Sharing this type of information was usually reserved for Miles or close friends; at the same time, Amelina didn't mind being so open and honest, especially since Altura had asked out of genuine interest and not to gain favour points. Besides, it was only natural given the trajectory of their conversation, and she could see his sincerity and concern reflected in the change of posture. When Altura spoke, with the same gentleness as before, the newly graduated Middie returned the gesture by sharing how her words had hit close to home for him, and why. She was glad to hear that he'd been able to re-establish that connection with his parents, and yes, she had suffered an enormous loss at an early age, but that didn't make her feel anything but gratitude, rather than bitterness or jealousy, just because Altura still had both parents.
" I'm happy to have shared it with you, and I'm glad that you were able to reconnect with them. Being apart from them when you get your assignment will be hard, but all I can offer is for you to make the most of every opportunity, and then you'll have so much to tell them when you get to speak to them, and while subspace calls aren't quite the same, it's such a lifeline even if you don't realise how much you need it".
Amelina learned that from the very start of her time on the Hera, and that practice continued to this day, when Miles was aboard Artemis, and whenever she wanted to speak to her Dad, Uncle and Mentor.
Altura continued, his words ringing true for Lina, and by the time he finished, she couldn't help but be moved, especially with the compliment he had given her.
" Thank you, that really means a lot to me, because it is a heavy burden, but one I carry knowing I'm doing the best I can, and teaching for me is a passion, as I'm giving back, passing on what I know, even if that isn't part of the curriculum. I'm honoured to have been your Instructor, and I know you'll do me proud, as have the other Cadets, who've gone on to great things".
She might not be a mother yet, but in some ways, she was seen as either a mother figure or a sibling when it came to guiding her students through their Academy journey, and Altura was now included in that.
