I feel like no matter how much he thinks he hates her, I can't see him being in a hurry to leave. Oh yeah, what exactly is he going to feel when he meets her for the first time? I can imagine them meeting, not knowing for sure that it's the other, and the first time they step into a room and see each other.... oh boy. Okay quick context. Vi and her brother are running away from home and this woman, Elia, offers to escort them to a hotel. On the way, Elia encounters some thugs looking for her, and to make an escape, she drags the siblings onto her spaceship and off they go. The siblings have nowhere else to go, so Elia takes them in for the time being. And if they're going to live on her spaceship, they're eventually gonna have to learn how to do spaceship things. And long skirts are really impractical for spaceship things. So Elia nixes long skirts (to Violeta's dismay). Oooooh yeah. That was a really clever backstory.
