--Yes, mm... Miss Esther has come quite a ways from when we first met a few years ago! She really is something else... But the fate of Albion and its relation to the other world powers are in her good hands, and if anyone can help begin to work to make peace on behalf of the terrans... I truly believe it's her.
[ truthfully, Abel could not have asked for a better ally to come into such power; Esther and her beliefs had been destined for greatness from the very beginning, but to see the length of her journey taking her to such heights... it was surreal, amazing. he is so proud of her and has the utmost faith in her battle from here on out.
even if, admittedly, he is sad it means their ways truly had to part this time.
...Abel lightly prods at his glasses again, casting his thoughts to the royalty of Himeka's home beneath the sea. 'Ruby Princess;' it certainly sounds fancy, doesn't it? he can see there is something complicated in her relationship with this person - and he is taking it in for a moment before he finally decides on what to say. ]

Abel realizes he knows so little about what her daily life was like, never mind what it might be like in places she went to rest her wearied head for some relaxation between it all. ]
