: I'd invite you to come visit, but there's not a lot to do in Moratov, not unless you like drinking or hockey, anyway.
"Well, I do like drinking-- you know that-- and I've also never been out to a place like Moratov." Cualli thinks about the offer, feeling somewhat conflicted.
On one hand, she really didn't have anything planned except for whatever might come up with Gus. And she thinks of how she's probably going to look like a huge richard for all of their talk earlier only to have to find him to tell him that she won't, in fact, be free during leave, but will instead be off with someone else.
Someone else.
Briefly, Cualli thinks of how Arkhip might react if she and Gus
did get up to something and Arkhip
happened to find out, and the thought fills her with a sense of dread. As much as she likes the thought of catching up with the Mjolnir pilot, Cualli realizes that she's accidentally let herself get into quite the situation.
"Are you sure about inviting me out there?" she asks.
