[Excuse the owlish-eyed girl with the weird pasted-on smile. She has things to talk about!]

Attention...!

I will not use names, because I don't want to embarrass them, b-but...! I needed to tell a very particular pilot something very important! And that is this: if you do d-decide to propose to Miss L — to, ummmm... to your girlfriend, you should not give her a ring made out of spaceship parts. Because that's kind of strange to wear. I believe that sort of advice should be applied to everyone, though...!

Unless the person you love really, really, really enjoys spaceships.

I suppose we should all wear what makes us happy!

I do admit, I've always wanted jewelry... I-I mean, I know they're very expensive most of the time, but I've never gotten to wear any before. Maybe I should make some! Oh, but I don't think I would be very good at it... Is there a particular way to make nice jewelry, even for someone like me? Necklaces and rings and....

....

I don't think I can wear earrings. That seems like it would hurt.

Ah!! I apologize, I guess I've been thinking so much about different topics! Like — games, and stories, and stuff to wear, and so many new things that I've never gotten to enjoy myself before. I think I even have.... friends! Do I? Is there a level that I need to reach with people before I can be friends with them? P-perhaps there's a way to officiate friendships...

Maybe with rings, like marriage! Friendship rings!!

[ Hera thinks maybe she knows who Koala is talking about, but that's not her business. Still - ]

I think anytime people exchange jewelry - for any reason - it should be meaningful for them. Maybe spaceships are meaningful for some people.

But friendships are pretty subjective. I think it's safe to say you have a few.

[What are you talking about she was SUPER!!! DISCREET!!!]

Subjective.... that sounds very intimidating.

Does that mean some may not see me as a friend, even if I see them as one?

It's possible, but you don't need to worry about that. It would say more about the other person than about you.

I suppose so... I'd want to find a way to be more worthy of a friend, but...

[If she says not to worry -- she will try to.

... Keyword, try.]

Who are your friends here in the Fleet?

You're plenty worthy.

[ Hera tilts her head a little at that question. ]

Aside from you? Well, there's Celeste. And I like to think some of the people I've been teaching how to pilot consider me a friend. Ahsoka and Obi-Wan, too.

Oh, I'm Obi-Wan's friend! I-I at least hope so! I think he's my friend.

He's a very nice person, isn't he? Always so patient!

Yes, he is. And a good listener, too.

Oh, yes, definitely!

[She leans in, whispering a bit.]

But sometimes I worry about him being sad. I think we should invite him to... I don't know! More things to keep his thoughts busy!

Indeed. If nothing else, I think we should definitely make sure he's not lonely.

[She nods, grinning.]

Absolutely! It will be our secret mission.

That's the best secret mission I've heard of in a long time.

I'm glad to hear it! We'll do wonderfully, I think.
