[Mami blinked, then. Wait, The Duchess part sounded right, but Marianna Mami? That sounded all wrong, somehow...]
[She looked at the portrait again, carefully, and grinned when she realized that what it actually had said was "Mariannna Candeloro, the Duchess of the Candeloro Province". Yes, that sounded much better!]
[And so she turned back toward Nagisa with a laugh.]
...It is?
[Mami grinned, and patted Nagisa's head.]
- Oh, yes - My other name is Charlotte, and yours is Candoloro!
[Nagisa grinned back.]
...Huh, really? Why isn't it Marianna?
[Mami said, and gave Nagisa a hug, just because.]
- Well, I dunno, but it's Candeloro, not Marianna. Maybe it's because you used to think that being the Duchess Candeloro was more important then being just Marianna, I think?
[Nagisa said, a slightly sad smile on her face, and then she turned toward the other portrait.]
...I'm sorry Mami-Nee, I'm not sure what I'm talking about right now at all, but - Hey, look, this one looks like all our friends! The pink haired one looks like Madoka-san, and the redhead and the bluehead look just like Kyoko-san and Sayaka-san!
[Mami looked at the other portrait, then, grinning.]
...Indeed they do! But it's odd - The cute girl with the old fashioned coral glasses looks very familiar too, but I can't for the life of me figure out why. Who does she remind me of, I wonder?
[Nagisa took a good look at the figure Mami was pointing at, but then she giggled.]
- Oh, Mami-Nee - That's just Akemi Homura-san with glasses! Though she does look awfully cute like that, ha ha ha...
[And then, Nagisa paused a bit, and turned toward Mami.]
...Mami-Nee? Homura-san is a good person, really, even though I know you've fought her before. And I...
[Nagisa took a deep breath, then.]
- Um, there's something I have to tell you, Mami-san, and it's really important, and I really have to tell you all about if before somebody else -
[Well, somebody like that creep Kyubey that is, Nagisa thought with a wince. She wasn't going to let him tell Mami-Nee anything about the Magical Girls turning into Witches business if she could help it, that was for sure... That was Nagisa herself's job, really, she felt for some strange reason.]
- Tells you all about it, but first, I want us to do all the stuff we came to do here, and have all the fun we can, OK?
[Mami looked at Nagisa for a moment, her eyebrows raised, but then she smiled happily.]
...If you say so, Nagisa-chan.
[And then, Mami came closer to Nagisa, and put her hands on her shoulders.]
I trust you, of course - Oh, we're related in some way anyway, it seems, but I really feel like you're my real sister or something!
[Nagisa wiped at her eyes, then, feeling herself tearing up.]
...OK, then - So let's check out those really old books next!
