At the top would be the hand-off. At the top, if he could help it, were answers. They'd more than earned that much.
At this point, it could be all their own feelings. Naoto always had a hard time letting go so she wouldn't be surprised.
With Kanji pulled away, she leaned against his arm again as Zaiten began taken them up, both her hands again wrapping around her hatchling. Soon they would say goodbye, ask their questions, and take their time to leave. Maybe they could come back, maybe they would be disavowed from for a period of time; either way, she would be going back with him... and they would finish their paper work to move into their new residence.
No matter what, they'd be together and get through this.
