>Smile. "As will we. As will we."
>"Just so, Lily."
>Nod with a bright smile. "You can even bring her here to meet Marigold if you so wish. She needs all the friends she can get after all."
>Try not to get bowled over by Lily. Give her hand a companionable pat.>"Something bother you about her, Marigold?"
>"Very close to it, but Lily and I reacher her before she could be taken."
>"She had a hard time, but she'll get better."
>"She'll have it. But for now, we were more concerned about you."
>"Study hard, Marigold. The better you do, the easier it will be for you to stay in contact with us."
>Give Marigold a hug.>"You'll make us proud, I'm sure of it. But now, we need to go."
>Ruffle her hair a bit in that sort of proud parent way too before we go.
>"And you, too.">Assuming Lily is ready, depart!
>Look around. Any signs of Kiku?
>Look toward Marisa and Koishi.>"Excuse me, have you seen where our friend went?"
>Nod. "Thank you.">Look to Lily, "Should invite ourselves in?"
