To be an upstanding young woman. To be a role model to younger generations. I couldn't ask for a better child, than you.. ...well, there's Mion.. but you get what I mean."

"...Listen, I.. I know a girl. She's a little.. wacky. Not the bad kind, just nervous. She's older than you. But.. with your abilities, she could really help you out, or at least try to help out. You think that we could visit her sometime?"
