>"I'm quite certain she's a runaway," says Yuyuko. "She won't say anything about where she's from, and she gets quite tetchy if you mention the scars on her back. They are quite nasty scars, I'm sure they are from a lash of some kind. She doesn't like her real name, so we have to call her Midge. That aside, well, she's quite fearless, as you've seen. I believe she intends to be a knight of the table, whatever that may be. If you get her going, she'll talk about all the quests she intends to do."

>"Oh, it isn't something she dreamed up?" says Yuyuko. "How disturbing. Regardless, she hasn't shown any interest in actually leaving, so we take care of her now. She's quite the little sweetheart, bravado and all."

Considering how much sakuya hated youmu, I doubt she would say "pity".

>"Do you miss her?"

Suwako Moriya · « **Reply #432 on:** August 08, 2016, 09:21:13 PM »

I'm being sarcastic. Hence the "hmph" and lack of meaningful facial expression.

>You should hope not. You understand that Mistress has an innate ability to manipulate fate on some level, but you don't understand how it works. You are reasonably certain, however, that she does not really control it. Or if she can, her control is very limited. Certainly she would abuse it more than it seems she does now if she could. Honestly, it's quite easy to forget about.
