Okay, she may have to bite the bullet and just... "Hello, anyone know where I might find Takashi Shirogane?"

There was a picture of Shiro up on the wall in the Garrison, understandably so. Melenor had been allowed to sit in front of it in memory of her father on this special day. She missed her parents so much.

Her ears are burning~

Hey Keith, long time no see.

No, Dad. Coran and I were safe and comfortable the whole trip.

Tucks hair behind her ear. "Oh, Keithy?"

Hands behind her back she bit her bottom lip. "You feel like showing me around?"

"Spoil sport."

She took a seat at the Pilots Heaven bar and ordered a mocktail, eyes scanning the room she kept her head down in case someone recognised her. She shouldn't be here, hell, if Coran found out she slipped away Mel would never be trusted alone again.

She's /fine./ No men are looking at her.

FInishing her drink she stood up and moved to leave. A few heads from a booth nearby turned to look at her as she headed for the door, but she ignored them.

Father had no control over how long he stayed on New Altea. Coran would not let him see me.

Um... Did I just...?

Oh, for fuc— I am not dealing with an alternate universe mother. Considering mine is dead, I’m not doing all that again.

Looking at the information she had been given she knocked on the door and sighed. She *hoped* Shiro was home alone, Hoshiko not included.

She's been pacing up and down for hours, overthinking /everything/ from the past week or so. Should she disapear? Go back to New Altea and stay under Coran's strange version of fatherhood? Should she have never come looking for her father?
