[This past week, anyone trying to go to the okonomiyaki restaurant would find it closed, courtesy of the Malnosso kidnapping the owner and cook. However, that has changed today, today the restaurant is wide open, with a menu sheet on the door for everyone to see, it's the same menu as always though a lot of dishes seem to have been stroke out

I see plenty of people have offered, but I'd be more than happy to help you.

Oh! Are you okay by yourself at the restaurant? Is anyone else with you?

[Voice]

[justonename]

But Ginia-neesan already helps me a lot, I always have to read what you say! That's helpful, right?

And yes, there are some customers!

[That totally counts as others being with him, except that she meant regarding taking care of the place, specifying that would have been a good idea.]

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

Yes, that is, but I can help you with your handwriting if you want me to.

That's good! Is there anyone watching over you or helping you cook?

[Voice]

[justonename]

I want to! Oh... But then it won't be a surprise that I get better at writing.

[Okay, maybe he should have thought that better if he really wanted it to be a surprise for anyone that's in Luceti.]

Oh, well, it'll be fun anyway.

[And with how many people are willing to try and help him he will probably get better easily. Or so he hopes... Maybe he should be starting now and answering them with writing? But he didn't bring a pencil with him, there has to be one at the restaurant though. Ginia may hear the sounds of the child looking everywhere in search of a pen or a pencil, and his voice sounding a bit more far away than before when he answers again.]

No, it's just me cooking and taking care of the customers. Ucchan was taken by the droids... I think. She's gone but her things are still at home, it's different than from when people go back to the place they are from, right?

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

All right, how about I let someone else help you with your writing so you can surprise me with it? I can [A small pause as she thinks about what she could do.] find books for you to read?

Do you need help? I'm sure it's a lot of work for a young boy. [And dangerous. Very dangerous. Ginia's probably already getting ready to head out.]

Yes, it's different. She'll be back, soon, I hope. When was she taken?

[Voice]

[justonename]

[But she knows already he's going to learn it to surprise her with it! Does it still count as a surprise?

Yep, it totally counts. Goku smiles brightly.]

Okay!! I want to get better at reading too, so I can read you more easily and faster!

Uhm... I wasn't able to see her anymore since Tuesday, it has been almost a week, do you think they will be done with her soon? I hope they don't hurt her.

[Written] I'm so sorry for how long it took to tag back.

[shadedsunlight]

[Yes, it's still very much a surprise.]

I'll begin looking for books at the library. I've seen a few I remember reading when I was young.

I hope she comes back soon and I hope she's safe. I'm sorry, I can't say how long they'll keep her, but it doesn't seem to be for too long.

[Voice] Long, what long? /huggles

[justonename]

Okay! I would like to read the things Ginia-neesan has read. How were you when you were young?

[He knows adults were kids once but he can't really grasp his mind over it completely. It's hard to imagine Konzen as a child for example.]

I hope so too, but I'll take good care of the shop meanwhile! ... Maybe she will come back earlier that way. As a prize? If I'm good enough...

[Written] /huggles

[shadedsunlight]

Me? I was very quiet. I spent a lot of time reading or watching my father work. I also used to dance.

Do you need some help at the shop? I have a bit of time to spare. maybe. If I were her, I'd want to come back right away so I could see the job you've done and give you a great big hug.

[Voice]

[justonename]

You're quiet now too but I like you anyway. Ah! I also liked to watch Konzen work! A bit... He looked specially happy when putting stamps on documents... Not so happy when i did it but...

Uhm, what's to dance?

[Guess who has never done that.]

There aren't many people now, but if you come I can make you something!

[Aka monkey is lonely and he heard you have time to spare, spare it with giving him company?]

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

My father was a bartender. He made drinks for people and told stories. I'd sit and watch him make and serve drinks. He didn't let me make anything until I was older.

Dancing is a type of art, but it involves moving, usually with music. It can be a lot of fun.

You don't have to make me anything, but I'll be right over.

[Voice]

[justonename]

Why didn't he let you? Ucchan lets me do some things, more and more as I learn.

[Goku smiles at the description of what dancing is.]

I like music! And drawing pictures! I want to try dancing too, what do I have to do?

But... If you're hungry I can make you something... It's practice... And it would be made by me...

[Don't you want to see what he can do?]

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

There were other things he let me help out, but there are some drinks that can only be mixed by adults, and I wasn't supposed to be around at night. He would have gotten in trouble.

It's all in movement. Finding the rhythm in music, moving along with it.

[Oh, Goku. Ginia chuckles softly, remembering again she is talking to a child.]

Now that I think about it, I am a little hungry. All right, I'll be over and I'll watch you make something.

[Voice]

[justonename]

That sounds really strict, why would he get in trouble if you stayed around at night? Because you went late to sleep?

Hmmm... So the rhythm is hidden in the music?

[He's literally imagining himself having to search for something. Anyway, the kid clearly cheers up when she says the last part.]

Really?! Then don't worry! I'll make you the best okonomiyaki I can make! It's really good and tasty! Ucchan's are better but I like eating mine too and I'm very serious with food!

[Written]

[shadedsunlight]

That was one part, but there are also some places kids aren't allowed to be at night.

[Her handwriting gets a little shaky as she begins walking to the okonomiyaki restaurant.]

It easy to tell on some songs. This is something easier demonstrated, I'll show you sometime.

I can't wait to try it. I don't think I've ever had okonomiyaki before. What is it?

[Voice]

[justonename]

That's not fair! Why are there places like that? There aren't places where adults aren't allowed at any time!

[The unfairness of the adult dominated world.]

Okay! I want to see Ginia-neesan dance! We can dance together too. It would be fun!

Uhm... It's almost like pancakes but better and you can put anything on it. Vegetables, meat, sauces, there are no two okonomiyakis exactly the same! ... Unless you order them like that but that doesn't count.
