"Nope, noooo no no no, im staying! There is no way im going back to 'her' so she can bug me!"
"Huh-who's her?"
"....T-The lunar ambassador, she keeps trying to break me when my father is dying...,"
"Woah...so she really is here-gross-"
Torin popped his head into the room
???: Your Highness, as much as I hate to interrupt-you have a political meeting in 15 minutes-"
"Oh what!? Dammit, can you cancel it? im not trying to see her right now.."
He shook his head
???: "It's with the other Earthen leaders-you won't have to interact with her."
Cinder squeezed his hand a little before letting it go, smiling at him
"Go-do your job and all that..."
"....You better hope I don't, Listen Cinder, I'll be back when the meeting is back, alright?"
???: "Ah-well we're just about done with this research...-"
"Hm-I do need to get Iko home-but I'll come back when your android's done!!"

"Jesus i forgot about that! I really need that soon, do you think you could maaaybe put that as one of your priorities? ;0-0;"
"Hmmmm...you pulling rank there, Prince Kai?"
She teased him
