Letting Ketis take part in the exploration mission filled Ves with a lot of misgivings. Yet he also felt proud of her. Out of all of the mech designers in the Larkinson Clan, he felt she matched his inclinations the most.
Of course, they were two very different people. Ves was raised in the Bright Republic and enjoyed a relatively normal, civilized upbringing.
Ketis had to fight to survive from the moment she was born. If Lydia's Swordmaidens hadn't recruited her, she would have likely suffered a much worse fate!
From the start, the two led completely different life trajectories. The fact that they encountered each other and developed a close friendship was remarkable.
This was because no matter their differences, it was their similarities that bonded them together.
Both of them liked to get up close and personal.
Both of them were passionate about designing mechs.
