"Hey, Bell?" said Urd. "Another beauty contest is coming up soon. Care to expand on your conquests?"

"Not unless Keiichi wants me to enter," Belldandy said cheerfully.

Urd sighed. "You don't have much of a competitive streak, do you?"

"No," Belldandy said simply. "There is nothing wrong with sharing your beauty with others, if it pleases both you and them. But it shouldn't be a competition. We should strive to be beautiful only to improve ourselves, not to better others."

Urd rolled her eyes. "You can say that," she said snarkily, "since you've raised 'inner beauty' to an art form."
