So, Kaori opted to keep her own name. He didn't say it, but Kierkegaard found it admirable that she would hold onto the calling. He had been faced with the same choice and had held fast to his given name. So, already they had found something that they had in common. The ghostly figure believed that he would have a better chance with the dark young thing because of her age. She had reached adulthood but was still well into her youth; Kaori had so much ahead of her. Signe had been different, he told himself; Signe had been too young and he had not had the patience. While he had not necessarily gained even a modicum of poise, he believed that her age would grant them a bit of room to breathe.

The young leader was something of a wild card, and the inability to predict her made things difficult. Still, as long as he did not allow Kaori to cross over into the territory until she was invited – if she was invited – he believed that they would stand a decent chance.
