Lacus Zeref Clyne
"Afraid of me?... Understandable, and a healthy habit around people like me... but you don't have to be. I have no ill will towards you. Still. I will trouble you no more, and wish you luck in the future. Don't forget to warn whoever else might suffer from these men. Farewell."
Lacus put on her black cloak's hood, turning to leave. As she did, she spoke to the bard girl with her.
"I'm going to have to leave this town fairly soon. My presence here would only draw unwanted people attracted to the magic I practice and the power I hold. I only came here temporarily anyway..."
She looked at the girl, and the piplup:
"What are you two going to do? ...Where will you be going after this?"

Marika simply smiles. "I wish to continue traveling with you... I know it will be dangerous, but I'm no stranger to that. I mean I was trained to be a soldier, and lived in the land of Nirn for a few years. I'm used to my life being on the line."
"Piplup Pip Piplup!" It cheeres hugging your leg cutely.

"That... is nice of you both", Lacus said, smiling at the Piplup and back to Marika, "...but... my principal means of transportation has... only one seat. I mean, I could easily bring Piplup along, but... do you have a vehicle of any kind?", she asked Marika, trying to find a solution.

"Well I do have a small car. It's not much, but at least it runs." She points out.

"Hm. Maybe we can make this work, somehow. Perhaps I could modify your car, or literally bring your car along with my own vehicle or something."
Not wanting to leave the girl in the dark (besides, if she was going to travel with her, she'd know), she decided to tell her about her 'vehicle'.
"You see... my vehicle, is actually a... Mobile Suit. Have you ever heard that name before?"

"Not... really." Marika says. "Is it something like a Knightmare Frame?"

"Maybe", Lacus said as she picked the Piplup up in her arms, and petted him with her other hand. "What's a Knightmare Frame?"

"It's a mecha about 20 feet tall. In my world they are the main weapons of every army in the world. Every Britannian soldier is trained to pilot one." She said.

Lacus Zeref Clyne
Lacus nodded:
"...Hmmm... yes, definitely similar. Picture a Mecha three times that size with wings, reddish-pink in color. In its... original time, it is only slightly taller than average Mobile Suits... but as a Gundam, it is greatly superior to standard units. I'm far from the best pilot I know, but I can hold my own, especially since... well, since I came here first", Lacus explained somewhat distractedly. "I'm just wondering if I can find a way to bring you along without having you drive the whole way... redesigning it to allow for a passenger would take some work, time and materials. I'm not sure I have much of the latter, I'm afraid. Too bad you weren't in a Knightmare Frame when you cam here. Bah... I'm sure we'll figure something out."

"alright." Marika says. "I'm sorry. I must feel like a burden to you now."

"Nonsense", Lacus replied playfully. "Sorry if I made you feel that way, but you're missing the point why I'm having trouble with this in the first place. I could actually cast a spell and take care of this in an instant. It's just... there's a part of me which needs to learn to not rely on magic too easily as the answer to all problems. It makes one forget about the value of non-mages, and that is something I do not want to forget", she explained. "I'm hoping to find a solution which does not involve magic if I can."

"Okay." Marika says. "Thanks." She says as you walk out of town together. "I'll go get my car, where should I meet you two?"

Lacus quickly and simply explained the location of her Mobile Suit, beyond the beach, in the largest patch of forest and trees seen from there.
"Just meet me there, and we'll see what are our options for moving around efficiently, at least for now", she said with a smile.

You arrive at your mobile suit, going to check on it as Piplup looks on in awe. Marika's small red Volkswagon Beetle rolls in about 10 minutes later.

Lacus Zeref Clyne
The cockpit still open, Lacus was cleaning the inside up a bit, and making sure everything was operational, noticing Piplup's amazed expression, on the ground. She winked at it, smiling:
"Pretty big, huh? The most amazing part is how fast and agile it is despite that. Trust me on this. So... you like it?"
When she saw Marika's car showing up, she waved her hand at her, the smile still on her lips, waiting for her to park and get out of the car, eager to know what she thought about it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6 stones into Technology (Repair/maintenance, Mobile suits) plus 3 from PCPT to perform a good clean up of the cockpit's interior.
