Kiss! For her ever improving sister.

El reciprocates, for her own sister in ascendance.

They're also getting better at kisses, she sees. 

It would be hard not to.

They're getting lots of practice. 

Very important, that.

Essential for a lot of things. 

Indeed.

Some time later - 

Field day goes as unpleasantly as usual (Liesel is not exactly athletic), but it at least heralds the end of remedial work (which she doesn't have) and, importantly to her, the end of waiting for final class rankings. Those are posted in the cafeteria at breakfast shortly after field day; she and Bea will want to get down there early. 

"I'm sure you got it."

"It's always good to verify."

"See, that dutiful attitude is exactly why."

"I've got to keep my streak going."

"No rest for number one."

"Not yet, at least."

"After we get out?"

"At the earliest."

"I'd bet on a day and a half at the outside before you find your next big project."

"If I don't just hit the ground running."

"No, you'd at least take the time to spoil me a bit."

"I'd have to get us in a position so I can spoil you rotten..." Such as getting from Germany to London, though that shouldn't take too long.

"That should hardly take any effort."

"Might take a bit, to spoil you to the level you deserve..." Which possibly involves an empire.

"You can work up to that."

"A long term goal?"
