"Mmmm." Yuyan looked down at her knees again, swinging her feet to and fro. "I've always thought I help them because that's what I'm supposed to do. For example, I had a friend with me, and she's a princess from another country. She can speak our language well enough, but she can't cook, and she can't defend herself, so it's only fair that I do it, because I know how to do those things. But I suppose you're right--I like helping her, and I don't see her as a burden at all, because she's my friend. Maybe it's the same way for the others."
