[[Well, Mio's finally all well and good now, but, that means that she's on her way out the door.

She's packed what little she needs; which is probably miniscule compared to Tsukasa's things. A Brittanian transport has come to pick her up as well, but it's not as if she's just going to hop on and take off.

There's her squad, and her friends, who would surely like to say goodbye to her, despite the recent line of loss and tragedy they just went through.

Surely Tsukasa is here too, but you could probably shoot him away if you're trying to have a more moeprivate moment.]]


((After this post is concluded, Mio (and Tsukasa) will be off the ship until the next Strike Witches mission. This would be that transition from Season 1 to Season 2. Canonically, that's a six month gap; here's hoping that it won't ACTUALLY be that long!))

Major...

[Laura salutes. Crisply, too.]

Good luck. The ship won't be the same without you.

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

I'm certain, somehow, you'll manage. Lieutenant Yaeger will still be here.

[emorangerpink]

I didn't say we wouldn't manage, ma'am. I said it wouldn't be the same.

[Not quite managing to keep the smile off her face...]

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

[[Mio isn't strict military, you know. She is but, she knows when it's time to be casual too. She's not socially inept, you know.]]

Just don't get used to me being gone. I expect NO slacking, understood. [[She barks the orders, but, smiles at the same time.]]

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

Mio?

[ Char approaches the pantsless witch, actually looking somewhat disappointed. He manages to catch her while she's still in their room. ]

Don't be gone too long. You don't really trust Cynthia to sleep in the same room as me alone, do you?

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

That I do not, about as much as I trusted Soryuu to have stayed there as well.

But, while I"m gone, there's nothing I can do but expect YOU to be the responsible adult.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

Of course, Mio. It was just a joke. Besides, Haman would kill both of us.

[ Char sighs, and smiles. ]

Even with Cynthia there, it's going to be awful quiet without you.

Major

[She stepped into attention.] You'll hurry back right?

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

[[Oh look, something of a hug!]] As best as I can. I trust you'll behave for Lieutenant Yaeger?

[aceshighgrope.livejournal.com]

[Ack! Hugs!] Of course I will, I'll be on best behavior don't worry. You and Tsukasa have some fun on your trip.

[She's returning the hug of course.]

[moonpiercedrill.livejournal.com]

Oi.

[He does his own salute, pointing to Mio as he finishes.]

Don't worry about a thing. We handled things before and we'll do it now.

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

There's very little that I do worry about. This ship has good people on it. Their behavior is... questionable, but their hearts are in the right place.

[[After the salute, Mio offers her hand. Wats dis nao?]]

[moonpiercedrill.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah, they do.

[He catches sight of her extending her hand. He's going to take that risk and go for it!]

[emorangerblack.livejournal.com]

I didn't expect you to leave the ship before I do.

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

I'll be returning. I'm simply submitting a report in person. Then taking a brief hiatus. Don't get used to me being gone, Misses Kwan.

[emorangerblack.livejournal.com]

I realize it is only temporary.

...

Do not get into trouble you cannot handle.

[spiralribbon.livejournal.com]

[She was not at 100%, but Mobius is not going to let something like mind crushing horrors stop her. Mio's a friend, and one of the few M1 has.]
"Major Mio. have a safe trip"
[She saluted, trying to keep attention off her red eye.]
"If you need anything, you still have my number. I'll Supercruise my way there."
[The back of her mind still had what Yoshika said.]

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

"Understood, M1"

[[This is one of those times that Mio would've said 'Yuki' but, it's just not in her nature to use first names. Tsukasa is that ONE exception.

And a salute.]] "But you should worry about your own recovery first. Mister Haley does good work. When he's finished with Yaeger's Strikers, I'm sure you can have him get to work on your plane."

[spiralribbon.livejournal.com]

"No, You do not need to worry about me."
[She did not want Mio to worry about her.]
"You get your work done. come back safe and we'll have some formation flights ok?"

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

Sakamoto...! I-I mean, Major!

(Yoshika saluted her CO nervously, having a LOT of things she wanted to say to her and none of them coming out.)

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

[[Mio returns the salute, then, just like Lucchini, gives her a little hug.]]

[aceshighhealer.livejournal.com]

(Yoshika hadn't expected the hug, but hugs back for a moment or two.)

...I'm gonna miss you! I'm sorry I caused all the trouble before things with the General and the Neuroi happened.

[saikyocivrobo]

Going so soon? The place won't be the same without your presence. And I mean both of you.

[Prometheus waves his hand energetically.]

[aceshighsword.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately so. I've got a report to submit.

I'm certain you'll get along fine without me. Kadoya, on the other hand...

[saikyocivrobo]

Don't worry, nobody should starve while you're gone. He's not the only cook we have on board.

...The best one, yes, but not the only one.
