19th Bloom

[It had been a long month since the final fight with Adventus. In the span of a good two weeks, Hana had been punched in the gut, slapped in the face twice, kneed in the gut, threatened with a knife, had to climb a mountain and ended up helping fight off a small militia that left her bandaged and sore - and netted her an interesting flower-like scar on her back.

Now, she was tired of sitting around and waiting. On the deck of the White Chalice, the Desu Tsubomi, repaired but not been touched since Hana's return, stood on the catapult, ready to be launched. She wanted to see how well she could handle things now, Seiren's orders be damned. She knows that once she's back on her feet, Seiren was going to put her through some training. And she resolved to put her foot down and take back control.

For now, she wanted to fly once more.]

Nanohana Himesaki! Desu Tsubomi! GOOOOOOOOO!

[And with that, the Desu Machine rocketed off into the sky, the Desu Wing appearing once more, letting Hana fly through the sky effortlessly.]

Free... it feels good to do this again...!

(Seiren hails the Desu Tsubomi.)

If you have enough time to get lost in thought you have time to train. Now get down here.

[Called it. The Desu Tsubomi comes to a stop as Seiren calls her up.]

Are you sure, Miss Kurokawa? I mean, weren't you upset just a few days ago? I don't think doing this would be such a good idea...

[Trying a little bit of reverse psychology. Or at least, she hopes...]

Lucky for you I am in a good mood. Now as for your punishment, three days of my 'special' training as promised for disobeying my orders. You'll be working at that along side Myoudouin when I get everything set up. Now get down here.

Wait, Sora? Wh-what did she do? I--

Th-this is nuts! Everything was fine until you showed up! Now it's "special training" and reports and--

[She lets out a sigh, trying to calm down.]

...have you ever, just once, wanted to do something that wasn't "by the book" and rigid? Just not be... how you are? Just because we're pilots doesn't mean we have to act like we're part of the Federation or something like that!

Before you and Sora came in, that's how Eri and I were - we didn't care. We had our mission and we went out to pull it off. And now... it just feels wrong.

Myoudouin failed to report that she was involved with the death of a member of the Chalice.

(Seiren narrows her eyes at Hana. She was not happy with Hana's tone.)

Oh? So you play vigilante and do whatever you like, is that what you want Himesaki? We are pilots and as such we command a lot of power. With power comes restrictions. The more power you have, the more restrictions you have.

Wait, what? When did that happen!?

[Oh, the things she missed out on.]

No, I'm not saying I want to be some vigilante, but at the same time, I don't like how things are. I thought we were supposed to be a team - do you not have any faith in that?

It was the death of Alexei Soras. He died from some kind of psychic overload caused by Kamille. We were lucky that the League had technology to save him or he'd still be dead.

We may be a team but I am your superior officer. As such I have a responsibility to make sure you are following the rules.

[There's a girl on the deck of the Chalice, watching Desu Tsubomi do its aerial manuevers. She seems happy.]

[As the Desu Machine finally comes in for a landing, Hana can't help but notice the girl nearby. Had she been watching the whole time?]

Oh! Hello there!

Hello!

That's a...Pre-destiny unit, right?

The Desu Tsubomi, yes...!

You must be new here - I'm Nanohana Himesaki. Please, just call me "Hana" - it's easier to remember.

Shouko Hazama. Pleased to meet you, Hana.

And it's nice to meet you, too, Shouko!

[Hana realizes something and she starts to blush a bit.]

...I guess you were watching me fly the entire time, weren't you? Did you like what you saw?

[Laura looks up from rubbing wearily at her good eye and inwardly grumbling at the tedium of data entry to see Hana dismounting her Desu.]

Hana! Back on your feet properly?

Just about, yes! How about you, Laura? Are you doing okay?

I am! I'm still pretty beaten up, and I don't have the energy to try summoning my armour yet, but even without it I seem to be healing fast. I should be back up to speed before the Crossbone Vanguard can try to draft me.

Must be good to get back in the saddle, huh?

I'm glad to hear that! And I'm still glad you're here...!

[She can't help but chuckle at her joke, though.]

It really is... though, it means Seiren's going to get on my case now.

The downside of piloting is training, huh?

Sadly, yes... [She lets out a defeated sigh.]

[And the Desu Tsubomi (thanks to Hana) jumps]

...Tsukasa?! H-How are you...?!

Formride Blade Jack. It's easy for me to fly around with it.

Oh! That's actually pretty neat...!

So I took your advice to heart actually. About me being the Devil and keeping myself safe. Of course it was also Mio's suggestion but I think I did some good back in Trinity City.

Really? How so?
