How many Ahirus does it take to put back Mytho's heart shards?

[schuchternprinz]

[[After the previous night, Mytho is out practically marching around town the next morning, glancing left and right, seeking someone. He hadn't been able to find her when he had woken up that morning (not that he got up early enough anyway), and simply couldn't wait for her to return, after all the opportunities to ask her that he'd missed...]]

[Ahiru is wandering through the town, seemingly deep in thought. She doesn't appear to be paying attention to anything surrounding her, much less where she's going.]

[schuchternprinz]

[[He spots Ahiru, and at a glance he suspects she's the one from the same world that Mytho the prince had come from. Still, he could have easily mistaken her for one of her doubles...but he had to ask, didn't he?]]

A-A-Ahiru!!

[[He hurries over to her almost desperately. He tries to formulate the words to explain what he wants to ask her, but the anxiety welling up in his heart overwhelmed what eloquence he possessed.]] I-I, um, I have to, um, a-ask you something -- th-that is to say, um, I-I have to ask you, um, could you, um, p-please....

[[He blinks, shaking his head at himself exasperatedly.]] I can hardly get any words out like this, much less something intelligible! I have to calm down...but, but what if she says no? What if she's not even the right one? Or I was wrong about Tutu being Ahiru from their world? Will I sound stupid? Am I saying this right? Oh, dear, this isn't going well at all...

[She jumps a bit as he calls out to her, turning her head. She seems very surprised to see him, but then remembers she's seen more than one Mytho before...]

Uhh... Is this that other Mytho I met before? It looks like he has a heart. ...Why is he so nervous? He has to ask me something, right? What...? D-does that mean it's about...?

[She suddenly blushes.] Um, w-what is it?

[schuchternprinz]

Calm down, Mytho! Tell her about the shards!

[[He's almost trembling with the nervousness.]] I-I uh, um....the-the shards!! M-Mytho...he...he's been....m-missing...them...and...I...

[[The anxiety managed to let him get that far before his words were wrung dry again. He clutched his chest over where his heart was, taking deep breaths to try to loosen himself again.]] ...This anxiety...it's coming from the heart shard itself, isn't it? It's why I'm...barely able to function...

...T-T-Tutu...a-are you.....? Can you....return...them...?
