"C'mon Kaitlyn! Lemme go! Just five minutes with her alone! Pleeeeaaaaase?"

Flan would be anything but freaked out. She'd probably be giggling hysterically at the sight, while passively musing over what Azalyn would taste like. (Not to say that Flan would do it without asking first. And knowing Azalyn, she probably wouldn't mind at all, as long as it was just a little taste.)

Ah yes. She is quite the force of nature, isn't she?

Hah. Someone could give her the epithets of Vash the Stampede and it'd fit perfectly.

Mio The Stampede, The Humanoid Typhoon.

Oh, for certain. The really interesting part there is that while they could be armed, they had to do so in a way that the weapon is not readily visible on their person. Although picking up a readily available weapon was just fine.

In this case, it probably didn't take very long for the Brass to make sure there was at least one Fusonese witch with officer training at each JSF squadron. :)

Pffft. Oh man. She would become a fan of Monty Python and the Flying Circus, wouldn't she?
