Author's Note: Happy 2017, everyone! May this year be better than the last, whether you thought 2016 was the best year to have ever passed upon this year, or one so terrible it should be skipped over in the history books! Well, not completely skipped. Fates came out in North America and Europe (and other places, maybe, I'm not sure) in 2016, so they've got to include that. Anyway, this chapter is shorter than most of the others, but it was either have a 5,000 word chapter and a 10,000 word chapter, or a single 15,000 word chapter. The former won the vote. Only thing I have left to say is that it's been decided that Robin was unmarried in Awakening. It would be weird to barely include it as of chapter 12, so that's that. If I do include Gerome he'll have to have a different Father. In all 6 of my playthroughs, he's been the son of either Frederick, Robin, or Lon'qu, so oh well. If he's mentioned here I'll just skip over his parentage. This is getting long, so I won't go on any more. Thank you for 100 reviews (116 now), 175+ favorites, and 275+ follows. I hope you continue to read, and without further ado, enjoy.


By the time Robin made his way over to where the woman he assumed to be Kagero was, she'd already been untied and was making conversation with Saizo. The red ninja was on the ground, shirtless, with Jakob bent over him. The butler looked annoyed, fretting over the many puncture wounds on the Saizo's back, the ninja himself silent and with both eyes closed. It looked like one of them was twitching ever so slightly, though, so it seemed the annoyance was mutual. If Robin had to take a guess about the wonds' origin, he'd say Saizo had fallen into one of the numerous spike traps that littered the Mokushujin forest. He didn't seem too bothered by his injuries, more unhappy about Jakob's mutterings, but Robin knew from experience that the man would be aching all over the next day.

A few seconds after arriving, Saizo addressed the woman as Kagero, and Robin's assumption was affirmed. Like Kaze and Saizo, Kagero was also a ninja, though in a different color scheme. With a pink… whatever you'd call her vest-top-dress thing, and a yellow scarf, she and the other two Hoshidan ninja retainers made an almost complete rainbow. They had red with Saizo, no orange, yellow with Kagero, green with Kaze, blue with Saizo again, pink back with Kagero, and finally purple by Kaze. Either they would have to gain a fully orange companion, or one of them was going to have to get fancy. Although, Kagero's scarf was on the more orange side of yellow… So it could technically be considered orange. Maybe Robin could convince her to switch out her white hair ribbon with a bright yellow one. Then the rainbow ninja trio would be complete.

They probably wouldn't care. Or listen.

Although if he asked Corrin and Ryoma-

"Robin!" someone shouted, drawing the man's attention.

"Hmm?"

In front of him was Sakura, cheeks red. She must have run to get over to where the others were. It was kind of cute.

"What's up Sakura? Do you need something from me?" he responded, hands on his hips. During the earlier battle he and Orochi had done fine, so Robin hadn't received any injuries a vulnerary couldn't deal with. He thus hadn't had to go finding Sakura, sticking to his position to defeat anyone that came his way. At one point Orochi did leave their place to find the princess, worrying about a wound that had been closed up by the only concoction they had but would possibly leave a scar without a rod, but Robin himself hadn't made contact since they all separated.

"Oh, n-no. I was just wondering if you've seen Corrin. Everyone but she and Gunter are back…" the young princess stuttered, wringing her hands.

Robin glanced around, noting everyone's conditions. Saizo seemed to be the worst off, though he was handling his injuries the best considering their magnitude. Hana was a little whiny, which wasn't helped by the fact that Subaki was trying to rile her up. Whenever she ruffled in response to something he said, she'd wince and moan an 'owww' before glaring at him and sizing back up, further aggravating her wounds. Mainly one she had on her arm, judging by the state of her left sleeve, which was bloodied and torn.

Subaki only had minor wounds, as did his pegasus. He was caring for the winged beast as he argued with Hana though, giving his mount more attention than he'd sought for himself. It would be best to heal his own wounds before trying to care for others, but Robin wasn't Subaki's direct boss. He could be told that by either Sakura or Saizo. Sakura was his liege, and Subaki took everything she said as a challenge to complete perfectly. The ninja on the other hand was one of the crown prince's retainers, and from what Robin understood chief over even Kagero, so he should've held authority over the others. That thankfully included the power to give them instructions that they'd listen to.

