[She thinks she understands. Palamedes and Camilla... they have a kind of love that neither has ever attempted to explain to her, but she's sure that it's the same kind. When Palamedes had her kiss Camilla's hand and say it was from him, it was the first time she'd seen Camilla's cool demeanor slip.
She knows that Palamedes died, and only returned because he really wanted to see her again.
She nods, understanding to the degree that she understands anything.] You love him. [She doesn't actually mean this in a strictly romantic sense.]
Promises are important. Breaking a promise means you get fired from Hot Sauce's gang back home, so I understand.
[ Lacus is not going to argue that description. She does love Kira, and she owes him everything. Their connection can't be severed anymore, and even despite all the guilt she feels towards him, this gives her comfort. ]
... that's a cute nickname.
[ Before addressing anything else, she's giving her approval there. ]
I want you to get home to your friends [ gang? ] at home as well. Do you have an idea of how we would help each other with this?
[Yes, a nickname. That's definitely what that was.]
...I'm not sure yet.
I don't think we can swim. I can't fly a spaceship. Maybe Raptor knows. [Not Ho-oh apparently, she's decided Raptor is more trustworthy.] But he won't tell us. At least not yet.
But no matter what happens I'm going to keep trying.
If we had a spaceship available, I would be capable of giving instructions as to how to man each position on the bridge.
[ They don't have one and Lacus doesn't foresee the possibility, but... it'd work, if so. It'd be kind of nice, even. ]
Rapt0r is quite forward as a person. Talking to him is interesting - I don't believe he's consciously trying to lead us astray at least. Have you also chatted with him?
Mostly about Pokemon. He doesn't like nice things, I think he's probably pretty fragile and is cruel as a result of that. But I like him. It's harder to understand him when I can't see him.
[Oh, that reminds her. She takes a drawing she drew early in the week out of her bag and shakes it before presenting it to Lacus.]
I did draw a Raptor, though. [It's a photorealistic drawing of a raptor, with detail and shading that a professional artist couldn't hope to match. She's never seen a Raptor before in her life.] I thought maybe it would help me understand but it didn't.
[ That is... Lacus is not sure what this is, because 'impressive' doesn't seem to cut it. Lacus has to take a moment to look at it up close and admire the the work. Coordinators are designed to be more skilled than normal humans, but even in Coordinator society art skill on this levels would be considered very rare. ]
My... you're amazingly skilled at drawing!
[ That also feels like the understatement of the century. ]
I wonder why he chose the raptor as his namesake... Though I imagine it was because they were such deadly creatures? He seems to pride himself on his destructiveness.

In fact, I promise to help you, Little Lake.

Thanks, I think I did a pretty good job. I think this is what a raptor looks like anyway.
[Moomin right along.]
Maybe he just likes velociraptors as well. They dine on flesh and blood.
