If they're so strong, why sent us for that draft, huh? It doesn't really make sense, when you think about it... Ah~ but neither does taking Mikado, now does it...

[generalflirt]

I know. [Flatly.

And now opening the door...]

[falenandawn]

.......Take care of yourself. [Awkward conversation is awkward. Kida doesn't seem to want to talk about it...] ...I'll make dinner. [Please come back. ;; ]
