Today was the day of Avril's return. A Gaian Ishtar-class heavy-assault cruiser swiftly descended on the surface of the Southern Four Lakes, and a shuttle carrying Avril and Sarah aboard embarked on the shore where Xia Fei, Furball and Pod were all already waiting.
Avril alighted from the shuttle with a smile, and Pod went rushing over to help carry her luggage. Pod's new look gave her quite the pleasant surprise, "Eh? Why do you look completely different, Pod? You seem a lot more spirited, too."
Pod somewhat bashfully scratched his head. Now that his propulsion speed had been greatly improved, he did not feel a bit tired shuttling back and forth with the luggage.
"You look thinner." Xia Fei smiled and came over to give Avril a hug before lightly commenting with concern.
