"Meow!"
"Hey, what gives, Lucky?!"
"Meow meow meow!"
Lucky flew over and smacked his hard tail against Ves' head on a continuous basis. The injured gem cat had been holding back his resentment for a long time that it felt good for him to vent his frustrations this way!
"Stop that already! What did I do to you, anyway?!"
"Meow meow meow!"
"Hey, you managed to get out okay."
"Meeeeeooooow!"
"You know I would never abandon you. I would have found some way to pick you up no matter how the battle proceeded."
"Meow!" Lucky hissed for a final time before he dived through the deck to get away from the source of his misery.
Ves shook his head to rid himself from the sting of the tail slaps and tried his best to direct his attention back to the matter at hand.
Though the damaged and reduced expeditionary fleet had successfully managed to leave the Fordilla Zentra System, their flight from the Smiling Samual Star Sector was far from assured.
