Zeph left in a bittersweet mood as it was nice to see Laxana and Sonya again and spend a little quality time with them after being away from them for a few days.
But knowing that when he tried to see them in a few days during the classified operation to transfer Lustia Lunesta Haniel it would be the last time he could see them for at least two weeks, made his heart ache for them.
The only solace he could find in it was that Amelia and Laxana would get plenty of time to enjoy each other's company. If not for having to make sure that Lilith, Krynienne, and Allison got plenty of satisfying meals he would likely have not been allowed to use his extremely high position of authority to demand that they be allowed to come on such a critical mission that required the highest levels of secrecy.
