Coming from below deck, Mia was assaulted with yelling, several people giving off commands and others running about, while others had formed a line on one side of the ship, waving to the pier. She even saw some of the people from the passenger’s hold waving, some even crying.
“Raise the anchor!” “Sails lowered!” “Has a anyone seen Ti?” “over here~!”
Mia navigated through the crowd, shuffling up to the ships side and peering over. A large crowd of people had gathered, waving them off as the ship started to move. Looking between the two groups, she noticed that some of the passengers were waving to people of their same family, some older, some others. She found it odd, why didn’t they get on together?
[Limited space. Couldn’t afford it.]
‘oh…’ she shook the thought out of her head, her ears perking up as she heard her name.
“Mia! There she is!”
She looked towards the pier, seeing Sewell waving her off. She smiled, waving towards him.
“Yes, good luck!” he shouted; his voice being carried by the wind to reach her.
She nodded, watching him get smaller and smaller as they progressed out into th- hrm?
Mia saw as Sett pushed through the crowd, barely making out how disheveled and out of breath he was. She watched him desperately talk to Sewell, who pointed towards her boat leaving the dock.
Sett shouted something out towards the boat, something she was not able to hear, before turning and yelling off into the crowd, running into it and disappearing.

‘what is he doing…?!’ Mia jumped up onto the side of the ship, her eyes wide, she did not believe what she saw.
Sett had came back, dragging with him someone familiar, someone she had not seen for a long while, even considering her time travel. Sett came back with a girl, a fox beastman that looked very similar to Mia, but a lot older and taller…
“Sister?!” she panicked ‘How?! Why?! This is…sister!’ she watched helplessly as the two discussed on the docks, both Sewell and Sett looking concerned but unable to do anything, her sister doing much the same, but they were getting too far away ‘is mom with her? Dad?’ she looked, but couldn’t see them.
She leaped off the side of the ship, thinking hard what to do ‘save slot 2 is… with auntie… slot 3 is still in port.’ She brought up her panel, staring at slot 3. If she went back, she’d see her sister… maybe even get her on the ship…
[Mia, no.]
‘Why not?’ she asked ‘It’s only a few minutes. i…want to see her…’ the last time she did see her was way before the attack on the village, when she went hunting.
[She will probably head to Lexon after you, you’ll see her eventually.]
‘But I can go back and see her now!’
[And if you can’t get on another ship?]
‘Then I’ll figure something out.’
[With the state you are in? what if she drags you away from your goal, Lexon.]
“I…” she paused, that was within the realm of possibility, she also didn’t see her mom, or dad. She slumped onto up against the side, sliding down to the wooden floor ‘…’ she cursed herself, just like when it came to going back to see her mother anytime she wanted, she couldn’t do that for her sister as well. She had to get stronger, and if she got distracted by that while going back when she was planning on resetting everything anyways…
She slapped her face, causing a few people to take notice of her ‘Fine…she’s heading to Lexon anyways, right?’
[Most likely, especially after seeing you.]
She didn’t know where her mom and dad where, if not with Ria then…she didn’t know, why was Ria by herself?
[A lot of refugees are gathering at Leaffin, they might be there.]
‘So I might see all of them at Lexon.’ Mia smiled, it was something to look forward to. She stood up, brushing herself off and staring at her mist ‘before then, have to fix this…’ she had five days of free time, after all.
