Musubi, in stark contrast to that, had very much been a girly girl growing up - hell, the fact that she was enrolled in, and enjoyed,<em>ballet</em>of all things should have been at least a very strong indicator of that.  But, she had been through a bit of a trauma just as Elisabeth had - though rather than the death of her mother, it was her own emergence as a Technomancer that had changed everything in her life.  And, perhaps surprisingly, Project Supercharge hadn't done anything to drive into her the fear of being pregnant and having a kid.  It had just reinforced her desire for freedom, that she wanted to have one on<em>her</em>terms, not because someone else told her that that was what she would do - fostering defiance and free will rather than fear.<br/><br/><"Ah...">  Musubi realized what she'd offered and backed off a little bit.  <"Well...I mean, it's only right, right?">  Elisabeth was doing her a big favor, trying to get the hunters and MCT off of her back so that she could go on and live a normal life and not have to hide in the shadows for the rest of eternity.  And the catgirl had been brought up to always try and repay the favors granted to you.<br/><br/><"We're still a long ways away on both, I think.">  Miko wasn't going to be retiring, at least not until the whole business with herself was resolved and taken care of.  And they might end up there together...the image of herself and Elisabeth, standing side by side, stomachs full and heavy, briefly forced itself into coherence.
