Arizona was surprised by Bayern's declaration, and the fact that she raised her Klein field to keep Arizona from leaving. Any other Flagship would have been furious at Bayern for her behavior, and keeping their core trapped. They would have yelled, and demand that Bayern released them at once. However, as Arizona looked back at Bayern, She could see the dreadnought was deeply hurt, and sad. Arizona shocked expression softened as she approached the couch that Bayern was curled upon.<br/><br/>Arizona gently sat down, and wrapped her arms around Bayern, and pulled her onto her onto her Lap. Her large breasts pressing into Bayern. Arizona then rested her head on top of Bayerns, and let out a sad sigh. She nuzzled Bayern's hair softly as her hand came up, and stroked the back of her head. Guiding Bayern to lay her head upon Arizona's shoulder. She wanted the dreadnought to be comfortable, and known she was liked. Arizona was silent, and simply held Bayern like a Mother would hold an upset child.<br/><br/>"Bayern. I'm so sorry I upset you. Please forgive me." Arizona whispered warmly into Bay's ear. Arizona knew she made her fleet upset with her cause of her decision, and that hurt more than any damage she had ever taken. It hurt more than when she found out that she no longer had her super gravity cannon. "I'm so sorry that I upset you all." She continued. She wanted the others to hear. She wanted them to understand. "I know you all are angry with me for wanting to do this on my own. I'm Sorry." Arizona stated as she held Bayern, and gently rocked her back, and forth.<br/><br/>"I'm afraid." she finally admitted to everyone. "I'm afraid of what will happen if I don't go. If this Shinano continues to pursue us. Will any of you get hurt? Will any of you...die?" Arizona spoke, her voice breaking. "Shinano has shown that she will not leave us alone, and threatened grievous violence upon my precious fleet should I refuse her again. Those that I care about more than anything in this world. More than the FOG, or that damnable Admiralty Code. I can't lose you, any of you. I don't want to be alone again." Arizona whimpered as she held Bayern tighter, and tighter.
