To my knights in shining armor ♥

I didn't get a chance to thank both of you properly, so I thought I'd say something here! I'm really, really happy you came to help me! ♥ You were both so cool! I was totally moved!

Naturally, the next step after a dramatic rescue like that is marriage, but don't worry! I'll patiently wait for the day that one of you proposes. Don't start fighting over me, okay? No matter what, you're both my heroes. ♥♥♥

With all my love,

Anise ♥

I think it might work best if Claude is the one to propose to you.

Either way, though, you're welcome.

- Guy

Boooo! You can't give up so quickly after stealing my first kiss!

Don't think of it as a kiss! I mean, you weren't even awake for that part, right?

You actually gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, Guy?

I didn't have much other choice, did I?

Well, no one said anything about it before, is all, so I was just surprised.

Yeah, I guess we didn't have much time to discuss things after all that...

No, but with how jam-packed last night was, it's no surprise.

I remember you said you were trained in maritime rescue, though. I'm starting to wonder if there's anything you can't do.

Sure there is! I've never written a novel before, after all.

Resuscitation?

Claude. Your explanation this morning was perhaps a bit too brief.

[UMMMM, CRAP.]

Everyone is okay now, right?? I didn't want to worry you!

Fine.

Just know that in the future I'd like a more detailed report, especially concerning Anise. Do you understand me, Claude?

Hehe. Thanks for worrying about me! I'm really okay, though.

I'm glad to hear it. That had to be quite an ordeal for you to require mouth-to-mouth.

Yeah... it was pretty scary. But I knew I'd be okay, since I had these two around!

They're pretty dependable, that's for sure.

Yes, ma'am.

Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.

Apology accepted. Just please, let me know the whole story next time. I do worry about you all, you know.

Being awake doesn't make it more or less of a kiss!

I was just trying to save your life!

Right, and you saved it with a kiss! ♥ It was really romantic.

Nothing I say is going to make you think otherwise, is it?

Nope! So I hope you'll take responsibility!

What does that mean?

You know, for taking part of this pure maiden's innocence! At times like this, a true gentleman would propose!

It doesn't work that way!

[Some scribbles like he's a bit too flustered to know what to say.]

~~Proposal? But I~~

I'm just glad you're safe, Anise!

- Claude

I owe it all to you! ♥ And Guy too, of course.

You don't have to be so shy, though! There's no better time for romance than a time like this!

Yeah, Guy was really great last night, wasn't he? It's good we were able to work together.

But..."No better time for romance"? Why is that?

Doesn't Earth have those kinds of romantic stories? You know, with the knight in shining armor, the damsel in distress... and in the end they get married and live happily ever after?

Oh, I guess that's true. Earth has lots of old stories like that, now that you mention it.

But what about stories with a lady knight? Didn't you say you'd rather see some of those?

Well... yeah, those would be nice too. Either way, it ends in a happy, wealthy marriage... ♥

Ooh, does this mean you'll marry me if I rescue you instead?

I don't know if marriage is necessarily supposed to work like that in real life, though...

How should it work, then?

Shouldn't people figure out if they're actually compatible first?

You don't think we're compatible...?

Anise! I'm glad to hear you're safe! I should have asked after you when I woke up this morning, but I was a bit late in waking and my thoughts were skewed.

Claude and Guy are both pretty special, that's for sure. I'm sure either would make a wonderful husband!

-I.S.

That's okay! I'm glad to hear from you, too.

Right? They're totally amazing! It's tough, though, having my poor little heart tugged in two directions at once...

- Anise ♥

Maybe you should give them both a few years to hash it out together. They seem like good friends that wouldn't want to hurt their friendship over the love of the same girl. I'm sure they'll come to an acceptable agreement in time.

[OMGGG MOM WHY YOU DO THIS 8(]

Wait, what??

What's wrong, Claude? Would you rather give Anise her answer now?

I didn't say that!

Then I don't see what the problem is. Just wait, in a few years, maybe you'll finally understand all that a woman like Anise has to offer.

Hmm... You think so? A few years is such a long time to wait, though...

Well, that's the thing. You're probably fully prepared to take on the responsibilities that comes from being a wife, but it takes men a bit longer to mature than women. Don't worry, Anise. You're still young and will just keep growing more beautiful in the meantime.

So they can't handle a mature woman like me? Maybe you're right... but I still won't give up! If I let them go too long without any reminders, I'll never be a bride.

Exactly. Reminders sound like a good idea, though. There's no giving up in the battle for true love.
