###Despite her own jealousy at Cambria's relationship with her father, Princess truly was glad for the girl. It had been difficult growing up as it was, and though she did not know if it would have been any easier having a father, she suspected that it may have been so. At the very least, perhaps Raphael could have kept Tokyo in line a bit, if he had been around and not a useless wolf, as he had always been described. Without ever having met him, Princess hated him, but no more than she hated her mother. Perhaps she even hated him less, since he had never done anything terrible to her or Ares. In fact, he had never done anything for them, good or bad, but Tokyo had done horrible things. Life might have been easier for the Chance siblings if he had been around, either alone or with their mother. Still, she could not begrudge Cambria's good fortune, so she simply smiled in response, glad for the girl.

###She could relate to Cambria's sadness about hurting the butterfly. Though Tokyo had never shown her that it was wrong to hurt someone or something, the girl still felt remorse about the idea of possibly causing someone physical pain to someone else. Emotional pain, she could not say anything about, as her sharp tongue had been her downfall more than olnce and she hardly ever realized that her words could hurt someone until it was far too late. It was simply the way she had been raised, knowing that Tokyo's own habit of speaking hurtful things had likely rubbed off on her. The idea of taking care of a caterpillar was interesting, though, and Princess wondered whether it was something that happened frequently. Was it like taking care of puppies, or different? "That's cool! What's it like to take care of a caterpillar?" she asked, very glad that the young Marino had clarified what a Leafy was. She had never had a pet or anything, having focused on keeping herself and her brother alive for so long, but it was a curious idea. Maybe she could look into something similar, so she could see what it was like to take care of something else. Princess had no clear role model for this, so she would eventually need to learn. The best way to learn seemed to be to learn by doing, whether by eventually having puppies (a big eventually!), or taking in something like a Leafy.

###Beaming, Princess was very glad to know that Cambria seemed to be as excited as she was. She held the spotted dress out for Cambria to take, trying to decide how she was going to go about showing Cambria how to dress in the clothing. "To put it on, you basically unzip the back, like this," she said, picking up a stray dress from her floor that also had a zipper and demonstrating the motion. "Then, you step into it, like this," she instructed, stepping her feet into the dress she was using to explain with. Instead of pulling it up, however, she let it fall around her feet, as she was already wearing one. "Then you just pull it up, put your arms through the holes on each side, and zip the back up again! If you want, I can do that part for you," she added, clasping her hands together excitedly. She knew that zipping the dress behind herself had been difficult at first, and Cambria was not used to human clothes, so she was more than willing to help her.
