[... okay almost never have a reason for it. Misty’s still upset at losing Leia, but her anger almost immediately dissipates. In fact, she goes so far as to hug Leia, throwing her arms around her shoulders.]

Well of course you have to go to her!

[She pulls back and grips Leia’s hands emphatically.]

She’s lucky to have such a good mama.

[What’s that like, having a family who gives a shit about you, even when they never even knew you existed?]

[imahologram]

I hope she does.

[The way Misty's emotions turn on a dime is intense, to say the least, but at least she seems a little less miserable. And the hug is sweet of her. When she pulls away, Leia gives her a tentative smile.]

She's more than half my age. I've got a lot to learn about parenting--and fast.

[mistyday]

You should talk to Castle! He's a dad ain't he?

[imahologram]

...That's not a bad idea.

[And it's not something Leia would have thought of. The perpetual tangled drama of her family ties isn't something she wants to share, for the most part...but this would be something small. Mostly unrelated.]

Thank you.

[mistyday]

You're welcome.

[Her brow furrows.]

And... you are gonna come back to visit, right?

[imahologram]

Of course I will!

[She's moving ships, not galaxies.]

And you'll have to visit me on the Bishop. Maybe I can introduce you to her.

[mistyday]

Really? Oh I'd love that!

[imahologram]

I would, too. [And she means it, even if part of her motive is to mollify Misty.]

[mistyday]

And if you ever need any help, just let me know. I’ll be there.

[imahologram]

Thank you, Misty. You know I will.
