Week 2, Post-Trial: Shinshin

[withsadness]

Hey! Hey!

[It's not exactly a time to celebrate, but they do have a small victory on their hands. And this one: it's for Eleanor. So Mary can't help bound up to Shinshin with hope on her face.]

We got her! We got her! We were right!

[Although what he says are pretty words that don't really mean anything to her with her limited young knowledge, they're still pretty, pretty word. Mary nods again, keeping his lock of hair save in her closed fist as she dots at the corners of her eyes.]

I do receive your offering and I'll keep it safe.

[Keep it safe and hope she never, ever has to use it. With her hands curled up to her chest and Shinshin's form bowed before her, Mary leans in and plants a sweet kiss onto his forehead where his bangs are parted.]
