[If there was a shortage of short-haired blonde girls straggling home with bandaged fingers in Luceti, the quota might have been made now. Cecilia is making her way home now, almost looking drunk as she walks back to her home.

Help a girl out? Laugh at her not really drunk self? You decide.

Once home, she'll flop on her bed. She eyes her journal, not sure she even wants to touch another book for a while. Eventually she'll take it though.]

I don't want to see another book again for at least a month.

...I'm really hungry. They didn't feed me enough while I was gone.

[Yes, that's a plea for food.]

[Oh, Cecilia's back from her mission! ... Wait, what happened. You look pretty exhausted there.]

Cecilia? You okay?

[Sleeeeeepy smile. You don't mind if a sorceress plops on you, right Rudy?]

Mmmyeah, just tired and hungry. I feel like I'm going to go cross-eyed after all of that information I was filing for the Malnosso, though.

[Not at all, if he isn't already helping you to your room, even! You sound really exhausted there, Ceci.]

You're hungry? If you like, I could go get you something. [Or attempt to make something.] What would you like?

Anything at this point. Though chow mein would be good too. [Easy to eat and easy to make a lot of it!]

Chow mein it is?

[On other days he'd be feeling a little overwhelmed at the thought of making enough chow mein for Cecilia, but today can be an exception. There's a brief pause on Rudy's end for a moment, making a slight thinking noise.]

Think we should have enough ingredients for that.

[If not, one would better hope Seventh Heaven does emergency take out orders of 20+ or more. Rudy's going to need it.]

[There's a little bit of a laugh and a smile at that.]

Yes, that would be wonderful. Thank you, Rudy.

[She'll try her hand at dinner for everyone... eventually. When she can find something really good to repay everyone with.]

[First Rudy disappeared and then Cecilia... She was really starting to wonder if she was going to be next. Thinking about that possibility wasn't very fun, though.]

They didn't feed you enough? [a pause.]

Come on over to the kitchen if you want to eat. I'm hungry anyway, so I just have to make more then usual.

[She's only saying that as a distraction, okay!!! ~~She might make chow mein if you ask nicely, Cecilia!~~]

No, not really. [Not enough for her standards, at least!] It was work for most of the day, with few breaks in between.

[Cecilia lights up at the promise of food though.]

Really? All right. I'll be there in a moment.

[Once she's in, she'll be making her way to the kitchen, greeting Jane with a tired smile and a wave.]

[When Cecilia came into the kitchen she had only just pulled her hair back into a ponytail.]

Geez, when you said "a moment" I thought it would be a little longer than that.

[Still, she got right to work anyway. Step one was washing her hands and getting the rice and vegetables ready.]

I got some help getting back. I lucked out on that one. He's one of our neighbors, actually!

I'd say that was a lucky break too, but since your luck only kicked in after you got back it really doesn't sound like much!

[Chop chop chop. At least she could do that and talk at the same time.

...Although maybe that wasn't such a good thing after all, considering how sharp the knife was. Hopefully she wouldn't have any spacey moments in the near future.]

It was better I wasn't stmbling around too much out there, I might have been mistaken for someone who was drunk. [That would have been... probably bad.]

Ah, but I can relax a little now with no worries. Um, did you need me to do anything?

[Her shoulders twitched slightly. Unfortunately she didn't seem to share that sentiment. (She was holding in her laughter though, really!)]

I can handle this just fine on my own! Besides, trying to cook while you're tired sounds like an accident waiting to happen.

[And then the vegetables went into the pan. Hell yeah, stir fry.]

[Ahhh it smells good already! It's not long now until that deliciousness is in her tummy...!]

You're probably right. I don't want to get in your way either. Thank you though, Jane.

It's not a big deal. I said I was hungry anyway, remember?

[Eventually she turned off the heat, dug a fork out of the drawer and (very carefully) took a bite. It tasted right at least, although she may have underestimated Cecilia's appetite.]

Alright, it's done! Come and get it!

[It's possible. Still, Cecilia will get up and... try not to overload her plate, mainly because she has to share and Jane shouldn't go hungry! Not after making something to eat like this.]

Right... still, thank you. I'll make it up to you when I can.

[The portion she took for herself was a bit on the small side, though...]

Oh really? I'm not going to let you forget that, you know. Are you sure?

[bother bother.]

Yes, yes I'm sure. [Though that tone... she's not too sure now!] It's not going to be anything extreme that you'd want me to do, right?

That depends what you mean by "extreme"!

