Her bag over her shoulder, Estella exited the shop and nearly ran into Rebeca. "Oh 'ello." She blinked surprised. She hadn't expected to see the other girl again. A smile formed as the surprise waned. It was always nice to see a familiar face. "Yes, time to move on. London's great but..." How should she put it? The city seemed to grow? The longer she stayed in a place the more crushed and oppressed she felt? Most didn't understand it. Most couldn't comprehend that she couldn't stay somewhere for long - especially a city. One of the reasons she had tried the [i]Aurora[/i] was so she could travel while working. The situation hadn't worked out but the concept would be fun.

She contemplated the phrase: Greener pastures. For just the brief moment she wondered what pastures had to do with anything. However, the context that Rebeca used gave her enough clue of what the idiom meant. She shrugged. "Actually, I haven't decided where I'm going yet." She probably would have to find a ship, train, or something to work her way to another location. The offer itself was a bit surprising. They barely knew her. It almost felt a bit like home growing up. People took care of each other and strangers. gemilut hasadim was a major part of her heritage. It was mitzvah - commandment. But after leaving, she hadn't seen it much outside. There were a few but it was also rare. The fact that Rebeca seemed to offer it was touching.

"You didn't come all this way to offer me a ride?" She raised an eyebrow, giving a slight smile. There was no way that she would have known. Estella hadn't even decided until last night on her walk home. The smile faded. "Let me guess, you need a lot more parts." She should have known. She didn't like to put others down but the fact the mechanic hadn't even [i]bothered[/i] to verify they needed more parts before sending Rebeca yesterday didn't put him high on her list of bright individuals. She quickly rebuked herself. She was jumping to conclusions. He probably had checked everything out before sending Rebeca. Maybe this was unrelated. Though, if that was the case, why was Rebeca here?

Roger nodded. "You're right. Probably nothing. Though, this trip might cause them to look deeper in it. Hopefully not though. We've been out before. If anything, last summer would have been more suspicious." He didn't note that on a trip, it would be harder to tell if someone was watching them. Here in London, when you only go so many places you see a lot of the same. The ones that stand out are a lot less percentage-wise. But in a new place, everyone is a stranger. They'd have to be extra vigilant.

Reaching the airship, Roger led Bea aboard, finding Will on the bridge. Having already dropped everything off last night, they had been informed to come aboard when they arrived, so he wasn't worried about 'wondering'. The captain did not look pleased this morning. Shaking his hand, Roger raised an eyebrow. "Problems?" He inquired.

He wondered if someone had broken into the ship to go through the positions. Had someone tried to sabotage it? A million different scenarios ran through his mind as he worried that their mission had been leaked. He calmed himself knowing it had nothing to do with it. Or he hoped.
