Alicia was not surprised by Ronin and Miko insisting that they come with. To some degree she had expected it, but she did not want to assume that they would continue on if there was something that they dearly wanted to protect back here in Penrose. So she did not dissent in the face of their resolve. [color=aba000]"Alright,"[/color] she agreed. [color=aba000]"The fastest way to keep Penrose safe is to take out the Queen anyways."[/color] Presumably without her to maintain her mind control the soldiers here would be a lot easier to deal with.

There was no disagreement from Rachel either, so it seemed that a decision had been made. Alicia was about to text Kimble when just as suddenly she appeared in the room. "Oof!" Alicia let out a small grunt as she was hugged slash tackled by her girlfriend.  "Hey Kimble," she replied after a moment, once she had regained her balance. at the same time she hugged Kimble back, returning the affection directed her way.

Unfortunately there simply wasn't the time to indulge in that sort of thing, not while Penrose was actively being invaded. [color=aba000]"Of course, I trust you. Just don't actually go try and solo the army by yourself. ,"[/color] she said as Kimble asked for the opportunity to defend Penrose while they were busy fighting the Queen. Luckily it sounded like Kimble already had some ideas in that regard.
 
With that Alicia looked back to Rachel. She was ready to go, as ready as she could be now that she'd had the chance to talk to Kimble.
