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.]

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.

[keystaff]

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.

[projections]

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.

[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?

[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?

[projections]

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

[keystaff]

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

[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.

[projections]

Do you have any vegetables ? We can use those too.

[keystaff]

I have some. Carrot, cauliflower, broccoli, some green beans and potatoes? That should be plenty?

[projections]

That's more than enough.

I don't know if your vegetables are fresh or frozen but as long as they aren't spoiled it should be okay. When you go and eat spoiled food all you'll do is make yourself sick.

[keystaff]

Fresh! I might have some frozen mixed vegetables too though. But I do know you need to be careful with some foods, yes. To not get sick.

[projections]

Frozen vegetables would be fine as long as we defrost them properly before we cook them.

Sounds great, I'm looking forward to it.

[keystaff]

I can check and make sure things are ready, anything that needs defrosting, earlier in the day before you come over. So it's all ready.
