"I hope you'll like my story," Duck said thoughtfully. "It's pretty interesting, if you ask me. Of course I'd say that because I'm one of the main characters, but I mean it. Rue and Mytho and Fakir, and Miss Edel, and Uzura, and Pike and Lilie, and everyone else are really good people. I'm sure you'll like reading about them. I hope I get to read your happy ending too, or at least hear about it." Though true that Duck was inclined to think the best of people (well, unless they were really mean), there were some she was utterly certain about, and she was quite sure that Setsuna was a good person, and someone like that ought to get their happy ending.

She smiled softly, encouragingly, and touched his arm lightly. "We'll find a way out. I know it."

Duck swiped two of the top bread rolls, as they looked in danger of falling off, and ever so sneakily munched on one as she followed Setsuna back to their target. "Thank you," she said politely, as good manners ingrained into Duck.
