[Tsuabsa's a bit surprised but happy as the boy takes off after his group.] Be well! [She gives a small smile and a wave as he leaves, before turning to Irisviel.]

Yes, well - getting her to admit she knows such things is also it's own challenge, at times.

[Having the expectation of praise conditioned out of you will do that. Tsubasa can understand that, if not nearly to Chris' level.]

But... she does. I am very proud that she is my friend.

[Even if it sure didn't start that way.]

We have all been through a lot, and it honestly sets my mind much more at ease that I have someone here I know I can rely upon no matter what. It's my hope that in time I'll have more people like that as well, but... It's a good place to start, at least. She may call me "Senpai," but I'm not sure if she realizes how much we rely on her just as much.

[She glances at Irisviel.] But... I guess I have not asked you much about yourself.
