[ Yan Qing watches her with curious eyes as he waits for her response. Frustrating as she was last Halloween, he likes to think they've moved well past that. They're both Servants of Chaldea now. Doesn't that make them friends? He wouldn't say he was as close to her as Kiyohime and Tamamo were, nor would he say he can trust her as much as he does Izou, but they've got each other's backs, don't they?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but being a "total cutie" is the only thing she's good at. Ladies and gentlechillas, you won't find anyone more reliable than the great—!
