T-Thank you.

[He nods,that soft smile returning to his lips once more.]

Yes. Flandre-chan is quite special. She has come a ways, and although I don't always agree with who she befriends, I have come to notice that Flandre-chan is a good judge of character, [He sighs, thinking about her and her close friends and how troubling they can be, but he chuckles to himself.] for the most part, anyway.

[He takes a glance at the party for a brief moment.]

So, am I correct to assume you're from Gensokyo as well, Miss Marisa?
