Sera looked visibly relieved, but still took Lia into her arms and gave her an affectionate hug, holding the smaller but still immensely more powerful woman tight. She nodded in reply to Lia, "yes... it's the<em>Valkyrie</em>, Lia," she said with a slight frown. "Whatever confrontation there was between the boy Tatin and the Ferroan girl left a slight bend in the hull," she continued, "I've run some simulations and it seems at best it will take time and resources to repair when we get back to Korriban, at worst it might affect our aerodynamics once we hit atmosphere."<br/><br/>She looked Lia in the eyes, and managed a small smile, having spent some time observing her lover's meditations, and body, had done much to calm her. Her eyes slowly trailed down the woman's arm to the odd gauntlet, it didn't look particularly good to Sera but she trusted in Lia's knowledge and judgment on the matter. Come whatever, Sera would still do her best to defend Lia. Though to hear herself think that the woman in her arms could ever need protection still sounded somewhat laughable to her, but she meant it truly. After all, for someone who had once prided herself on being independent, she realized just how much she owed Aurelia.
