>That actually is a hilarious mental image, little Honey dragging a sword through the streets behind her. Might even be a better sight than CIrno's driving, albeit much less dangerous.
>Wait for Honey to turn up.

>About the only person you think she could manage to hurt with that thing would be herself. The sword's longer than she is!
>You wait around for signs of Honey. Eventually a tiny speeding form comes into sight through the thin fog. Unfortunately, she's angled wrong and poised to miss the guild entirely.
>"Well, I'll be..." Marisa says, then flicks her hand into the air. A brightly colored spark of magic shoots up into the sky above her and flares briefly like a beacon.
>"Over here!" she yells, cupping her hands to her mouth. Sure enough, the fairy swerves towards the two of you. The demonstration briefly draws a few gawkers from the square, but they go back to their business soon enough after glancing in Marisa's direction. Her reputation rather precedes her...

>A few moments later, Honey swoops in for a landing, wings beating furiously.
>"I- I- made it..." she cries weakly, red-faced and panting, then collapses in a heap on the cobblestone.

>Do we have any water left? Offer her some.

>You pull out your canteen and offer her a drink. You have to nudge her a little so that she even notices, what with her face smooshed against the ground. Once she does, she accepts it and chugs greedily, then flops onto her back with a sort of strangled sigh.

>And be sure to help her back on her feet too, supporting her with ourself as needed.

>You try to help her back to her feet, offering yourself as support. She stands unsteadily.
>"H- how'd I do?" she asks.
>Marisa scratches the back of her head. "Er, well... Great spirit!"
>Honey lets out a weak little "Yay...."

>"Cirno... get her... next time," Honey pants.
>"Welcome to try anytime!" Marisa says.

>"Now relax a bit Honey, You did good. Sidekicks need a break when they're dead tired, after all."

>"Yay..." she repeats, leaning up against you. Her wings flutter weakly.

>You consider picking Honeysuckle up, but wonder whether that would only make her more overheated.

>On the other hand, it might do her some good to get off her feet.
>Is there a bench or something nearby we can lay her down on for a while?

>Still, it might be good to give her some place to flop that's better than the road.
>There is indeed a bench on the other side of the square, currently unoccupied.

>"Yay...." The race seems to have done a number on her vocabulary.
>You pick up the tired fairy then carry her over to the bench and lay her down. She flops against the back and nearly slides off the bench entirely before she catches herself.
>Marisa throws you a pointed grin. "Aww... how cute."

>Give Honey a minute to recuperate.

>You grumble silently at Marisa. If she suspects, she gives no indication of it.
>You give Honey a little bit of time to gather herself. She rallies quickly given how exhausted she seemed upon arrival, slowly straightening her posture. Marisa just rests her arms behind her head and gazes up at the sky while you wait.
>"Have I... Have I been a good enough sidekick for today?" Honey says after a short while, frowning a little uncertainly. "Can I stop now?"

>"Oh!" Her eyes light up. "Yeah, a cute little one with spots and everything! I- I left it where you left me 'cause I didn't want it to get hurt."

>"Heck, you might have even broken into low grade heroing."

>There is a moment's pause, then her face breaks into a beaming smile. "R- Really?"
>Marisa snickers again.

>You can practically feel Marisa's smirk drilling into you. You don't even have to look in her direction.

>You decide to turn the tables, just a little.
>"Yay!" Honey lets out a little cheer. "I want a giiiiant sundae with butterscotch!" She throws her arms wide for emphasis.
>"I, uh-" Marisa sputters, then looks at you and shakes her head. "Sounds good to me! What about you, Naz?"

Why, thank you, Purvis.

>"I may have to meet you there, though. Thanks to Honey here, I have a cat to deliver first. Good job on that, by the way. Wouldn't wanna leave... Naoki, was it, holding it for too long."

>Honey giggles as you compliment her. She looks amazingly more lively than just a few minutes ago.
>"Probably pawned it off on someone else by now," Marisa says. "I think she was running errands for Kourin. Imagine it's still in the guild somewhere, though."
