Yue stepped out of the window and walked out on the roof. Ren was sitting a little aways, leaning on his arms, watching the stars. His eyes were narrowed in furious concentration, as if demanding that the stars explain themselves to him. Bason, his guardian spirit hovered behind him, watching his master.

"I wonder what I should say?" Yue asked Kasai.

"You should compliment him on the fight." He immediately replied. "He would like that." Kasai folded his arms, smiling smugly.

Yue's eyes slanted in, giving Kasai a quizzical look. "Talk to him about fighting?"

"Oh yes. Men do not like being emotional. They like physical action." Kasai preached, his eyes closed in his moment of prophecy. "The surest way to his heart would be to avoid talking about anything that involves feelings."

Yue's jaws dropped. "What are you, an expert?" Yue thought. "You've never even been human!"

She shook her head and walked towards Ren.

"Are you always this moody?" Yue tossed him a bottle of milk. From the corner of her eye, she could see Kasai moping, an aura of blue gloom surrounding him, dejected that she had not taken his "expert" advice.

"I'm preparing for the Shaman Fight. Nothing will get in my way of becoming the Shaman King." Ren declared and finished his milk in a single drink.

"Why do you want to be Shaman King anyway?" There was a moment. Yue's hopes soared. She had actually gotten him to talk!

"I'm going to train." Ren stood up and walked away, Bason trailing after him.

Yue let herself fall flat on the roof. She took a few deep breaths, her eyes closed. "Kasai, do you like being a warrior?"

Kasai "Mmmm"ed and "Errr"ed long enough for Yue to know he has unsure of what to say.

"Did it bother you to always have to follow someone's orders?" Yue rephrased.

"A warrior exists to serve his Lord. Nothing would give him greater happiness."

"No greater happiness huh." She repeated.

Kasai scratched his head uncomfortably. "Mistress, that doesn't mean that…"

"Its okay, Kasai." She smiled at her Warrior's perplexed expression. "We're leaving tomorrow morning. We should get some rest." Yue sat up and looked at the stars for a moment. She took another breath.

"Ren. I don't know how this is going to work out, but I have confidence in you. And I will support you." Yue decided. Then she walked back to the window, and closed it.

She took two steps and then stopped, deep in thought once again.

"Is everything okay?" Kasai asked.

Yue folded her arms and deliberated a moment longer.

"I don't know how to get back to my room." She laughed, her hands behind her head.
