Hikari recalled the events of the night, relieved to have something to distract her, even if it wasn't a pleasant memory. "We were coming back to Sandpoint from a distant relative's wedding when we got ambushed by goblins. They launched fireworks and scared Buttercup into bolting off, right into a bunch of goblins waiting with horsechoppers." She blanched at the memory. "She's probably horsemeat by now, and then the goblins attacked in force, half a dozen of them." Her hands strayed down reflexively towards the hilt of her sword, only to find the scabbard empty. "Oh no, my<em>katana</em>, no, the Suzuno family<em>katana</em>, I must have lost track of it during the fight. Father will be angry..."<br/><br/>Siri's blunt order snapped her out of her crestfallen state. "W-w-w-w-what? I'm too young to get married!" Hikari squeaked, completely misunderstanding Siri's intent, crossing her arms over her chest protectively. "Even if you did save my life..." she added, as her face turned several shades redder than before. Despite what she was saying, though, Siri could see that Hikari was sneaking surreptitious peeks at her scantily clad body and trying to be discreet about it, if not quite as discreet as she thought she was being.
