Aww, I'm a little jealous. I just had my baby sister and there's a law about beating up siblings.

[ Leia laughs. ] Competition is healthy though, y'know? I'm sure you guys would have had tons of fun.

Who was training you?

My dad, my teachers, more teachers, Life--

[ she had a lot. ]

...Nice. [ Genuine, not sarcastic. ] See? You had nothing to be jealous of after all.

Well, a childhood friend would've been nice, but I can't complain. I still have a dog.

[ ...Ah, right. She pauses awkwardly there for a second, not entirely sure what to say. She's thankful when she mentions a dog. ]

Awww! We've never had a dog, or... any pets, really, but I sure met a lot of cats when I was traveling.

Strays? I guess cats do kind of go wherever they want.

Sort of. They belonged to someone, but you got the second part right. We were helping her find them all.

-- Wait, just how many cats did she lose?

......Umm... I didn't really keep count. [ The real answer is 100. She answers so cheerfully, either way... ] She was... a bit weird.

... Well, there's cat ladies and then there's... cat ladies.

[ yes, the emphasis is a big deal. ]

[ Yep, she Gets it. And she laughs. ]

Yeah, no kidding. But they're safer with her than they are out where the monsters can get to them...

So we were really saving them! [ She hopes. ]

Sounds like a pretty impressive good deed to me! I'm sure the cats appreciated it, too.

Thanks. And I'm sure your dog misses you, wherever he is...

Wherever he is, he's definitely alive.

[ That isn't quite the response she'd been expecting. Had she implied that he wasn't?

...Maybe she did. Or if not her, CERES. Yeah, that was it. ]

You'll definitely see each other again! Right?

Right! And when I can prove for sure that those guys are lying...

[ don't crack your knuckles, Yang. ]

I'd like that, too.

[ She doesn't think much of the gesture. She does it often herself when she's feeling particularly pumped up, so it only makes her determination rise when she sees it. ]

You think they're our enemy?

I don't trust them. If they're not our enemy, they're not our friends, either.

Fair enough.

...Let's keep each other posted on any breaks in the case, then. Two sets of eyes are better than one.

[ Two brains, too. ]

Got it! Two young, smart, cute girls are definitely better!

[ she said eyes, Yang. ]

[ She beams regardless, taking it as a compliment. ]

I have some shopping to do, but we'll be in touch! Unless you want to come with me.

Normally, totally-- but I have to go make sure my sister's not having too much fun without me. Next time!

Next time, then. [ She nods. ]

Oh! [ As if calling after her: ] And I'm Leia, by the way!

Yang!
