This really is an impressive device. Everything inside of the drill is finely crafted, except for the shambles of a ruined tea corner, covered in broken porcelain and dog hair. You've managed to fit your army inside, and are homing in on Eupheria's location, using Hornet's strange homing device. It repeatedly pings as an arcing line sweeps across its face.

"You'll have to tell me when to stop," Princess Hornet says, though in the larger sense, you have no such intentions to stop her chaos. She is your new secret weapon. You will use her to attract Eupheria's attention, along with your young successor.

"Adila," you say, scritching her behind her ear. "I would like for you to spearhead the assault on Eupheria, and your partner will be Princess Hornet of Hobling Keep." You quietly ignore the fact that she is draped over the satyrian Felorian princess. She is a member of the Watch. She knows her role is to carry out your own orders.

"Good girl."[/quote]

It means a [i]lot[/i] to hear that.

For everything that is - and [i]isn't[/i] - going on inside her turbulent head right now, she's still having difficulty thinking and projecting specific thoughts. She's struggling with a curse that's already so far gone she's looking at Hornet's pinging line thing with a guilty fascination even though she's finally managed to suppress the urge to pounce and lick it. She wouldn't be sure if she could hold all this together if she was at full capacity, let alone [i]leading[/i] an [i]attack[/i] alongside [i]Princess Hornet[/i] -

But then she gets told that she's a good girl by the First Princess of the Watch, by the [b]Captain's[/b] [i]superior officer[/i], and suddenly everything just... calms down a bit. Okay. She's got this. She can focus. She's a good girl, after all. It's been proven.

+As you command, my Princess,+ thought Princess Adila, finding coherence in protocol. +Princess Hornet, could you please translate what this pinging line thing is saying for me. Further, if it is possible to make it look less like a laser dot that will cut down the instances of me trying to lick it.+