Oboro was talking with Hinata, both with small nicks but cheerful. The latter had a small nick on his cheek, opposite the cross shaped scar he had on the other side, and was joking about getting another one to match. Oboro wasn't laughing, going on about how he had to be more careful.

To their left Hayato and Rinkah had gotten together again, the younger of the two boasting about how great a help he'd been, so skilled as to protect even a valiant warrior such as Oboro when she could not do it herself. Rinkah was unamused, and instead shot back with her own feats. Was she feeling incompetent in the wake of his supposed exploits? That was kind of funny.

Orochi was speaking to Takumi, and Reina chatting with Azura a short distance away. Though what Orochi was doing was more talking at Takumi, and backing him up to a tree while she did it. The prince was blushing hard and looked uncomfortable, face turned down as to not look Orochi in the eye.

Robin clicked his tongue and looked back to Sakura, shrugging.

"I haven't seen her since a few minutes into the fighting, but I'm sure Corrin will show up at any moment now. Don't worry about it, okay?" Robin reassured, taking Sakura's hands in his own.

The girl stood still for a moment, nodding slowly a few second later. Then her eyes widened at the sight of Robin's hands covering her own and she blushed red, not quite as red as her brother, but still impressively so. She jerked them back and took a few steps away from Robin, shaking her head furiously, pink hair bouncing about. The girl's actions were sure interesting, Robin had to admit. He'd never met a person with such fierce reactions to everything, nor someone who moved so much in response to a single sentence. Or two, he supposed, since he split them up.

Sakura's question was still well deserved, since every other group had already arrived aside from Corrin's. Robin was starting to get worried as well. He walked over to where Subaki was, patting the man on the shoulder. He looked at Robin, and Robin pointed back the way he came.

"Is your pegasus in good enough condition to fly over that way? Corrin and Gunter are missing, and since it's been a while some of us are getting worried. Including your liege."

Subaki's eyes widened, and he slid the brush in his hands into the pouch at his pegasus' side. While talking to Hana, he'd taken off some parts of his armor, so he quickly started to put them back on, frowning when he realized the state it was in and the repairs he'd have to make. Or maybe when he realized that it wasn't perfect, rather quite damaged, and that wearing it would sully his perfect image.

The sound of flapping wings behind Robin surprised the tactician, and he turned to see Reina ready atop her now bloodstained kinshi. Corrin wouldn't be too happy when they met up. Hopefully it just meant she had injured many, many people, as opposed to having caused a few people to bleed to death in some weird fantasy she had to soak herself in the bodily fluid. She seemed the type to do that. But Robin really didn't want to confirm, so he'd just leave her be.

"You wait there. I'll go find her, okay kiddo?" she said sweetly, scratching her kinshi's head. "Subaki hasn't been over the way we were fighting, so he doesn't know which places Corrin would be at. Sending him in would take too much time. Plus, Redrum and I can go faster than he can, so it'll be more effective. And I'm in better shape, so in case there are any straggler Mokushujin who still want blood, I can take them out nice and quick. Does that sound good to you?"

Robin and Subaki nodded quickly, both a tad bit disturbed. With a rapid motion Reina turned her kinshi and set it off, flying back the way she had come.

Kinshi were truly beautiful creatures, and Robin was disappointed there weren't any back in Arit. He'd love to see some at least every once in a while, and once he went home that would be gone (because he'd figure out a way to get home, eventually. Everyone was waiting for him. They wouldn't just give up on him, would they? Although, parting with everyone here would be…)

The kinshi's shimmering tail feathers and elegant sheen were impressive, and much more interesting than the plain pegasi the tactician was accustomed to. So far Robin hadn't seen any falcons or dark pegasi, but they may have been found only in Nohr. Then again, Jakob had mentioned sky knights were exclusive to Hoshido, so chances were the two species didn't exist in Archaea. Or at least Canta, but Valla had seemed pretty barren during his trip there. The beasts found in Hoshido were likely the only large feathered flyers around. Too bad.

By walking over to Subaki, Robin was finally within earshot of Kagero, and he her, so the ninja shouted over to him.

"You there! With the white hair and dark coat," the ninja called, standing. "Come here for a moment, please."

Robin raised an eyebrow at the brusqueness of her first two sentences, contrasting with the hastily tacked on 'please' to the third that attempted to make her words polite.

