[This, with some trademark faint amusement, accompanied by a head-tip at the fact that Raine even feels the need to ask.]
Even in orbit, it would eventually circle close enough to Aselia to use the warp. But Mithos was piloting it directly -- we've taken back control, and can return at any time. We did manage to moor it to Aselia the first time, remember.
[The difficulty had been getting to Derris-Kharlan before it was too far away to retrieve; and that was why the situation had been slightly urgent. A few weeks had been the most Kratos could spare, even with the engines turned off after Mithos's defeat, even with that unique gravitational force of new mana which had very nearly brought it back to earth. Inertia existed even in space.]
Besides, I promised I'd bring him some minerals from other worlds.
[This is tacked on at the end, as if it's the most important reason for him to return at all, and not just because Aselia is his home.]
