The journey was going to be long and Mihael had nothing to do in reality.
However, he did now have other plans.
Namely, how to actually pass the time.
He could play offline games, disconnected from the warpnet.
He could chat with the crew or do something with them.
Or-
"Hah!"
He could just spar with Xovia.
"To think you were so lonely without me," she grinned.
"…"
He didn't really have any clever comebacks.
And he didn't want one either.
He just wanted to pass the time.
And despite what Xovia said out loud, she never declined a chance to spar.
In fact, she was also eager, but for very different reasons.
"Woah-" Mihael almost fell over but before he could properly reposition himself, Xoiva was already in front of him- "My win."
A faint grin. "Yes."
Xovia turned, almost squeaked in excitement but held it all in. "Alright then, later." And was gone.
