Being just human isn't good enough Lenalee. I wish it were, and for men it is. But to secure my throne... nothing less then divinity will do, not if I am to be the Queen my people deserve. Though I hardly think I am like Mary. I could not meet life's cruelties with so graceful a smile as she always wears.

[She laughed, for that and for the thought of being a martyr.] I am not very good at that, I am not the most pious of women. But I'll die for my people, I'd rather be a martyr for my people, it's the only thing worth dying for.

[She's glad for it, and she shifts a little so she could hug Lenalee back, her arms going around her, little as she was, it made her the right height to lean her head against the younger girls hair.] We have too. Any expectations of men are so tripled onto us, just to prove ourselves.
