Time to take a flight.

Her Master was hesitating for some reason. Why? Master was Perfect, as always, so it couldn't be that..."...how much money do you have, Dog?" she shivered at his words.

"I-I handle the finance division at Detnetrat." She blurted out, **** to be useful.

"You... what? How do you have the time... wait, why Detnetrat? "

She blushed "Cuz Detnetrat's a front for the MLA?" She looked up at him. His eyes were wide, and his mouth was open."M-master?"

He blinked. "I'm just going to deal with that later. Anyway, any reason we can't just... book a flight or something?"

Her desperation to be useful made words come from her lips unbidden. "I c-can woozle your parents to let you go!" He stared at her, unblinking. Her voice got quieter."Or I c-could... scam an airport into letting us... through..." She trailed off. He was still staring.

Then he giggled. "I'm sorry, but the miss Nayuta I knew, using the word 'woozle'?" He looked at her a smile. It was a nice smile. "That really cracked me up."

"Anyway, Dog, lets bring you over my place. Lets - heh - woozle my parents into letting us go."
