And besides…that…

[Chie, sweetie, you’re sounding like a broken record.]

Is she a trainer? Is she in the Swords with you?

[footprints_on_your_face]

[Chie shakes her head, leaning back.]

She only has a Fletchling and a Skiddo, but she doesn't really train with them or anything. She's teaching the Fletchling to sing, and she just rides on the Skiddo. She's a member of an idol group, so she spends a lot of time doing that kind of stuff.

[frozenflame]

Then maybe it's for the best. So you can find someone you're more compatible with.

[She totally read that in a book.]

[footprints_on_your_face]

Probably, yeah. I guess it's better to find out early, huh?

[frozenflame]

Well...it's better than having it happen after you've done something irreversible.

[footprints_on_your_face]

Something irreversible?

[frozenflame]

Marriage...or something, I dunno. You got out before things could get really, really serious, I guess.

[footprints_on_your_face]

Yeah, we're both way too young for that.

[frozenflame]

Yeah...but if you had kept dating a few years...

[Derp...]

[footprints_on_your_face]

Well, I guess I don't have to worry about that now.

[frozenflame]

Nope. And I think that's a positive. Seriously. How rough would that be? Till death do you part...with someone who you can only kiss and walk on the beach with.

[footprints_on_your_face]

There's definitely worse marriages than that out there. But yeah, I know what you mean.

[frozenflame]

Exactly. See, you dodged a bullet seed.

[She reaches over and squeezes Chie on the shoulder.]

But I am sorry, that it happened.

[footprints_on_your_face]

It's okay. Maybe I'll find someone with more compatible interests, who knows.

[frozenflame]

I'm sure you will. There are lots of magikarp in the sea, after all.

Heh...it's funny though. I'd never have guessed she'd be the one leaving. You're kind of incredible, so it's her loss either way.

[footprints_on_your_face]

I don't think I'm really anything all that special, but thanks, Yukiko.

[frozenflame]

Hey now, I'm not just saying that. You're special to me. And you're special to everyone in Union. You're strong and brave. Like a fighting princess. Who...throws around magic ice.

[She...didn't think this analogy through well.]

[footprints_on_your_face]

That one kind of fell apart on you halfway, didn't it?

[frozenflame]

Yes. But...you're still a fighting princess.

[She got that part right!]

[footprints_on_your_face]

Yeah... maybe I can be a princess for a while.

[frozenflame]

Just...don't get kidnapped by any dragons, okay? I don't have a Fairy type yet, and I doubt Teddie is really capable of setting anyone free.

[footprints_on_your_face]

It's okay, I can deal with dragons.

[Chie grins, flexing her arm and grinning.]

Ice type, remember?

[frozenflame]

Oh! Right! Then I guess you can rescue yourself. Until you run into a Fire and Psychic or something. There aren't any dragons like that though...

[She's totally losing herself in a fantastic story now.]

So I guess that means...you get to be the paladin or something. A crusader of icy justice.

[footprints_on_your_face]

So a brave knight? I can get behind that.

[She was worried Yukiko was going to go toward the 'prince' angle. That's what Maki used to call her, so she wants to stay away from that one right now.]

[frozenflame]

Yes, a brave knight. I for one know I can count on you to save me.

[No, you are not a prince. Chie, you'll always be a girl to Yukiko. And princes are boys. Or something. She...doesn't think about gender roles much.]
