Ember spent her time at Pisces station watching the conference remotely in one of the other conference rooms. She felt discouraged and disappointed after the first day’s events and held little hope for the second day’s. But the notion of the armistice intrigued her and as she waited to hear the resolution she had gone back to trying to figure out what sort of trade agreements she could possibly manage between Hotaru and Pisces.
The… open civilian market provided a chance for her to obtain some “unique” items for Hotaru but her main concern was possibly obtaining some new strains of food crops to increase the variety and general food stores for the growing civilian population. She tapped her data pad’s stylus idly on the table in front of her. She had an idea of what she wanted and how she might be able to accomplish it but she was distracted.
She kept thinking about what Ami had said to her before she left the station to come to Pisces…
“Aunt Emmy, can you give Mr. Davis a kiss for me?” Ami said very brightly, looking up at Ember with large imploring clear, ocean blue eyes as she held the older woman’s hands.
“A…what?!” Ember’s own blue eyes were wide in shock as her cheeks flushed a bright red.
“A kiss! He’s a nice man! I don’t know if he’s gonna like the teddy bear but maybe he’ll like a kiss better?” Ami speculated, ignoring Ember’s embarrassment.
“Who are you getting these ideas from, Ami?” Ember asked, trying to figure out who she’d have to scold for teaching the little girl these ideas.
“I remember something Daddy said about the amount of love something was given,” Ami replied thoughtfully.
Ember didn’t know what to say to that. Ami’s father had been killed in the line of duty… how could she ignore such as request…
But when Ember had given Robert Davis his present from Ami she hadn’t mentioned the kiss. The Sky Marshall was trying to work and so was she… it was unprofessional to do that sort of thing in front of the representatives of both nations… she also doubted that the IPG officers would allow her to get that close at all after what Taisho Ketsurui had said. She frowned as she scoffed at her inability to do anything about her… crush.
It’s just a crush, pure and simple. I was reminded a little too much about home when I met Robert. I didn’t think about how much I missed Nepleslia until... The Chujo’s thoughts drifted back over what she might or might not have been feeling. Now that I think about it… I just haven’t tried to get involved with anyone. Maybe I’ve been too absorbed in work? She sighed as she started back down at her proposals and notes on her data pad. She frowned when she observed that she had drawn little hearts in the margins and “R.D” in the middle of them. “Oh damn it all…”
