This is not something to punish yourself for. I am sure they knew their secret would be appreciated by all of us; you cannot help that you saw it so late.

I am quite sure Lord Motochika would not appreciate you suggesting to his Mundane that he become a 'mermaid,' either.

Ah, do not fear. The words I intended to say were ones of praise. I know for a fact that the ones I protect do not bestow their trust blindly. Therefore, as little as I personally know you, I already know you are a man of many qualities.
