We`re still staying a bit right ? I mean i don`t mind if we don`t, but i kinda think that spending some more time here is a good choice.
>Keep a smile towards her.

Kilga said pretty much what i was going to say, so i haven`t got any ideas left for now.

Yeah, we can take some time to keep her calm and see her off to bed or whatever. I just want it made clear up-getting that we have our own responsibilities to take care of as well.

EDIT: Also, if/when she confesses to us, my desired response is basically "I've never thought about it before, I'll need some time to consider it". Not an acceptance, because I don't think Youmu would or should do so, but also not a rejection, so as to not break her heart.
