Ilia nodded, willing to listen to anything her teammate had to say on the matter. Because... that's what they were. Teammates. The closest thing to a partner she had here. She missed Rose. She missed Captain. She missed Roddick. She missed having a full team that she could rely on, but for now Seishin would do. And she was going to appreciate him for however long she had him.

What he said made sense. Charon was probably going to be a constant obstacle for them. They couldn't rule out all difficulties just because they had something to make things "easier."

"Yeah, you kind of have me to blame for that," Ilia sighed, wincing. She had definitely played a big hand in that fiasco. But... oh well. Not much they could do about the past. "I'll see what I can do about getting him to agree to going with you taking today's penalty. Just keep pretending to be shy or something."
