There was something nice about the things Hanzo said. Even if the war was temporary, it didn't mean Hanzo had to leave. And it didn't mean she could stay only for that long. She could find more permanent housing. Maybe set up a real shrine in Paris. She would have to think about it. Set up funds, buy land! Things she understood, but never really had to do. And yet, the idea of Hanzo being there with her... Doing such mundane stuff with her... 

Chieko was lucky that she had summoned a servant like Hanzo. Someone with years of wisdom. Loyalty to a master. Perhaps that was the heart of her legend. Loyalty. Some servants had it more than others. 
[color=00aeef]"As long as I live."[/color] She said, cheeks still soaked with tears. [color=00aeef]"I will not give up."[/color] She wasn't sure if she could keep that promise, but as she said it, she wanted to. It was comforting, knowing that. Knowing deep in her heart that whatever the odds, she wasn't fighting them alone. 

She looked down at her cone, and frowned. [color=00aeef]"Well, since vanilla didn't work out so well, I guess I'll try strawberry now. Or mint. I heard this thing called pistachio is supposed to be really good."[/color] The topic change was as graceful as a duck falling from the sky, but it probably served its purpose. 

[color=00aeef]"And don't worry about judging the living."[/color] Chieko said, already looking to order more. [color=00aeef]"The thing about living, is that you have to learn from the past. You can't go forward if you don't know the mistakes or successes of those who pre-dated you."[/color] It was a soft smile she gave then. Eyes glistening... But not with tears. With hope. Dazzling wonderful hope! [color=00aeef]"That means, I can't possibly lose with you around to help me!"[/color]

Maybe it was too bold to say it now. But these two? They could win the war.
