Spoiler for More Changes:
"Hmm..." A woman with long green hair stared at the monitor in front of her. "Dangerous games these children play."
"M...Mother!" A young boy with blue hair by her gasped in shock. "How can you say that?"
The woman turned to her son and smiled. "Because I don't think either of them are trying to hurt each other. It would be nice if they were just trying to collect the Jewel Seeds and got a little too competitive with each other. Besides, they are cute, ne?" She winked and held up a finger, causing the boy to look away as his face turned red.
A girl with brown hair turned to the woman and gave her a look that bordered between exhasperated and irritated. "Admiral, wouldn't it be a better idea to get the Jewel Seeds ourselves?"
The Admiral turned to her and nodded. "Oh, it would, I admit, but we have no idea just how much damage the Jewel Seeds have done." She looked at a new video window. "Well, it seems that they've started fighting again. Chrono, perhaps you should go down there and see if they'll be willing to listen to us."
"Of course." The boy bowed his head and walked off to a tube at the back of the room.
"Oh, and Chrono..."
"Huh?" He looked at his mother as she grinned in a way that had him tremble slightly with worry.
"Do try to be diplomatic in this situation. I'd hate to have a fight start due to a misunderstanding again."
The boy's face flushed. "That wasn't my fault." Really, it wasn't. How was he supposed to know that accidentally knocking over a house of cards was considered a criminal offense on that last world?
She giggled at him and nodded. "Of course, good luck, dear."
After watching Chrono disappear, the girl turned to the woman. "Admiral Lindy, was that really neccessary?"
Lindy smiled at the girl. "Amy, sometimes it helps to be constantly reminded of small failures. It helps us avoid big ones in the future."
"So..." Amy's face took on an annoyed bent at that point. "Why bring up that those girls were cute to Chrono?" Sure, she was a couple years older than Chrono was, but she still liked him. Now if only he'd stop being so stiff and formal all the time.
Lindy shrugged as she watched Chrono interrupt the fight between the two girls. "To be honest, I just want him to interact with more people close to his age. It's not good to be around adults all the time, even if one of them is just a teenager." She winked at Amy, who just shook her head and looked back at the screen. "Well, that was a bit unexpected." She hadn't expected the redheaded familiar to attack her son like that. "Amy, can you track them?"
"Already on it, ma'am." Amy's hands flew over the keyboard in front of her before she grimaced and sighed. "I'm sorry, but they did multiple teleports in quick succession, tracing them would take so long that by the time we caught up with them..." She trailed off, disappointed.
Lindy shook her head. "No, it's okay. No one's perfect after all." She smiled as it looked like Chrono was able to talk the other girl into at least coming on board. "At the very least, we should be able to find out what's been going on on this planet."
Amy nodded, though, deep down, she wondered who was going to get in trouble for what was going on. Non-Administered worlds just didn't have powerful mages laying around after all, and Lost Logias didn't just pop up on those worlds either.
So, why were two mages of such power actually fighting on the planet?
Um... Sorry that it's basically canon again.
