Open statement.

[shes_my_master]

To the camper or campers who stole this humble maid's cutlery from the Mess Hall: please return it, hopefully undamaged, as soon as possible. I'm not particularly angry at the need to play a practical joke, but it's very difficult to prepare meals without some sort of knife. This maid is at quite a disadvantage

It would be inconvient for food not to be made because of this. Can you return them in the same condition they're given?

[shes_my_master]

Of course! Washed and sharpened, if you prefer. ♥

[idle_traveller]

A washing would be good, but I prefer to sharpen them myself. Thank you.

[a knife...a switchblade...a dagger...a smaller knife...another smaller knife] Which ever would serve best.

[shes_my_master]

Aren't you sweet! Thank you. ♥

What's your name? This former maid is humbly referred to as Kohaku. Have you been at camp long?

[idle_traveller]

I-- You're welcome.

Kino. It is nice to meet you, Kohaku. A few months, and you?

[shes_my_master]

How nice it is to meet you, Kino-sama! *and, selecting a more 'normal' knife now*

Oh, myself? I'd say... about a year and a half by now? Perhaps more, perhaps less.

[idle_traveller]

Ah, you don't have to be quite that formal. [pocketing the rest then]

A long amount of time either way. You're well versed with camp then I imagine.

[shes_my_master]

Kino-san, then?

In many ways, I suppose. Some more agreeable than others.

[idle_traveller]

Yes, that's fine.

Oh? How so?

[shes_my_master]

Kohaku's family has increased many times over since arriving at camp! And it's nice to be able to contribute my skills at cooking in a way everyone appreciates. ♥

[idle_traveller]

How fortunate for you, and that's very kind. You do seem to be a good chef.

[shes_my_master]

A true chef wouldn't be at such a loss when simple cooking utensils had gone missing. But, thank you for the compliment.

[idle_traveller]

A knife is rather essential, so I believe it's alright. You're welcome.

[shes_my_master]

Kohaku's glad such a polite young man is at camp.

[idle_traveller]

Ah, I'm not a man.

[shes_my_master]

...Ara. You're not?
