2nd Card {Voice}

[keystaff]

Um. So. I'm glad we figured helping out with the Wizard and all. I just wanted to let everyone know. I have figured a couple of new cards. Gale and Record. I guess with the storms, the winds earlier. And the focus of positive memories with the wizard. It was reminding me of them. I'm not sure if these and Flight, I might be able to use to help out more?

[She pauses here, considering for a moment, as Kero in the background reminds her to be careful. Not that everyone can see, but she gives a nod in response, softly saying that she would.]

If anyone wants, I can show you. I just figure. It's best to let everyone know? I'm still adjusting to being more open about this, but. It seems a lot of people here are used to this. Having magic or some sort of powers. So. It doesn't seem like such a big deal? The same with Kero-chan, I guess. That people know about him now. That's okay. Just -- again, taking some getting used to is all. I'm so used to hiding my magic, having him pretend to be a stuffed toy. Now he doesn't have to. Or, at least. He doesn't have to worry if he says something. Or if he goes around as his True Form. It's like a lion but with wings.

[Kero's voice can be heard piping up 'and I breathe fire and fly. And talk, of course.'

Sakura closes the journal as she turns back to him again.]

[ There are a lot of words there that Xiao simply doesn't know. Context and meaning is lost on him for the moment. ]

So your companions know but not your own blood relations?

[keystaff]

Yes. At least. I guess, they know more. Compared to onii-chan. And dad. So I am not entirely alone in it.

[keystaff]

I am getting there. I think dad and onii-chan were just worried about the oil splashing on me. Especially if they weren't home when I was cooking dinner.

But I can now! I'm starting to cook better. More complicated dishes than I used to!

[projections]

If you're worried about getting hurt I can watch over you until you feel comfortable enough to do it alone. That's the least I could do for you.

[keystaff]

I can manage! I'm taller now and I've had more practice with it.

[She won't say no if he does come around though. If he is there cooking with her anyway at the time.]

[projections]

It might be better to have some supervision still.

I don't know about leaving you all by yourself in the kitchen. It's easy to get accidents there.

[keystaff]

I cook alone most of the time at home when I figure something for dinner, while onii-chan is studying or at work and dad is out too. It's not like I haven't cooked by myself before. I have, lots of times. But I guess if you want to come help, or taste test.

[projections]

I'll see how you do for myself then. It'll put me at ease that way.

Being careful in the kitchen would never hurt. When would you be free? I'd give you a cooking lesson when you feel ready.

[keystaff]

Alright. At least if it helps you not worry.

I'm usually around in the evenings! After I finish lessons with the school Mei-chan had been setting up and stuff. So dinner?

[stillarhino]

probably nah if its just a dream right?
like you just gonna wake up and its gonna be the next morning

[projections]

That'd be fine!

Then let's see each other around dinner time.

[keystaff]

Dinner, then. I can make enough for both of us! What night did you want to come over?

[keystaff]

I guess? Or I hope so at least. It just seems so different to my other dreams.

[stillarhino]

well least its something new right?
maybe itll even get you to make more of those cards of yours if it keeps up

[keystaff]

Maybe. I just hope if I do that I figure it without anyone else getting hurt or anything.

should be good to wrap soon? :D

[stillarhino]

you did it aight just now didnt ya
bet you can do it again easy
and when u do show me what you got aight?

[projections]

How about tomorrow? That way you have some time to prepare things and I can set aside an afternoon for that.

Yeah sure!

[keystaff]

This time, yes. I just hope if I get more that that continues. And I can show you!

[stillarhino]

cool now i got something to look forward to when you get to it

[keystaff]

Yes! That works! Any particular favourite dish you want us to have? So I know what ingredients we might need?

[keystaff]

I guess we'll see! I'll let you know.

[projections]

Hm, just keeping around basic ingredients like flour and sugar will do. There's a lot you can do with base ingredients so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

When you get older you should also learn how to make delicious meals from simple left overs.

[keystaff]

Alright. I do tend to keep some staple basics around at least.

We don't tend to often have left overs. Between onii-chan and Kero-chan at least.

[letmewin]

Gosh, magic is so unique in every world... Humans don't really use magic that much at home like they used to. I think that if my Mom had had the chance, she would have taught my sibling magic, too.

We can give it a try! I learned that nothing can really happen unless we do that much. And, I heard that this world has magic of its own that we can try to use, too.

[keystaff]

Mm, most back home couldn't use magic and figure it is just in video games or movies or books.

I guess it might be worth trying at least. Together, at least we would have some back up?
