Alexei did an "around the colony" before returning the yo-yo to his hand. "You know how guys are. Especially soldiers. So quick to rush to aid of a damsel in distress. She's a cute kid, but I prefer my damsels a lot more in control of things. If I'm not mistaken, she was promoted on a warrant right?"
TVTropes Nuzlocke Thread. - Arceus Help Us All."That's a flattering image," Hobbes said, responding to the clowns comment. He followed Heartfield's gaze to the display screen and glumly agreed to himself that things weren't going well in the conference proper.
"Flint, let's get to the hanger. I've a feeling they're going to be looking for us soon," he said, and started moving towards the door.
"Oh, she was choking? I'm sorry, I just get so wrapped up in conversations I just lose track of my surroundings! Especially with Lady Bannikberg, she provides such stimulating discourse I can hardly stop sometimes."
Alexei turned back to Lorraine.
"I see, well, I treat my subordinates with as much respect as I would a good friend. So she has nothing to worry about."
TVTropes Nuzlocke Thread. - Arceus Help Us All.Lorraine turned her attention to the monitor, the delegates were bickering like schoolchildren, in the middle of it all, Illwax Landsteiner was playing the schoolyard bully.
Lorraine sighed and turned back to Alexei.
"Yes well....hm....The meeting doesn't seem to be going very well."

I spread my wings and I learn how to fly...."Hmmm, sounds like there could be trouble. Might I suggest a temporary retreat to the docks, Lorraine? Or do you not think it necessary."
TVTropes Nuzlocke Thread. - Arceus Help Us All.Flint saw Hobbes walking for the door, trying to come up with something witty to say but failing. In spite of all his hopes, this conference had indeed gone sour, and any hope for a definitive peace was a dream at best. He knew that Hobbes spoke from experience, and slowly started to follow him. "I'll...be seeing you people in a moment", he stammered, "we've got some things to do." Breathing a sigh of despair this time, he left the room.
"Very well," Alexei gave a sharp whistle. "Alright Knights, we're heading to our ship, be on the bridge ASAP, we will discuss matters further there."
TVTropes Nuzlocke Thread. - Arceus Help Us All."I will radio ahead to the Castellan and have the crew begin preparing your frames for action." Dain said. He saluted the knights before turning to door and following Jimmy and loraine out.
As he strode to his shuttle, he pulled a communicator out of his tunic pocket and began speaking into it.

Alexei pocketed his yo-yo and started briskly walking to the ship.
Damn politicians. I was beginning to think I'd at least have a year off. Well, this was what I was made for. This sort of thing is merely homework.
TVTropes Nuzlocke Thread. - Arceus Help Us All.The commotion on the screen was dying down. Another man was speaking. "We will be taking a short recess to recover our calm and focus, and so some quieter conversation can be had. If you would, please head to the viewing decks as some of the pilots from both sides demonstrate their Frames."
The screen paused briefly on Kahlings and Altwoods, who were both deep in conversation and heading towards the viewing decks.
Loam stood up and stretched. "Well, that's that," he said. "Guess we'd better head to our mechs."
The shuttle was waiting at the docks. The Centauri pilot had the engines fired up and the hatch open, so Dain climbed aboard.
"Mister Fenton" Dain spoke to his first mate. "It seems the flight demonstration is about to begin. I want the flight deck crews to their stations, making ready for a mass AMF launch in 15 minutes. I will be arriving shortly."

Jimmy realized he was still hungry.
"Any you fellas, and lady, want me to fetch you something from the table?" he offered.
