I'm not opposed. I asked because I thought that there might be a way for me to see whee you've gone. I know the magitek doesn't let us connect across guilds. [Or else it would be easier to communicate with those who have been transferred away. These types of partings would be easier.]
And in turn, I could show you things, too. But I suppose we wouldn't have a way to really communicate when it's time to see.
Oh. [ That's a thought, isn't it? She thought these would work like the Magitek did, rendering them useless once they're hopping the multiverse once more. But if it didn't— ]
Still, it's more than what I could hope for. I'd like to keep up with your upcoming missions one way or another.
If we can manage a time and a place for you to see the dossier when you peer in, we can do that. [It's not entirely workable, but they can make it happen.]
And you have to trust that I will adapt, even without you. [Even if she doesn't want to—she will.]
You will. [ Lucina has no doubt otherwise. No hesitation, no second thoughts. She knows that Veronica's reasons for a bodyguard were well justified, and there are still ways to go before she can truly stand against dangers on her own, but—
She will adapt. With, or without a bodyguard by her side. ] You have a strength to you that others may overlook. I am grateful that I was not one of them. [ Now— all Lucina can hope is that they will see each other again, one day. ]
[Even if it's time for Veronica to take her incentive and go, she's going to wait until Lucina returns from a mission. Such a thing feels important to her.
Her hand extends to Lucina.]
I suppose such words are ... as good of a farewell as any. It may feel hollow, but you are one of the strongest, most loyal people I've ever met. And as I've now made clear, I am used to quite the opposite arrangement among those who are closest to me back home. Well, excluding my closest comrades, of course.
[ If you ever permadrop Veronica I'll do one last goodbye thread with you then
There's little hesitation as Lucina takes the hand. It's a firm handshake, still intensely formal by the virtue of who Lucina is, but it's still warm, somehow. ] They don't feel hollow at all. [ Maybe it's her voice. ]
Likewise. [ ( She doesn't intend to forget. ) ] ... Farewell.

I wish you the best of luck, Veronica.

[Her family is sketchy as hell, basically.]
It would be difficult to forget you.
