I am doing well.

[She pauses for a moment. Grune...was clearly very odd, but she had seen Rei shift from Mars, so it was worth investigating.]

Grune-san, I have a question. Do you...remember what happened after we saved Sabriel-san?

[lostinmyway]

Hmm....

[Grune spends a while sorting through the events in her mind. Everything had seemed to happen all at once that night, and after healing Viral and then walking home, the exhaustion she'd felt had clouded her memory. Time has only increased her uncertainty.

After a long moment, she says:] Yes, I looked after Viral and you looked after Sabriel.

[She frowns slightly after saying that. When had Rei gotten there? She can't quite remember.

Or had she been there all along?]

[faithfulflame]

[Ok, whew. Secret's safe!]

Right. OK, so you are remembering things clearly. [...quite a lie]

How has your recovery been? You looked very, very tired.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I'm all right. I had a nice long rest when I got home. [She probably scared her housemates with how long she hibernated, actually.]

How are you feeling?

[faithfulflame]

I'm not bad. A little tired, but otherwise I'm feeling well.

[Despite the fact that her shoulder has a big bandage on it!]

I'm glad you're well. That...was a trying experience.

[lostinmyway]

I'm glad we were able to save Viral and Sabriel. And I'm glad Helios was saved, too. [It doesn't matter that, in the end, she hadn't been able to do anything for him. The important part is that he's all right now.

And it's only just at this moment that she remembers the cake in her hands.] Oh! Rei, would you like a piece of cake?

[faithfulflame]

Oh, I'd love some. What kind is it?

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... Let me see.

[Grune, didn't you actually bake the cake yourself?]

[faithfulflame]

[Rei waits patiently, expecting this]

[lostinmyway]

[...Except that's actually a bad strategy, because the longer she thinks, the farther away she mentally gets from the topic at hand. Whoops.]

[faithfulflame]

Grune-san. What sort of cake is it?

[She's on to you!]

[lostinmyway]

[And back to Planet Luceti she comes.]

Oh, I don't know. We should find out.

[faithfulflame]

Yes. We should.

[Waiting patiently]

[lostinmyway]

Why don't you try a piece? Then we'll know for sure!

[Well, that's one way to approach the problem.]

[faithfulflame]

Sure. But you should too.

[lostinmyway]

[She shakes her head.]

Oh, that's all right. I can make another cake to eat a little later. This one is for everyone else.

[faithfulflame]

[Rei shrugs and takes the cake from Grune before she can forget. Its some manner of chocolate she thinks]

Well, thank you Grune-san.

[lostinmyway]

[She beams at her.]

You're welcome! I hope you like it very much.

[faithfulflame]

[She nods]

I'm sure it'll be good.
