By the time their conversation was over, they had already arrived at the White Deer mansion.
Noelle coughed as she saw Michelle 'help' Emilia out of the car while Crystal gave her a weird look. "Well, I'll go take care of the other things first. Let me know if anything comes up, alright?"
Emilia just smiled and waved at her. "Please drop Dixie off on your way back, then."
Since Dixie had already agreed with her orders, she could only sulk in her mind and reluctantly wave goodbye. "See you tomorrow?"
Emilia leaned down to kiss her on the cheek. "Be careful over the next few days, just in case."
Dixie nodded seriously. "Don't worry. You take care as well, Emily. And call me as soon as you need anything, alright?"
The redhead grinned, her eyes a little hazy. "Of course, byebye, then."
Crystal could tell that Emilia's mind was 'elsewhere', though she couldn't really tell what the girl was thinking.
