[ She's still so rueful, but Zara's gentle touch really does remind her of her mother's, and the way she used to praise her when she drew her a picture.

It makes her smile, wistfully. ]

You're welcome... I just wanted to thank you, for letting me stay with you.

[sewayaku]

Oh? Just for that? But I'm happy to have you.

[ ... really. she's quiet and easy to take care of - he can't ask for much more than that. ]

T-that's still a big thing to me! You didn't know who I was, and strangers aren't always safe--

[sewayaku]

I must admit that I didn't take the potential dangers into account. [ he smiles rather teasingly. ] I couldn't imagine such a cute girl being a threat.

C-cute-- Zara!

[ BE MERCIFUL. ]

[sewayaku]

What? It's the truth. You are very cute.

[sewayaku]

Being shy like that doesn't help, either. It only makes you cuter.

[ THE ASSAULT IS RELENTLESS even though he's not facing her anymore. He just can't help himself. ]

I-I'm not trying to be cute!!

[ this flustered squeaky indignant noise should prove it! ]
