[Those familiar with Kodachi's dulcet tones would instantly be aware of the fact that she was singing. Quite off-key. And laughing to herself. No, that wasn't creepy at all.]

[This continued for a while, and then she spoke.]

All you small and tiny children running around and calling for your mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers . . . oh, you all make me miss my family so dreadfully! Especially my mother!

[Yes, it seemed that she was aware of the fact that she'd just broadcasted herself humming a toneless melody and had, in fact, done it intentionally.]

[She let out a blustery sigh.]

You see, I haven't seen her since I was a little girl. She's probably off on her adventures, like I am now.

[She paused, seemingly downcast, but seemed to cheer herself up.]

Now that my fiance's arrived, perhaps it's a good time for me to be thinking of the future rather than the past, don't you think? ♥

Little children, what do you believe makes a good mother? Let me know so that I will become the best mother to my and my Ranma-sama's future children!

OHOHOHOHOHO! ♥

Of course I do! I hold on to the hope that I'll see her again sometime and she'll tell me all about her adventures.

[Hubert guesses that makes sense. And...that would be pretty cool, actually. Most of the tales he hears about the outside world come from books and the other people in Lhant.]

I hope she does too. If she's been gone for so long she must have a lot of interesting stories, right? What does she do traveling the world, anyway? Is she a merchant?

[Merchants are the most common type of visitor to Lhant, as far as Hubert can tell.]

I honestly don't know! It's been a while so I don't remember much of her. I suppose I should ask father.

[This honestly doesn't disturb her much.]

Anyway, what of you? What is your mother like?

She's beautiful, and kind, and patient. And she's a really great cook. She makes the best rice omelettes.

[Though he has to admit that the former captain of the Friend Ship came pretty close to matching Lady Kerri's omelettes.]

She sounds like a respectable lady and a good mother.

Do you miss her?

[bitty_blue_brother]

A lot. But I don't think I want her here. I'd rather just go home to where she is.
