Approximately 20 kilometers to the east of the capital of Deltas a single closed type AEHWP transport was parked under a large tree. Inside sat Iris and hugged a slightly shaking Abel that she had finally captured after a short scuffle.

"Will they? Lilly too?"

After traveling with Iris for a while Abel had learned that Iris never expressed any kind of emotion in her speech or expression, but she generally always meant what she said.
