"If you ever decide you want me to carry you flying I think I have enough practice now that it'd be safe, but it's up to you."

"Okay."

And then it can be dinnertime and bedtime.

With singing?

Yup! She sings while she straightens up Eefa's hair and tucks her in nowadays.

Eefa still sort of expects it to stop one night but it hasn't so far and that's really nice and sometimes she'll even smile about it without it being an accident.

The next day is an unusually hot one, and something in the electrical grid gives out, sending Elysium into darkness.

Many of the operations can proceed without power - this isn't unheard of - but Pelape agrees to go alert Dragon.

Eefa wants to go with her this time, not having found a comfortable hiding spot that day.

Sure, they can go out together and then do rounds after that. Knock knock, Dragon.

"Come in! Door's unlocked."

Dragon is underneath her prototype of an electric car, trying to work out some issues with the transmission.

In goes Pelape. "Hey. Saffron asked me to swing by and tell you the Elysium power's out, she said this like you have some standard arrangement with her."

"Yeah - she gets priority on repairs since she was the one who paid for the grid in the first place."

"Cool. See you around, good luck with your car."

"Actually, if you're heading to Elysium now I could use some help carrying materials there."

"I was going to do market rounds next, but I can make one trip with some stuff?"

"That'd help!" Dragon can extricate herself from under the car and grab her materials, handing a toolbox to Pelape and loading up her own backpack with various pieces of equipment and replacement parts.

Eefa freezes up the moment she catches sight of Dragon, staring at her. 

...Pelape doesn't know what's up with that but she can stand close to Eefa. "I'll leave these with the guards at the side entrance," she tells Dragon, and she and Eefa can leave.

Eefa is going to stick so soooo close to Pelape right now.

And back to Elysium they go. "Do you want me to carry you?" she asks Eefa.

Head shake.

"Okay..." Sometimes she's just like this and probing about it doesn't usually help. Back to Elysium they go. Pelape drops off the tools.

Dragon's still working on repairs when it's time for dinner and so Eefa would like to not go to dinner tonight.

"Do you want me to bring you a plate in our room?"
