Mackie stared at her. "You helped save my life, and you're paying us?"
Kohran grinned. "Saving lives is just the right thing to do. Getting to ride that bike was a thrill. You gotta learn the difference between what's important and what's fun."

{foo} cleared [his/her] throat. "Could you get Stellvia to help pay for the damages?"
Kohran shook her head. "I'm not with StellviaCorp any more. But even if I was, think about this: Stellvia takes care of its own, and Stellvia takes care of its own. If Dad was to pay off the claims, Dad would insist on punishing Mackie. Would Jet or Ford let him do that? ... I didn't think so."

the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
