{Hey, Sensei…} Nino said suddenly, a hint of worry in her voice. {Do you like me? Or am I just another toy to you?}
Sam was taken aback by the question. He thought that they had already gotten over that part, but apparently the young Valkyrie still wasn't convinced. It was then that he remembered that she had confessed to him. Seeing her eyes looking up with anticipation, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly. He leaned in and took her lips, and after a few seconds he let go of her and smiled again.
"Of course." He said in plain English. "I love you, Nino. That's why I chose you to be my personal Valkyrie."
"Your…" she stared at him for a moment before a smile bloomed at her face. "Right. Your personal Valkyrie. I completely forgot about that."
"It's an important role, you know?"
"I… I don't really want it…" Nino said after a moment of contemplation.
