It's okay Takeru. We're all just speaking our minds here. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm sure there are no hurt feelings.

[ Ishtar agreed with what Takeru had to say. His words definitely hit a close place in her heart. He was a young kid, but he was pretty intelligent and honest for his age. He was a lot more honest than she would ever be really.

She was going to jab him in the chest for the comment, but decided against it for the sake of the seriousness that just happened. Ishtar would never want to replace anyone in her life, and even though she said those words casually, she honestly meant them from the bottom of her heart. She knew that Zero saw things differently, so she didn't pushed the matter. The whole conversation made her think about her own family and his younger brother whom she had grown fond of as much as she did of Zero.

It was easier to understand Zero when he was honest with what he wanted to say. She appreciated it nonetheless and bit into her apple quietly, before protesting to his comment. ]

You might get a bit chilled too. Isn't it large enough to house more than two people?

[ She tilted her head. ]

You're sure good at finding things, Zero.