"Yes?" He replied delicately, walking over with soft steps, hands in his pockets. When he had originally gotten his coat it hadn't had any on its exterior despite the four on its interior. But Robin wasn't going to be some low-class, pocket-less heathen. He was better than that.

"Saizo told me you organized this mission to rescue me. Thank you for that." Kagero gave a quick bow. "I do have to ask though, what exactly is your relation to Corrin? From what I understand, the man healing Saizo is Corrin's personal servant, and the knight with her at the moment is her guard. But you, the fourth Nohrian, have not been given an association. So I would like to know, if you will. It's pertinent to both the safety of myself and my comrades that the secret of your acquaintance is revealed."

Kagero's face stayed relatively blank, but her brow wrinkled slightly. Robin chuckled, and another tiny wrinkle was added to her forehead.

"Ah that? That's a pretty big deal. I can't go around just revealing such personal things such as that, especially not to someone who I've known for all of twenty seconds, known of for less than an hour, and may be part of an army looking to take my head!" Scratching his chin, Robin put his gaze to sky, a thoughtful look on his face. "But… since Saizo listened to me and was a big help, and since I'm pretty sure we'll have Ryoma on our side soon anyway, it can't hurt that much."

Robin cleared his throat very loudly, and took in a deep breath to begin what would be a fun, but long, story.

"Now then, it all started four years ago. As you may or may not know, Corrin was placed in a fort once she was kidnapped and brought to Nohr, one she was never allowed to leave. As a precaution, Garon ordered a magical barrier be put around that fort. A complex one that required the help of several senior mages, in addition to constant input from some minor ones. My parents, having been former members of King Garon's personal guard, were tasked with designing and conjuring the barrier, making occasional adjustments and repairs, and assisting in its maintenance."

By this time, Robin had gained everyone's attention, and was surrounded by a circle of Hoshidans. Azura had left with Reina, and Jakob was slightly behind the circle, still healing Saizo, with a look on his face that just screamed 'you've got to be kidding me.' He didn't say anything to stop Robin though, so the tactician continued with his 'childhood story,' which he was making up on the go.

"You know, considering that you couldn't really say it all began four years ago, but four years ago marks the day we met, my good friend and I. My parents and the rest of the Nohrian Armor Fort Barrier Internal Powering Squad were looking to add a new member to the team, and decided I was fit to join. So, they gave me the task of learning the ins and outs of the fort, telling me that if I could make a model of it in a month's time, I could join NAFBIPS. My whole childhood I'd heard of NAFBIPS, ranging from tales of glory to the old nursery rhyme, 'The wise old witch Mcfips, queen of the great Nafbips.'"

"Anyway, during that month I wandered the fort to familiarize myself with its layout, and during that time I made one of my best friends. With long light hair, and a glorious laugh, I knew we two were meant to be not just good acquaintances, but lifelong companions. They lived in the fort, spending all their days there, and hadn't spent much time in the outside world before going inside, so I felt the need to tell them about it.

"That friend, who's stayed by my side to this very day…" Robin 'recalled,' looking to his right with a forced tear in his eye, "was Jakob. The best man I've ever known, and someone I'm blessed to be able to spend time with. He and I just… I still get emotional thinking about our friendship and all the joy he's brought me." Robin wiped away the tears, sniffling a bit for added effect. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Jakob's jaw drop. It was hard to keep himself from laughing at the sight.

"Jakob, a servant of the fort, knew every nook and cranny, and helped teach me all he knew of the stone building. If it weren't for him, I doubt I would have passed the rest to join NAK…. uh, NAFBIPS.

"Anyway skip forward three and a half years and I'm working in the fortress to strengthen some barriers in the interior when a whole bunch of Nohrian royals walk by, accompanied by some girl I'd never seen. She walked them to the door and they waved goodbye, the four of them walking away while she remained inside. Now I'd seen just about everyone in the fort, but never this girl, so I went up to ask her what she was doing. I apparently wasn't very intimidating though. She just blinked and asked the same of me. Thankfully, my knight in shining armor Jakob showed up and interrupted me before I could say anything incriminating. He introduced the two of us, and for the next half a year the three of us went on frequent outings- I mean, trips around the fort that were as close to outings as outings could be - and became good friends. One day she left the fort, Garon sending her out on a scouting mission to the Bottomless Canyon…

"Well, with no Corrin, there was no reason to hold up the barrier around the fort. My parents and I were fired on the spot. Normally, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but with no more ties to the Nohrian upper class, I was evicted from my house, all my possessions still inside. Furthermore, that month there had been a terrible plague passing through the area, and my parents both fell ill. If I had the money, I could've bought them medicine, but without a place of employment I had no more income, and couldn't afford the thing that would have saved their lives. Less than a week after she left, I was broke, homeless, parentless, and without a job, all because of Corrin."

