The Eighth Flight

[As much as Ichitaka wanted to go out and help defend the ship his Super Robot was in no condition to do so. The fight with Granzon as well as trying to retrieve Imber had left the machine rather wrecked. At the moment the boy was repairing the machine on his own. It was pretty clear that he had gained some form of mechanical skills as he didn't seem to have any problems with the repairs so far.]

Maybe I should have been a bit more careful.

[Finally taking a break Ichitaka takes a moment to relax and think to himself about recent events. Needless to say it crashed pretty hard on him when he finally took the time to absorb what had happened.]

Some Ally of Justice I turned out to be...

[And here Julia was, about to sit down next to Ichitaka and eat her second breakfast in the hangar when she heard that.]

Hey, keep your chin up. We can repair the Rushbird, right?

Of course, though I guess I must seem like a huge hypocrite right now.

People are often harder on themselves than others when it comes to their failings. Harder than they should be.

[Is Julia talking about Ichitaka or herself? Who knows, but she's just gonna munch on some omelet.]

[There's just a nod along with a knowing look from Ichitaka before he sits down next to her.]

So how are things on your end?

Reflecting the ideology of the tortoise. All I can do is proceed forward, slow as it may be.

Still haven't really decided what I'm going to pilot. Dita offered a certain machine a while ago... but I haven't had the chance to try it out yet.

Everyone seems to be running around trying to figure out something for you.

[curseu-reflexes.livejournal.com]

And it's... well, I do appreciate it.

But for the moment I'm still at a crossroads. And I'd rather weigh all my options and consider everything before going ahead with anything in particular.

It's good though don't you think. That everyone cares so much about you to do that.

[curseu-reflexes.livejournal.com]

It really is...

I'm in an environment filled with people that want to help see me overcome this hurdle; it's a good environment for doing just that!

Well I'm glad that you're getting help with your problems.
