[That was just how Takane was; mysterious and distant, excessively polite to both friend and foe alike. It was just in her nature to not let people in so easily---Even the others at 765Pro didn't get to a less formal name basis until a long while.
At the very least, it was fairly obvious the Silver Queen didn't outright hate or completely distrust him. She made no indication that the freezing body temperature of her companion bothered her, and allowed him to sit as close to her as he wished. She’d rather the only other sign of human life not die from the cold and leave her alone here.]
I'm afraid that you might be searching for that kind of repayment for a long while. There isn’t much that I cannot obtain easily on my own, and the one thing I wish to seek is something not something many can provide for me. [She looks up at the mist-filled sky, a somewhat wistful smile on her face.] However, I do look forward to seeing your attempts at finding something equivalent, if you must insist on finding it. Fufufu…
[Though her head continues to remain raised, her eyes move to once more acknowledge Eichi via her peripheral vision.]
But I will say you are indeed strong and sturdy, Eichi Tenshouin. It is not only physical capabilities that define such, wouldn't you agree? Though we find ourselves in an unknown land, fighting desperately for our lives, you've managed to keep your wits about you. I don't believe many can do the same.
[As for plans, there was something that came to mind once they weren’t in immediate danger. It only took a moment after Eichi mentioning ways of escaping for her to dig for her phone in her dress pocket. Perhaps she could place an emergency call and have home send a helicopter?
… Those hopes are quickly dashed as she gives a puzzled stare at the garbled mess on its screen, tapping several icons to no avail. Did it break during their escape from the ice shark?]