Hana and Hayato let out small gasps, and Jakob was making such a strange expression Robin had to take a moment to bring a sleeve up to his face to hide his smile he couldn't hold back anymore.

Kagero gave him a curious expression because of the movement, so Robin came up with a hasty excuse. "I'm sorry, I get a bit emotional thinking back to it. Covering the face is a way to cope, they say… Moving on, I had nothing. So, I decided to go for revenge, hunting down Corrin with everything I had. Finally, I found her, running away from a battlefield on the plains of Hoshido, accompanied by Azura and Jakob. When I moved to attack her, Jakob jumped in front of Corrin, begging me not to harm her. But it was too late. The blow from my sword had landed, and he fell bleeding to the ground. I cried out in horror and knelt down to pick up his bloody body, sobbing as the light drained from his eyes and he went unconscious.

"Thankfully, Corrin had a concoction on her, one she gave to Jakob, saving his life. In that moment, she had saved my most precious person, and I knew she couldn't have been all that terrible. So, I tried to make amends. Plus, after seeing Jakob so badly injured, I decided I could never let it happen again. The only way to do that, though, was to stay by his side, which meant I would have to join Corrin. So that's why I'm here. By organizing our strategies I can always make sure Jakob isn't in over his head, and will always know where he is in case I'm ever worried. Because that's what best friends do for each other, and I know without a doubt Jakob and I are each other's number ones."

All around Robin were teary eyes and slightly open mouths, some people looking taken aback at Robin's emotions.

But of course someone just had to ruin the moment.

"Hey guys, I'm back. What's going on? Why is everyone circling around Robin?"

Corrin had finally been collected, the girl hopping down from Gunter's horse while the knight himself remained mounted. Reina and Azura were right behind, both curious.

"Robin here was just telling us the story of how you two met. It was… touching. Your younger days and the fort, Jakob's devotion to you both, your recent reintroduction…" Kagero said, looking touched.

"Our…? We met in a field after Ryoma and Xander fought over who would be taking me home. What are you talking about?" the white haired princess shot back, quite clearly confused.

"Yeah, he told us about that. The field and how he walked up to you, ready to get his revenge, but stopped because of Jakob's valiant sacrifice. I gotta give it to you, Mr. Butler, you've got more guts than I thought," Rinkah answered, nodding over at Corrin's younger servant who was still torn over what to do.

"Um, excuse me if I'm misunderstanding," Azura interrupted, walking to Corrin's side, "but Robin didn't 'walk up to' us. He was quite unconscious when we met him. And I don't remember Jakob performing any kind of 'valiant sacrifice' either. Is there something I'm missing?"

All eyes turned to Robin, and he sighed, slumping over.

'Yeah, the joke…'

Rubbing his head, he straightened. "Well, you've caught me. Everything I just said was a lie, by the way. I have no idea who my parents are, what they did, or whether or not Jakob has spent most of his life in that fort and if he was allowed to leave. And the two of us plus Corrin and Azura met for the first time in that field, where I was happily snoozing away until they woke me up. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised you believed me. I was making that all up as I went, and even started to skip a couple times, eheh…"

A roll of bandages flew past his head, making Robin duck to avoid it. Then a shoe came for him, which he was unable to dodge in his crouched position.

"Okay, I may or may not have deserved that, but I wasn't the only one who played a part in this! What about Jakob, who was just standing here! Or Takumi and Sakura, to whom I described all of my memories, which do not include my parents! Or ever knowing Corrin! You were there when I told Izana how Corrin and I met- heck, Takumi even said it once for me! Don't put all the blame on me, I was just rolling with what I had…"

A plethora of sighs sounded, and Robin sighed, ducking behind Gunter and his horse when the pair to the first shoe flew past him. Thankfully he managed to dodge that time. But he wasn't going to risk getting hit again, so he opted to stay in his hiding place until they had to move again. The others seemed fine with it, and resumed conversation.

