Emerald watched the girl, completely unaware of her fears about Lula leaving without her again. Although she did see a hint of it in her eyes, but, didn’t know what it was. When Lola found herself on the couch, Emerald moved over and sat down beside her, sideways; one leg and knee folded on the cushions, the other hanging off the side of it.
Emerald bit her lips some listening to Lola; hearing the confusion and taking it as if she didn’t know if she wanted to or not. And the older woman, started thinking how she was going to tell Lula, who seemed so happily wanting to go. But then she nodded a bit when she answered. And emerald gave a look that said, you don’t have to, if you don’t want. … “You sure? Cause, it’d be wonderful. But, you don’t have to. And, well, things be a bit, complicated lately, with me helping out Talos and other stuff. Sometimes work gets a bit… well dangerous. But… you and Lula won’t see any of it. Ships safe, keeps folk out, you should know that.” She knew she sounded rambly, but, she figured Lola needed to know, that going with them meant there might be risk at some point.
She knew that Lola knew that the ship had really advanced shielding, and weapons, along with two of the shuttles, the specially designed ones. It would have always have been clear what the ship was built for, so, Emerald sort of felt that maybe she didn’t need to point it out. But, thought it was needed, maybe she forgot, or, being sheltered here on Paquin, she never known what it might be like. Emm didn’t want to frighten the girl from changing her mind. But, felt everyone that ever got on her ship, that, they needed to know what sort of crew they were joining. Then she added, “I was really hopin’ you’d want to… cause… well I could really use your pilotin’ skills. And, I know you can fly her.”
