It took quite some time for Gloriana to regain a semblance of her composure. While she still exhibited a desire to pamper her 'Little Angel', Ves managed to drag her away from their new masterwork mech and push her into an office.
Ves, Gloriana and Calabast all sat down.
Gloriana still looked a bit vacant. She constantly turned her head in the direction of the Little Angel while she idly stroked Clixie's fur. Normally, she treated her pet more affectionately, but right now her furry companion hardly registered in her mind!
"Miaow? Miaow miaow!"
"Oh, I almost forgot about you, Clixie. Sorry!"
Lucky, who was perched on Ves' shoulder, looked sympathetic at his organic counterpart.
"Meow."
Ves reached up and stroked Lucky's back. "Gloriana will snap out of it.. eventually. This is your fault, you know."
His cat angrily raised his metal tail!
"Meow!"