Kagero started with a question to Corrin, "Lady Corrin, what is it that you're doing here? I heard that you were planning attacks on Hoshido after refusing to join Ryoma. What good would rescuing one of his retainers do you in getting revenge? From what Saizo's said, I wouldn't think your plan to execute me yourself, but I cannot see why you'd go out to your way to help someone such as me."

Corrin shrugged and gave a nervous laugh.

"Well actually… rescuing you wasn't really my original intent. You see, Kaze here is the reason we came in the first place. Saizo put up a smoke signal when he was going to rescue you, which Kaze spotted and recognized. Technically it was a distress signal, which you probably know if you could see it from where you were, but Kaze was worried so I decided to come look for Saizo and help him out. We ended up surrounded in doing so. To get out we fought our way through, which ended up freeing you in the progress," the girl said, shrugging again. Then her eyes widened and she tensed up, shaking her hands in front of her face.

"N-not that I wouldn't want to rescue you or anything! I'm glad we did, after all everyone deserves to get rescued! But uh, yeah. We were surrounded and needed to survive, so we took out everyone around, and saved you while doing it. Um, is that a good explanation?"

From behind Gunter's horse Robin pursed his lips at Corrin's exclusion of an answer to a certain question. He picked up the shoe thrown at him that was close enough to grip and tossed it near Corrin, the footwear landing near her bare feet. She looked back at him and Robin mouthed 'revenge.' Corrin caught on after a few seconds and spun back around, addressing the topic.

"Oh yeah, and one last thing. I'm not looking for revenge. I didn't refuse to side with Ryoma because I hate him or Hoshido or anything like that. I love him with all my heart. It's just that I have a pretty big heart, and have some extra room for my family in Nohr, so I couldn't just betray them either. Maybe they kidnapped me, but can you even say that? It was Garon that did that. Xander and Camilla and Leo and Elise had nothing to do with it, and they've only ever been nice to me. I couldn't just turn on them like that. All I want is for everyone to get along.

"I know it may seem like an impossible task, but I know that I can do it, somehow. It may take a while, and I'll need a lot of help, but I will get it done. Hoshidans and Nohrians can get along. I know it. Especially my siblings. They're all great people, and I know that if anyone can do it, it's them. Truly."

Kagero nodded in understanding, but Sakura butted in to support her sister regardless.

"P-plus, Takumi and I are with her, so she's got to be trustworthy…"

"Of course. I apologize for doubting you, Lady Corrin, but please understand my post requires it."

"Don't worry about it!"

A moment's silence filled the air, Robin peeking out from his hiding place to get a better look at his situation. Most of the others had tuned out Kagero and Corrin's conversation, the only ones paying real attention being the two women themselves, Jakob, Sakura, Kaze and Saizo, and partially Takumi.

"Kagero," Saizo cut in, "do you have information regarding our liege's whereabouts?"

Kagero nodded.

"That and more. He was on his way to Cheve, according to the last message I received from him. He is currently planning on allying himself with a group of rebels there who are looking to rise up against the Nohrian government. They have long lived under Garon's tyrannical hand and have long tired of it. They're planning on using the distraction of the war to gain the upper hand, and Lord Ryoma aims to use that to his advantage, hoping his work with the rebels will create a friendship strong enough to convince them to help sneak Hoshidans across the border. Cheve is a border town, after all, so it is one of the best places to cross for us. I was planning on bringing this message back to you at Fort Jinya when I was apprehended. I apologize for my carelessness. Not only have I taken up your time, but I have delayed Lord Ryoma's words, which is a much greater offense."

"Don't dwell on it. Mokushu and Hoshido have an alliance in place; you were only acting according to the terms of our treaty. Suspicion is good, but some may have called avoiding Mokushu and taking the long route paranoia or distrust. Though your route through this land may not have been the best, it wasn't a completely terrible or incorrect decision. Just remember to be cautious, and to take all precautions you can. Even your best friend can turn on you if they are offered enough in return.

"But don't dwell on it. For now we need to head to Cheve. Did Lord Ryoma inform you of his route, or just his destination?" Saizo had stood in the middle of his speech, putting his top back on as he finished addressing Kagero

"The latter, I'm afraid. And what do you think will happen with Mokushu now? According to the rules of the treaty, Mokushu would be absorbed back into Hoshido if it were to break the terms of the treaty and attack a member of the royal family."

