After the party came to an end, Aurelia departed from the Bluejay Fleet the next day.
She departed with hugs and tearful farewells from the rest of her immediate families.
Even the cats would miss her presence!
"Meow!"
"Miaow…"
"I would bring one of you with me if I could, but the naval academies maintain a strict no-pet policy." Aurelia said as she scratched both cats behind the ears.
She would not be departing alone.
Standing by her side was Marigold Larkinson, who looked like a pale, dark-haired girl who could convincingly play the role of Aurelia's sister.
She still wore a silky black robe and garment that exuded both elegance and playfulness. The minimal golden accents and the colorful pattern of cats marked her connection to the Larkinsons without being too blatant and direct.
The naval academies employed a strict policy of not letting in any extraneous personnel.
