dreamcrystals | 2nd Card {Voice}

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.]

I didn't figure it could just be me that is without their friends or family. As sad as that is. I guess it just means we can stick together.

Of course! You can always call on me if you need anything. That's what a friend is for.

Right! And you too. If you need anything. I can try help. Hopefully. Or at least listen.

There's a lot of things I need help with still.

Are you any good with gardening and cleaning? Moving into a place is so much work.

I don't do so much gardening but cleaning I can help with! I do some at home with helping out around the house with onii-chan and dad being busy with university and work. I cook too. Sometimes.

We should cook together sometime.

It might be good to try. I can teach you what I know if you're interested.

Yes! I'd like that. I'm sure we probably know different recipes. Even if mine are probably more basic compared to you since you're older.

That's fine. I'd like to see how you do them for myself. A good chef should always be open minded.

I might be able to learn something new along the way. I mostly cook Japanese food and things like that. You don't have any diets, do you ?

I'm not sure if I would know anything you don't. Most of my dishes are still pretty basic and simple. I've only recently been allowed to fry things now I'm a little older, at home. But. It could be fun! Most of my dishes are Japanese too.

Then it works out for both of us. Nah, even a basic disc can be handled differently depending on its recipe. Not everyone make rice balls the same way for example.

I had a classmate who was new at cooking but she slowly started to improve. I think she's trying to beat me in cooking these days. It just takes more practice.

Oh! Riceballs I can do! They're pretty simple!

But that's wonderful! That she is learning! Everyone starts somewhere. Even I started doing some very basic stuff when I was about ten, making dinner while waiting for the others to get back from work.

You can learn too with something simple.

I don't think it would be too hard for you to fry an egg. That should be easy enough for you.

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!

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.

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.]

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.

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.

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.

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?

That'd be fine!

Then let's see each other around dinner time.

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

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

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

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.

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.