[Get out while you still can, Cecilia! It's not too late!

...Or she could just be joking. Either or.]

[This is the second girl that he's seen in such a short time just staggering around the village. It's all starting to really worry him. He walks up to her and carefully puts a hand on her shoulder as not to startle her or anything.]

Miss, are you all right?

[Cecilia pauses and looks over, giving a slight smile and a nod.] I am... I'm just really tired. The Malnosso aren't the best of hosts when you work for them.

...I see. [He frowns a bit more at that. He definitely knows that the Malnosso aren't the best caretakers, from experiencing missions and just seeing what they do with their experiments... ]

Where do you live? I'll help you return home so you can rest.

Community House number 3. I'm on the first floor with two of my friends who are here from my world as well. Thank you for the help, I appreciate it.

Alright. And it's no problem. I couldn't leave you to return home by yourself in this condition.

[A faint smile] Let's walk slow. If want, you can hold my arm so you don't fall.

[That doesn't sound like a bad idea at all, actually. Cecilia will take that advice and take his arm, mainly to keep her own balance.]

Right. Oh, what's your name? I'm Cecilia.

[He smiles a bit more though its soft and he pats the hand that has his arm. Ready to walk now? Because he's going to take slow, careful steps now.]

I'm Sion. It's nice to meet you, Cecilia.

[With the help, it's not so bad; Cecilia can stay steady, better than she had before.]

It's nice to meet you too! I have to thank you again for doing this, it's nice to know there's always someone out there who doesn't mind helping.

[She's much the same, and would do just that if their roles were reversed.]

It's no problem. It's always my pleasure to help anyone in need. [Nezumi doesn't like that but Sion couldn't stop helping others even if he tried]

You were on one of their missions, I assume?

Yes, I was reading books and transferring their information. It was a lot of information to take in.

That must have been a frustrating mission.

[At least, to Kain it sounds that way.]

It wasn't bad the first few days. After, well... I've got more bandages on my fingers than I've ever had I think.

A difficult state to be in, indeed... but now that you're here, you can give them proper rest.

I will. I'll eat a lot too, to regain my strength, of course.

That certainly could help. I know I do so after a long time training.

[What he doesn't know is that even what he eats is probably barely half of what Cecilia does.]

It sounds like my friend is going to be making my favourite. I hope he has enough to make a lot.

[Not even 1/4, most likely. I mean seriously how is Kain like 132 pounds and Cecilia is like 100 and she eats a huge stack of plates and he probably only eats like 2 and he's what, 6'4" or something? GOD KAIN WHY ARE YOU SO WEIRD?]

What's your favourite food? Mine is chow mein.

[HE'S the weird one!? Kain would be astonished to see her true eating habits.]

Hmmm, well... I would say kebabs of any sort.

[Impaled food? BEST THING, to a dragoon.]

Oh, with meat and vegetables on them, right? I've had those a few times, if the chefs at the abbey wanted to do something different.

Yes, that's right. They can have many different varieties of meats or vegetables on them... they're always good.

[Shove it on a stick, shove it in a fire. The Kain Highwind cooking method for everything.]

[Have an Eley looking rather concerned at the plea for help.]

...are you all right? What happened?

Ah... yes, just tired and hungry. The Malnosso had me helping them for a couple of weeks. It was tiring and I didn't get enough food.

Hm, I am sorry to hear that.

[He hadn't been here for very long but it was clear he already had less than high opinions about the Malnosso.]

If you are tired then you should continue to rest. Is there anyone nearby who can supply you with food?

Mm, Rudy and Jane are with me. I should be all right. I can, at the least say that what I was doing was easier than what I've heard about.

[Oh, well! Those are familiar names. That's reassuring to know at least. He nods.] You know Rudy and Jane? They seem like... good people. I am sure you will be safe with them.

I do, yes, they're from my world. They're very good people. Jane is... a little stubborn, but she has a good heart and cares about people. Did you meet them here?

Ah, I see. It must be reassuring to know there are people from your world here, people you can trust.

[He knows all about Jane's personality too, and despite his awkwardness he doesn't dislike her for it at least. He nods in answer to her question.]

Rudy was one of the first to welcome me when I arrived here. I met Jane later... after a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding? [With Jane, that's... not surprising at least.] What happened?

[He looks a little uncomfortable at the question... maybe a little embarrassed too.]

Ah, I found them after an accident. They had both fallen into the fountain and later I met them again in the clothes shop. Due to.. prior experiences I began to question their relationship. It seems they are just friends after all.
