 [Hello, good people! Have a fidgety young lady addressing the feed, shifting from side to side.]

Um, hello. I, um... I'm sorry for taking up some of your time today...

[A Duskull is in the background, doing her hair.]

Why don't you just use me, kiddo?

N-No, I can do this! I'm fine! Uh, where was I... oh, r-right!

[She gulps, turning her attention back to the 'audience'.]

Lady Lucina gave our thanks to all of you in Union, and I... just wanted to add my own as well. You've all been so kind. No wonder you've lasted for so long... a-and it's time to repay such generosity.

... Unfortunately, I'm not really as talented as Lady Lucina. Or strong. Or wise. Or...

...Are you sure you don't want to use me?

N-No! I really! Let me try one last time... What I mean to say is... W-what does the city need most right now? Out of everything in the city, what could use the most help?

I see... I could give both a try, and see what works best.

... You're so fortunate, having your parents with you.

[cutiepanther]

That's not a bad choice. As long as you don't overwork yourself and decide that you can't do either. They aren't exactly easy things to take up.

[ As if Maki has any real clue, she's rich, and hasn't worked a real day in her life. ]

...F-Fortunate? Why would you say that?

[blood_and_thunder]

My parents were lost in a terrible battle. So I'm happy you can be with yours.

[cutiepanther]

Oh...I had no idea.. I'm sorry.

[blood_and_thunder]

Mmm... It's all right. They fought so I could live, so I have no regrets.

[Sorta.]

[cutiepanther]

That's pretty selfless, doing something like that for you. They must have been good people.

[ Maki has never really had much difficulty in her life, certainly nothing that bad, but she can try to be supportive. ]

[blood_and_thunder]

They were... so I have to do my best for them. I want to make my life as useful as theirs was.

[cutiepanther]

[ This conversation got pretty deep! ]

W-Well, I can maybe put in a good word for you with my parents and get you a temporary position.

[blood_and_thunder]

Oh, I wouldn't want to bother you.

[cutiepanther]

[ Given that she wants to help people, Maki doesn't mind being bothered. ]

It's fine, I'm sure they could use the help anyway. If this is what you want to do then it's fine giving you a bit of a head start.

[blood_and_thunder]

I guess it would be rude to turn down such a generous offer.

... Thank you.

[cutiepanther]

It's not a problem. My name is Maki Nishikino. It's nice to meet you.

[blood_and_thunder]

I'm Noire. The pleasure is all mine.
