[She doesn't really feel like he understands, but he's trying. And his final question makes her feel guilty. Despite what anyone tells her, she does feel like she's shirking her responsibilities]

Once the baby arrives, and I've had time to recover. Then, we'll come home.

I'll look forward to it, Your Majesty.

[By which he means that he'll be anxious until she's safe back home. PLEASE COME HOME SOON?]

In the meantime, do you have any new orders for me?

Actually, there is something important I need to discuss with you. We managed to cover a lot of information at the last meeting. Do you remember that crystal chalice I purchased from the Treno auction? It was delivered not long before we left. I bought it because I had seen people discussing them around the network, and it seemed important. As it turns out, they're special items used for collecting something called Myrrh, from those strange trees that have been appearing across the continents. Something about them, is key to stabilizing things, and stop all this appearing and disappearing. I expect that soon, more and more expeditions will be formed to collect Myrrh.

I need someone I can entrust with the chalice, and this responsibility.

[He listens carefully.]

If you wish it, I shall take responsibility. I will safeguard the chalice and collect all the myrrh that I can!

Thank you, Steiner. I knew I could depend on you. [she pauses] Since I don't know hwo much longer we'll be away, I'll have the Chalic sent to you, along with further instructions, and all the information I was able to get during the meeting.

As you wish! I shall await its arrival. Please take good care, Your Majesty, and King Zidane too.