Robin's eyes widened from where he was. Saizo also looked mildly disturbed by the occurrence and probably result, but Orochi saved them some of the trouble of consideration.

"Well, it's a little more complicated than that. The treaty itself says only that Mokushu would be absorbed into Hoshido if it mobilized its army to attack us, or if it used its power to injure one of the royal family. From what I can see, Sakura is uninjured, and though Takumi has some scuffed up clothing, I don't see any wounds upon his body. Why, do any of the rest of you respectable Hoshidans and royal retainers see any injuries upon Takumi's body? I hear that he and the rest of you got into a small scuffle with an individual not a part of Mokushu before setting foot in Mokushujin territory. Perhaps it was him that ruffled Takumi up, don't you think? And those rebels we fought were quite the rag tag team. Some of them might have belonged to the military, but based on the way they fought together I wouldn't say they were an actual regiment or squad... Thus, we're the terms of the treaty really violated to the point of having to take Mokushu in? Sure, they were violated to the point of an apology and some minor fees or tribute, but nothing so major as to dissolve the state and take it into our own, right?" Orochi explained, ending with a wink.

"But-" Hinata began, immediately cut off by Reina.

"And it's a good thing the treaty hasn't been violated too. Hoshido already has enough on its plate as it is. Not only has the queen just been killed, but the barrier that's protected it for years is down. Plus, her successor Ryoma isn't even in the country, and the castle town is in the midst of repairs after a certain explosion. Add in the fact that her old advisor is acting as a stand-in ruler, the current head of Hoshido doesn't even have the true authority to decree the retaking of Mokushu. He would have to be the one to approve it, and approving something you yourself asked for the approval of could be seen as corrupt. No, it is a lucky thing indeed that the treaty has not been violated in any major way, and that we have so many trustworthy and high class witnesses to confirm the fact."

Robin was glad to have some more people that knew how to work around things and what logic was around. It made his job a lot easier.

As long as they didn't help too much. He did like doing what he did. Sometimes it was just nice to be reassured he wasn't standing around surrounded by an endless mix of people who frustrated him. But he didn't want to be rendered obsolete either. That was one of his biggest worries.

With the new information Robin had gained, he announced to the group that the trip to Mitotsu was canceled. No one opposed the idea, so they prepared to leave. Before going further though, Corrin made sure all of the still living Mokushujin were relatively okay, and that none of them were in conditions as to die from their wounds. Only the two men Saizo had killed, one woman who'd attempted to ambush Reina, and an unfortunate samurai who tripped into one of Takumi's arrows had died. It was a relatively successful day. One that ended with Reina complaining about how Saizo got to kill more people than her, but successful otherwise.

After Corrin checked up on everyone, Kagero located Kotaro's second in command and got them to sign an agreement to look over the incident of that day the most they could, and to postpone any retribution for the events until after the war was over. They agreed, and Kagero wrote it up, she and the man signing it before she tied it up and sent it with a messenger bird toward the capital. It would be flying solely over Hoshidan territory from there on out, and there were apparently rules in place not to injure any of its kind, so the message would be safe and in Yukimura's hands within the next few days.

With that they set off for the port, looking to find a ship that would take them around to Cheve.


Author's Note: By the way, in my google docs where this is a part of the super long chapter I haven't quite finished so decided to split, this part is entitled "Rescuing Kagero." "Ninja Rainbow!" is just so much more fun, though, and I'm feeling giddy, so that's what's here. For now at least. I might change it later. Not like this is a super serious or formal story anyway, but meh. Now shoutout time! Thank you to Antex-The Legendary Zoroark who went through the story to review every chapter. That takes real dedication when you're going through a multi-chaptered story that's already up rather than one that you review as each chapter comes out. Hard to describe, but you have my thanks.

There's more I want to say, but I forgot. As long as I'm thinking of it though, this year I got Path of Radiance and The Sacred Stones as holiday presents, so that's great. Now I just need FE7 and FE11 to have all the English FE games. Although I've watched the beginning of an FE11 playthrough and the graphics really aren't my thing. I have to finish the games I have before I get more though, so we'll see. That's it, see you later.

Thank you one last time for reading, and please leave a review if you have the time.

Eruran out.
