Rapunzel sets out to go to visit Retsu... )
She answered the door with a smile. "I am so glad you could come," she said warmly. She looked the girl over surreptitiously, both with her eyes, and with her inner senses. She was human, as far as Retsu could tell--a westerner, of course. But there was an odd feeling of power about her, one Retsu hadn't encountered before. The closest she had felt to it was the power of Orihime, the human girl who could heal. It confirmed her suspicions that this young woman's questions about healing were not simply theoretical.
As she motioned her in, she added, "I'm afraid I didn't catch your name earlier." She held her PORTAL in her hand, hoping it would handle the translation in face-to-face communications, just as it had earlier.

Rapunzel's PORTAL, a small book, was in her hand. "I'm Rapunzel." She said, wearing a bright smile on her face.
Retsu had such a nice expression, and the air around her felt safe and welcoming. She wished that she had someone like Retsu in her world, so she wouldn't feel so alone. Having her mother was important, but knowing there were other people like her made her wish she could've been around them.
"You know how to cook too?" She ask as she smelled the curry in the air. "What is that?" It wasn't a smell Rapunzel was used to, or smelled before.

"It's curry and rice--a common food, where I come from." She closed the door, motioning her to a cushion on the floor, beside a low table. "I find cooking quite relaxing, though I don't always have the time for it."

"Oh! I love cooking! It's one of my favorite hobbies!" Rapunzel wasn't used to being around people, so she still wasn't used to the concept that other people were interested in the same things she was.
Rapunzel took a seat next to Retsu, trying to copy how the other woman sat. It was so different, but Rapunzel was opening to trying new things. "How do you eat it?"

She smiled at the young woman's enthusiasm. "I didn't learn when I was young, but it was something I picked up while I was at the Academy." Cooking hadn't been seen as a necessary skill for a noblewoman, but it was acceptable for a shinigami.

"How can I make mine do what yours did?" She asked, after trying to get food a few times.

She offered Rapunzel a dumpling before eating in silence for a few moments. "You must have many questions," she asked as she looked up.

After finishing what she was chewing on, Rapunzel nodded. "I do." She answered. "I've never met someone else who could heal." She said it out loud before she had a chance to catch herself. She just blurted out her secret, and even though Retsu had been nothing but polite, Rapunzel was still nervous about Retsu's reaction.

"So... even humans can get these powers? That means, I wouldn't be the only one?" It was already clear that Rapunzel was talking about herself, so she wasn't going to hide it.
