Gertrude stood on the pressured air platform above the cliff, gripping steelethrone tightly and with ragna on her right wrist. She looked over to Jie, who stood in awe at the beautiful forest below them. Jie quickly snapped out of her partial trance and pulled out Lotus Pin from their sheathed, pulling back the safety pins and twirling them from time to time. Gertrude cocked Steelethrone one more time and held it tightly. She was ready, and looked over to Jie once more. 'Father... Wish me luck...' She thought, staring off into the green abyss below the group.

Jie smiled as she gripped Lotus Pins tightly. She was patient, yet excited. She was excited for her and gertrude to be partners. 'And even if we aren't partners, we'll still be friends.' Jie thought, readying herself on the pressured platform. 'My honour and Patience guide me...' Jie muttered 'And May I represent my Family with said Honour and Patience.'
