“Bailey. Who are you?”
“general maka, aka this ship.” She replied as her hologram takes a shape similar to Celica but taller and her hair down
“One of the sisters I presume.”
“yep,” she said cheerfully
Zablex kept quiet.
“and you?” She asked walking through zablex
“I am Zablex; an adoptive great grandfather to Celica and am also the adoptive grandfather of the younger Bailey.” He says calmly.
“huh, you don’t look old”
“I am cursed; I look like a skeleton in the moonlight.” He says, taking off his hood.
She shrugged, not really caring, “and how do I know neither of you have done something to Celica?”
“I would never harm anyone in my family unless they became an irredeemable enemy, you have my oath upon the River Styx to confirm that.” He says. Upon finishing that statement, an odd rumbling of thunder is heard as if confirming his oath.
“…what does the mythical river of the dead have to do with anything?”
“The oath I made is among the most binding I know of.” He says, looking for some patch of moonlight.
Due to their position there was none. “And how do I know you didn’t tamper with her before she was family?”
“You have only my word, her father’s and her’s to go off of.” He says, unable to think of any proof to counter her question. (@BrokenAxels, jump in anytime you feel like)
“Simple. I’m not that kind of person. Mk2 was my friend. She…She did something . I took the responsibility to help her.”
“I don’t trust either of you, no self respecting ship would enter her condition.” Said maka angrily
“From what I understand, each of you are unique individuals with free will. She made the choice of her own free volition; all we can do is respect it, even if we disagree with it.” Zablex says.
“And I understand that you don’t trust me; why would you trust me?” He whispers under his breath, a pained tone in his voice.
She was taken aback, mother had taught them pride above all else, even considering the possibility was abhorrent to her.

OOC: so they have the pride of Saiyans? That could easily become their downfall of that is the case.
IC: Zablex says nothing, but lets the silence give Maka time to let his words sink in.
