[LUMIA CIPHER.]

It was sort of ironic that Requiem considered Lumia to be a child, considering she acted more mature than many adults within The Typhoon did. Not to mention the fact that she was very nearly an adult anyways. Even if the owl had voiced these thoughts, though, Mia would have let them slip harmlessly over her without much fuss. The feline knew full well that she had earned her position as a privateer fair and square, and she had every intention of fulfilling the duties expected of her. First on the to do list? Get back her niece and one of her best friends, for one. Still, she needed to wait to do that for now – once the call of battle had been put out, then she'd get them back. Make sure they were safe.

Her thoughts were drifting, though, and that was made obvious enough when she was brought back to reality by Requiem's query. News, huh? Well... she didn't quite know when the other had been here and when she hadn't been, so she couldn't fill her in on everything. Best just to tell her the most recent stuff, then. After tapping a paw against her muzzle in thought, Lumia answered with a shrug, "Lately? Quite a few things have happened lately. Captain Roxanne was attacked, although we're not sure by who. Vayne and Danny were both captured by the Coalition, but we're planning on going to get them back very soon. Speaking of... Alexandre hasn't been around much lately, either. Although I'm not sure he was taken by the Coalition. I remember Roan mentioning he had just... disappeared. I'm hoping he's safe, wherever he is..." Perhaps he had been taken, like the rest? She supposed it wasn't impossible for the Coalition to make a kidnapping look like a relatively normal leaving, but she didn't see why they would go through the effort. They hadn't exactly been subtle about capturing Danny, or Vayne.
