Though I suppose you could also talk about how you beat the gatekeeper if you liked. If Remilia herself actively seeks you out and gives you trouble, let me know, and if she's still in one piece after meddling in your affairs, I'll be sure to finish the job."

>"Well, yeah," says Tenshi, "if she wants a problem, I'll give her one. But, I also kinda think it's better she has those places. It'll maybe teach them a lesson."

>You decide to spend a little time on your dance floor while waiting for food to arrive. It feels nice to go through a few basic moves; you note that Tenshi is watching you from the bed.

>You divide up the lunch and dig in. And, frankly, you're kind of embarrassed at how hungry you are. But it's been a long and exhausting day already, and it's only half done.
>Tenshi is actually a bit more restrained than you are; you think she must have been snacking at the turtle house. But she doesn't seem to notice the difference.
