>"It would be appreciated, but there's no need to just leave if you're doing anything important."

>"Naw, nothin' like that." Marissa then turns to face Marigold, her voice changing from that easy-going friendliness to that soft tone she uses on special occasions. "Marigold, are you okay with these girls talking to you without me here?"
>Marigold, still smiling peacefully, nods slowly. "Yes, Marissa."
>"You sure?"
>Marigold slowly nods again. "Yes, Marissa. They are good people."
>Your old friend laughs at Marigold's sentiment. "All right, then. But I'll be just down the hall if you need anything."

>Marissa then returns her attention to you and your friends. "If it's all right with her, then it's cool with me."

>"Alright, we'll let you know when we're done."

>Marissa tips two fingers to you in a salute. "Roger." Kiku steps to the side to let her past, and the blonde volunteer walks between you and her towards the door. She pauses, however, in front of Lily, and gives the winged woman a look up and down. Marissa gives her a shot of that charming smile that makes the vast majority of folks go weak at the knees. Lily's face colors nicely.
>Tossing you a charming wink, Marissa departs.

>"I know..." she mutters as Kiku pushes the door closed. "But..." She blushes again.
>Marigold seems somewhat confused by the exchange.

>"That's one way to put it, yeah." Lily offers.
>Marigold nods in response. "Thank you, mama. Then yes, mother, I am excited."

>If Marissa were still here, she'd no doubt make a sideways quip about 'such proud parents'.
>"Thank you, mothers."
>Kiku, for her part, seems a bit confused about Marigold's monniker for you and Lily, and she asks you, "Why does she call you that?"

>Pat her on the head, the little scamp.

>Marigold's smile shows her enjoyment of your sign of affection.
>Lily White, being Lily White, is a bit more exuberant in her affectionate displays, as she practically flies across the room to envelop the ring tsukomogami in what can best be described as a glomp. "AwWwWw, you're such a good girl!" Lily gushes. Apparently, love re-energizes your winged friend. Marigold obviously does not mind.

>Might as well invite ourselves in, and hug as well.

>Hugs are always welcome, so you join in on the family moment. Lily's arm wraps around your shoulder and pulls you in, but not hard or forcefully, while Marigold's arm slides around the middle of your back. It's really a wonderful sensation.
>Out of the corner of your eye, you see the stern-faced Kiku try not to smile. She's not doing a very good job.

>In fairness, Marigold's birth was a rather extraordinary event. And you could always propose to Lily...
>Savoring the moment between your rather unique little family here, it is Marigold's quiet voice that breaks the silence. "May I ask you a question, mothers?"
>"Of course, honey!" Lily chirps.
>"Where is the other one?"
