"How'd what go?" Sein asked, innocently, the teal haired girl sipping her tea with a false innocence.
"You know what I mean," Deed said with a knowing look at her older (technically speaking) sister.
Otto nodded from beside her twin. "Yes. How is the Young Majesty getting on with her friend? Was Dieci correct?"
"Weeeeelllllll....." Sein drawled, pious innocence drawing out into a grin. "I didn't get as close as I could have. Lady Einhart has quite the left hook. But given what I saw along the way, I'd say they're well on their way," she said.
"Perhaps it is true what Dieci said," Otto pondered. "That would certainly be a romantic tale right out of the Saint Church's legends."
"Except a lot more interesting!" Sein said. "Because we can help them along!"
"...help them..."
"Along..." the twins said, both looking at the enthused Sein and feeling a sudden chill of fear.
"Of course! I've seen it in stories a hundred times!" Sein exclaimed. "First, we set them up on a date. Probably with those two schoolfriends of the Young Majesty's. Then we manage to separate them and ensure the proper mood. When the time's right, we assist with the confession! I mean, we're part of the Church now. Assisting with confessions is what we do!"
"I don't think it quite works like that..." Deed whimpered.

"For the record....the next time you think of something like this?" Dieci said.
"Yeah." Deed replied.
"We know," Otto added.
"Don't tell Sein about it," they groaned in stereo from their position stuck inside a particularly large oak tree that had been knocked ever so slightly askew by the sudden arrival of three combat cyborgs landing in its upper boughs after a slightly ballistic path.
Fifty feet below, at the base of the tree, Cinque looked over at Sein with an inquisitive expression. "And how, exactly did they get up there?"
"Miscalculation of specific heat?" the teal haired Number suggested sheepishly.
Cinque looked at her for a long moment and then shook her head. "And the hot dog cart?"
"Splash damage."
"...right. Wendi, this is Cinque. We're going to need your board and a winch."
