--- Nixilei ---
The pair got over their embarrassment quickly, but things remained awkward, thought for different reasons. It turned out that the suit stopped taking mana once Nixilei's arms had been removed from the sleeves. The problem now was what to do with it. For a few seconds the sleeves were just flapping about in the wind, but Nixilei was able to catch them before they hit Asteodia in the face, this time.
Nixilei tied the sleeves together after that and held them behind her back against the side of the cockpit. It wasn't exactly comfortable, but it did keep them from being a problem. No what made things awkward was that Nixilei still had her helmet on. There just wasn't anywhere to put it. There was barely any space down near their feet, and trying to squeeze it down there would likely stop the gears from turning fully.
