"Jennifer, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Why did you and Gordon come here? Despite, you know, people saying the Netherworld was about to invade earth."

"Hmm... tough one. Well, for Gordon, it's his job. He and Thursday were meant to do this since they were young and being the thirty-seventh Protector Of The Earth weighs heavily on him. For me, it's sort of a personal sense of Honor."

"Honor?"

"Back in our world, the Japanese have a strict code of personal Honor. It's what even drove wars to completion or even upheld old pacts. For me, this is partly for Honor. Because I've been supporting him, since we were young."

"He doesn't look too old."

"No he's about the same age as I am. Of course people look at me like I'm the shapely hired help. The damsel in distress."

"I see."

"Don't Angels have a sense of honor?"

"Like upholding truth and justice?"

"Well, kind of. It's like a personal thing say 'I won't betray on my word' and stuff like that."

"Oh yes! Master Lamminton taught me about that. We call it Vow."

"So if you said you wouldn't attack some place or uphold a decision, that is what we call Honoring the Vow."

"Oh I see!"

"Hehehehe."

"Um, Jennifer? How old are you?"

"Hmm, I'm definitely not as old as all of you. I won't even live that long to tell the truth. I'm only twenty-five."

"Wow! With an Angel, we're barely out of diapers at that stage!"

"Well Angels and Demons are very long-lived. Humans on the other hand only live for about a hundred years."

"So it was sort of a pact of honor that you had to stop our invasion?"

"Yeah, though there's no invasion so we're all good. In a way, our Honor is intact because we didn't have to defend our world from invasion."

"I see. Thanks, I was just wondering why you came here. It's been really fun and Etna and I are looking forward to the trip to the Sea of Gehenna tomorrow!"

"That's going to be fun. I wonder if I can make Laharl pass out with a string bikini?"

"Huh? Why would you want to do that?"

"His fear of womanly forms is just so CUTE! It's just fun to tease him."

"Wish I had womanly curves."

"Don't worry Flonne, you have a long time to grow up. After all, you've lived for what, nearly fifteen hundred years? Don't worry, you'll be getting looks of admiration long after I've died."

"I really wish you wouldn't die. I like you a lot, Jennifer."

"Aw that's sweet Flonne. I wish I didn't have too but humans can't find any other way of living longer. Don't worry. Hey, want to make me a promise of honor then?"

"Huh?"

"When I die, do you want to promise to find me, even if I somehow became a Prinny?"

"Of course! I would never let you down, even if you were a Prinny! I Flonne, Vow to meet Jennifer when she dies."

"Cool. And I promise to be the big sister you need. Okay?"

"Sure!"
