Cherinita sat on the railing by the pond in the garden, her blue-gray tail drooping to the ground, covered in dust.
The Female Knight approached slowly and stood beside her, placing one hand on the railing and patting her shoulder with the other, "Nina, are you okay?"
Jeanne's tone was gentle, not at all like her usual self.
Cherinita lowered her head, her voice weak, "Aren't you mad at me?"
"Mad at you for what?"
"You didn't do anything wrong."
Jeanne gently rubbed Cherinita's soft long hair, deliberately brushing past her slightly droopy ears, "I've wanted to touch them like this for a long time. I didn't expect that sly woman Prajna to beat me to it."
"I haven't done anything wrong?"
Nina questioned, quite confused.
Jeanne chuckled softly and nodded, "If we have to say you did something wrong, the only thing is that you underestimated your own life."
"What do you think of the Commander-in-Chief?"
"Very well."
