A thin smile with just a hint of quilt spread across the face of Mira as the words of her companion registered within her ears. She knew she had pestered Lila more than pretty much anyone since she had first learned of her existence and her vast knowledge of the No Man’s Land and the possible treasures it hid within its depths - but what could she have done? She had always felt an urge to understand everything about her newest obsession.


“Well now,” Mira spoke, choosing deliberately to ignore the sharp comment from Lila, “the tale of… What should I call it? Ah, yes, let’s call it ‘The Tale of how the CMAS decided to ruin everything and yours truly had to save everyone in here’ - that sounds about right, doesn’t it?” Mira joked, something that even surprised herself as she wasn’t one to throw around as many jokes as she had done in the last half an hour. Perhaps she had really missed her ‘friend’?
Turning a corner onto a section of the caves that took them deeper underground she continued her explanation of the current events. “In all honesty I am not entirely certain how it started, I just sort of minded my own business - you know how I am,” Mira added before continuing in a dry tone, “but somehow those dredged CMAS-agents somehow figured out where our ‘Paradise’ were located and decided to improve the view by cracking our ceiling as you saw back there,” motioning with her thumb back towards the general location of the room they had just been in. 

“As you can see we did manage to repel them, but we sustained quite a large loss to do so: many of the pillars and interior of this place have suffered scars from the battle, and I cannot even begin to imagine how many Divers sacrificed their lives or got hurt in the mess - the need for medical knowledge and help is probably off the chart” Mira added, “but, as you might suspect: I am completely unharmed!”


Mira winked playfully at Lila before moving out of the way to let a few Divers past her, it was something she had begun to do unconsciously at this stage, but when she first arrived at the Paradise she certainly wasn’t such a natural at dodging people. Having returned to her old position next to Lila she continued with her tale.


“As you’ve probably realized it was quite a mess to be a part of…” Mira spoke in a hollow tone as she finished her tale, “but anyway, What about you? Where have you been? Have you found something exciting in the No Man’s Land that I shou-”


But before Mira could ask into the deeper details of Lila’s trip something stopped her in her step.


“Urgh…” Mira groaned under her own breath as they turned the last corner and were now standing only a few strides from the White Horse. The reason for her sudden outburst of annoyance would be clear to anyone: the establishment was filled to the brim with other Divers, all of whom had likely seeked a place of peace and liquor enough to quench their thirst after the battle. They would be lucky to get a place to settle in that crowd.
