in case I give it to you again: Planet Honshū, Akashi-kaikyō district, City of Awaji-shima, Hyōgo Street 3C
What did you just think there? Attacking this Brigand when the Privateer Gunboat and transport are around? That was a close call, what if you got hurt or even shot down and taken prisoner?
And for Amaterasu's sake, stop saying you would rather die if they tried to take you prisoner. I could have talked you out there and get everything to be peaceful instead of this. But you, I was afraid, okay? I was afraid that Gunboat and fightercraft get you and it would have happened if the Brigand didn't suddenly run away. I would have tried everything if they took you prisoner to give you to us, never, just really never say again you would kill yourself. End up as prisoner in the worst case, I save you, trust me I could. But stop saying this things, don't you get how.. Aimi barely let me get dragged off the bridge, I wanted to do something to help so damn much!
Please, be a little bit less agressive when you are outnumbered, hai? Atleast when I am forced to look unable to do anything without harming you myself. I don't ask for more than this.

Bonjour, chéri,
*she sighs and shakes her head, embarrassed at her own failure* I don't know what went into me, I just couldn't let them get away, they are criminals after all. I simply didn't know that you wouldn't help me, I thought you would, if I would have known that the Golden Chrysanthemums are friends with the Privateers and Brigands, I wouldn't even have started. But you know how it would look for me to just stand there and have a nice talk with enemies of the crown, I don't want the Grande Maréchale to accuse me of treason, if I see them, I have to attack them. And sadly, I cannot take my words back, I will never end up as a prisoner by choice, they would have to catch me to do that, trust me, I would rather die for Gallia than landing in the prison of Bretonia. That sounds horribly stupid to you mais we couldn't be more different with our patriotism and mine requires loyalty into death. The only thing I can prefer over my service is you.

Mi,
where are you? You promised me to tell me when you are in the Omegas, you promised it, I still don't have a message from you. Are you alright? I've been worrying enough now, is this a revenge act for all the worries you had because of me? I already said that I am really sorry but this is slowly becoming a mindgame. Please reply.
