The next leg of their tour is the European section - there aren't as many cities that were directly affected by the kaiju here, though the people seem no less effusive in their enthusiasm. Mako is at an equal disadvantage when it comes to the talk shows - her languages are better, perhaps, than Raleigh's, but she doesn't possess complete fluency in this particular part of the world.

She has a hard time considering a situation where their positions would be reversed, but she's learned never to rule anything out about herself when it comes to her co-pilot.

But she slips off her own shoes and curls in, back nestled against his chest.

Raleigh's nose grazes Mako's hair and when he stills to heavy, solid breaths, he manages to not snore at all.
