"I know you will."

"Already trust my aesthetic sense that much?"

"You've given some compelling arguments."

"That was an important part of law school."

"Magic space law school?"

"Got it in one."

"I'm going to assume that's at least three times as impressive as boring Earth law school."

"Several times more than that, if you're calling it boring."

"All right, then."

"Convinced already?"

"It's easy to believe the words of a pretty girl, spoken with sincerity."

Preen!

"That'll get you in trouble, some day."

"As long as it's not today."

"Not just yet."

"Perfect."

Kiss.

Kiss!!!

So. Navigation?

Navigation! 

First they have to decide where they're going, then enter the coordinates - Villanelle has a massive index of coordinates for destinations she's been before and for overall common destinations, as well as ones she's heard of. Coordinates have to be entered by type of plane (kind of like a universe), then precise plane, then regions within that... Villanelle gives Ellie a location name to look up and walks her through through all this. 

Then, syncing with Serenity - multiple double checks - then pouring power into the system.

Here goes.

Magic surges around her, and Serenity blazes brightly, the lights picked up in the paper walls - the panels all change, showing the world around them as the ship lifts away from the Earth and into the dark of space, unbelievably rapidly especially for how smooth the rise is.

"Good job," she murmurs, and has Ellie pause just beyond the orbit of the moon to double check the air envelope and vacuum-systems before they jump (and to admire the view, if she wants).

(Even that first push is exhausting.)

Yeah. She could use the break, if nothing else.

"Might be best for me to handle getting us into and through the Astral Sea - it's a lot more tiring, and things can go wrong quickly."

"Mm. Wouldn't want to get shipwrecked on my first voyage."

"We'll work you up to it." Kiss!
