"KIHO, those snowdrops are beautiful."
Kiho nodded. He was happy and proud that Tilly noticed the little ice snowdrop flowers that "bloomed" when the ice puppets melted because of his wife's flame. "We didn't have the chance to say goodbye to them. I thought giving them your favorite flower would be a good way to send them off, and to pay them our last respects," he explained, then he turned to her. "Tilly, you whispered a prayer before you sent your feathers to each one of them, didn't you?"
Tilly turned to him with a surprised look on her face. "Oh, you noticed?"
"Yes," he said. "What did you pray for?"
"For each one of them to be reincarnated in a world where they can live in peace," she said. "I want them to be happy in their next life."
He smiled and gently ruffled her hair. "Good girl."
She groaned playfully. "Don't smile at me like that, Kiho."
He bit his lower lip, then he got serious. "Okay."
She laughed softly.
