"I don't hope to ask for much, Matsu-san," she said with a soft smile for the tone of the end of the day. Pulling the pillow back into her arms again and leaning onto it, "I just want someone who I can laugh with and retreat with at the end of the day," she said with another smile.

"I'm gonna work toward it, be a good bride, much as I can," she said with another, even softer smile.

"Surely there's more than that. Being Being bbn le to laugh is right and good, but surely you want more than to just be a good wife for some person?" Her head tilted in curiosity

"Nope!" she said happily, shaking her head in double confirmation. "I suppose," she laughed a little, hiding her face behind the uncomfortable pillow when she did. "Well, I suppose that I won't turn away anything more than that, but really.. that's all I would hope to ask for. Not.. always the easiest thing, but," she shook her head. "Well, it's all I want," she confirmed with another smile and a nod.

"There is nothing wrong with knowing what you want," she smiled gently. "I am just impressed that you have such easy needs. I hope that you find exactly what you are looking for."

she is precious and must be protected

"Mmm!" Ichika vocalized with a confident nod of her head. Dipping her head she gave a quick, "Thank you, Matsu-san," and rose from it with a smile. Looking at the empty page to her side she furrowed a brow before looking up to Chiyoko with a smile.

"Hey, Matsu-san," she smirked as she teased up the idea, "Do you know Utaku Hyeon-ju-san by chance?" she asked, tilting her head to the right a bit as she asked. With the question Ichika certainly watched Chiyoko's reaction closely.

"Um. Yes. Yes I do." Chiyoko nodded quickly. Her head then tilted in curiosity. "I take it you know her as well, then?"

"I do!" she said with an extended lead on the word, a bright smile. "She's my room-mate! She actually did my makeup this morning," she said, bringing a hand up as she giggled into it.

"How well do you know Utaku-san?" she asked with a smirk.

"Well, how well can one know someone she just met three days ago?" Chiyoko posited. "Though my interactions with her have universally been rather pleasant, and I'm looking forward to future opportunities to spend time with her."

"Mmm," she smiled, nodding her head. "Better to know you've talked compared to just met in passing though," she smiled, bringing a hand up to cover her laugh. "Oh! Speaking of, Matsu-san," she said, a small giggle. "With the Miai and all.. I don't actually ask often about the person themselves, yea? So, I realized I'm not asking all the questions!" she chuckled, shifting the pillow underneath her again to make it more comfortable.

"What kind of spouse do you think you'll like to be, Matsu-san?"

Chiyoko blinked. Blushed a little. What kind of question is that? But she took a small breath, then nodded. "I want to be a source of strength. Someone a spouse can rely on when things are tough. And someone a spouse can trust, confide in. Share good times and bad."

"Oooo," she vocalized, looking to Chiyoko with a wide smile. Leaning into the pillow that sat in her lap a little, "Very honorably and good things to be, certainly!" she said with a little laugh. "Do you think you'd want your spouse to raise any children you might be asked to have, or is that a Duty you would find your pride in?" she wondered, raising a brow.

"I'm a soldier, first and foremost," she answered. "I will offer what I can to being a mother, but duty does not truly allow me to put more into it than I otherwise might. Naturally, child rearing would need to be a collaborative effort with that in mind."

"Hmmm," she said, tapping her chin. "Well," she smiled bright, "thank you for answering, Matsu-san," she dipped her head. "Oh! Also! Have you spoken with Utaku-san a bit about fashion stuff? She may not look like it but she's actually really knowledgeable about it," she giggled into her hand. "Even more than me!"

"We've not talked about it much, no, though I have seen her penchant for fashion first hand from our initial meeting," she nodded gently. "And you are welcome. I see no reason to be anything but forthcoming in this matter."

"Well.." she glanced over toward somewhere that had the time displayed. Rocking her head a little in thought, "Oh hey," she said, shifting around the pillow and grabbing up her purse and putting it down on the table. Pulling out her communicator, "We should probably get to bed but uh, wanna keep in touch?" she asked with a smile.
