The Juraian Royal Palace, Sasami's home, was becoming less and less empty. The additions that she got from the planet before everything went south helped fill in the holes. The sounds of odd barking and meowing also liven things up - she had somehow brought one of the alien puppies she rescued and it had made fast friends with Ryo-Ohki.

However, despite what was going on, she wasn't feeling too bright. Despite what they had done, they still didn't win. It was just plain luck that allowed her to survive that day.

She looked around her home, trying to figure out something to do to pass the time away and get her mind off of what happened. Though, the more she thought, the more she realized something was missing, but couldn't put her finger on it...

"Am I forgetting something?" Sasami asked herself randomly. It felt odd, but it was like something was missing and she couldn't put her finger on it. She shook her head and continued on. Maybe she was acting silly. With that, Sasami continued on through her home, a slight limp in her step as she did.

"Pretty much, yes." Sasami said, nodding. "Though... truth be told... I had no powers before I got this. Negi's pet, Chamo, was teaching me a bit about magic before I got this, but that was it."

It was an odd truth, but it was the truth.

"Then at least I know you're being prepared," Alessa replied. But at the mention of a pet, Alessa looked intrigued. "I wasn't aware that the ship allowed us to have pets. What sort is Chamo?"

"Well... he's kinda hard to describe. He kinda looks like a ferret, but he talks... and he likes to smoke, too." Sasami said, blanching at the idea of smoking.

"But, he's also magical, but... I don't know exactly what he can do."

"A...ferret that talks and smokes." Negi was more and more sounding like the weirdest human gifted with magic that she'd ever heard.

"I suppose I'll ask Negi when I see him then," Alessa said, "And you..are you all right?"

Sasami nodded at Alessa. "I'm fine. My leg hurts a bit, but it'll heal..."

Sasami stepped forward a bit, then with a smile, she opened up her arms, intending to hug Alessa as a bit of reassurance.

This time, she was going to see if it was alright.

"Better for you," Alessa said. Good. Now, at least, she didn't have to worry: not just yet anyway.

The hug thing. Well, with Sasami it felt a little less intrusive, and she HAD been worrying about her well being after all. She returned the hug, albeit gingerly. She wasn't aware of her strength against this girls,' after all.

Sasami returned the hug, more or less a reassuring gesture to let Alessa know she was alright.

"Thank you, Alessa, for checking up on me." Sasami said. Pulling away, she couldn't help but blink and ask something. "...but, why did you? You didn't have to, you know..."

Sasami wasn't the only one surprised at Alessa's reaction: she barely understood it herself. She stared at Sasami a moment, think of what she could say to her.

"I know that," she said. "I chose to because I wanted to. Wouldn't your Negi worry for the same reason?"

Sasami thought for a moment before nodding, a smile on her face. "I guess you're right there." she said. "Thank you, Alessa..."

A slight chuckle left her lips. "While you're here, would you like anything?"

"You are welcome," Alessa said. "Just make sure you don't push yourself unnecessarily."

She wrinkled her nose. "Like what?"

"I won't, don't worry...!" Sasami said.

"Anything, really. Anything to eat, drink... that sort of thing." she grinned sheepishly. "I... don't know what you exactly like, but I wanna try to make you feel at home here..."

You can see it in her eyes and hear it in her voice: she's trying her best to make Alessa feel welcome here.

Oh...that sort of thing. Nanoha had done the same thing once, and despite not really feeling any sort of gluttony for food at all, she could still eat it. She understood that the gesture itself was an act that friendship, and so she relented.

"I suppose I could have some water and...well, what did you have to eat?"
