"It wasn't a problem. At first I wasn't planning to do anything about all of this but then I saw everyone else getting excited. Offering people rides was the least I could do." Still, Mary had done a bit of creative contribution of her own. Like that random airship-borne fireworks show from the week prior.

She held out the glass of wine in offering, "I'm sorry. This isn't much of a gift. I do have something in mind but it may take a little bit of work and time." She was reminded briefly of when she taught Anne to fight. Saori was way ahead of her skill wise already but...it felt good to have a student.
