>"Yes, that was.... Surely I won't be that wrong two days in a row, will I?"
>Sheepish smile

>Rin chuckles quietly as she spears a piece of fish. "Well if ya are, then that means we get another chance to fight some evil. That ain't all bad."

>"Saving lives could never be bad. But if it's all the same to evil, I'd be just as happy if it left everyone alone for a couple days."
>Smile and then spear some fish of our own

>"I'll drink to that." Rin concurs, though she settles for a sip of water rather than the stronger liquids that phrase usually refers to. "About Satori, though. I've just had a thought. If ya don't mind a suggestion."

>"Well, what if you recruited her? That way she could do good for the bad things she did, even if they weren't all her fault."

>"One doesn't have to fight demons to do good. Even as she was, she used to give guidance to people - and wise guidance, if her reputation is to be believed. Much good can be done in the world simply by listening and offering help to those in need, in whatever small ways we can. I know that right now she is the one who needs kindness and council, but there is nothing she need do to atone that is not already in her power."

>"Plus I guess, if you COULD recruit Satori, there's no way she'd be able to keep it secret from her jack." She shrugs around a mouthful of rice. "'less you recruited her too, but I sorta doubt that'll happen, fer some reason."

>"I think someone should. I mean, you're trying to save two whole worlds. I know you're not out for any kind of fame or fortune, but, it doesn't seem fair, if you pull it off, and no one knows it was you." Then she smiles again. "Or 'us', as you'd put it."

>"Well, I don't know that I care if I get credit for this or not, so long as we succeed - that will be reward enough. But it's a shame when the truth of history gets lost to time, and some year this too will be history. They say that those who do not understand the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them. If what we do here truly ushers in a new age of peace and freedom for an entire race, then perhaps it's important that the world remember what was done."

>After throwing on a bit more clothing than the robe you had on for food, you step outside to pop next door. Unsurprisingly in this snow, you find Letty outside, presently engaged in a game of fetch with Hyozan, the big malamute enjoying winter almost as much as his owner. Marissa's motorcycle is missing, which is a bit of a surprise. Normally when she stops by the apartments, she doesn't leave before saying hello to you. Well, she probably didn't know you were in is all.
>Minoriko answers your knock without much wait, and the blonde smiles when she sees you. "Byakuren, good evening."

>"Evening. This may sound a little curious, but I don't suppose you have any peaches I could borrow?"

>"I used most of what I had in a pie." Minoriko informs you as you enter her domicile. "I've still got a piece of that left, if you want it. Ah... Here we are." she says as she sticks her head in her fridge. "Oh, more than I thought. I've got three left."
