[The video opens up to a familiar living room, photographs and papers scattered around. Then Rei steps into view, giving a little wave. She's looking much better, though maybe still a tad pale]

I'm walking on my own again! [Granted her walking is still a little stiff, but her determination won out in the end] I'm recovering a little slower then I'

That's wonderful!

Thank you, Ram. [She smiles] And how are you?

[r_a_m_1982]

Doing well, thanks. Enjoying all the present and food people gave me for Christmas. Once you are better we can go ice skating. I'm still learning, but Zelos is good at it.

Ice skating? I don't think I've ever been. You'll have to teach me!

[r_a_m_1982]

[You don't want Ram to teach you, Rei :|] Of course, no problem.

And then we can have hot chocolate afterwards to warm ourselves up.

[r_a_m_1982]

I would love that. [yay sweets.] What's your favorite food?

[cursed_tattoo]

Favorite food? [She's never thought about it before] Hm...

I haven't had it in a while, but I really like okonomiyaki. It's sort of like the pancakes a lot of people eat for breakfast here; the batter's made of flour, water, and egg with shredded cabbage, meat or squid, grilled on a hot plate and topped with special sauce and mayonnaise.

The ingredients vary a little depending on who's making it, and you can add whatever other ingredients you want, usually.

I never tried that one. It's a japanese dish? Sounds very tasty, but what's a squid?

[cursed_tattoo]

A Japanese dish, yes.

[How does one explain a squid] It's an animal that lives in the sea. It has a big head and tentacles. I know octopus has 8 tentacles, but I'm not sure how many a squid has...

[r_a_m_1982]

I need to try more of those, they're really yummy.

[It's a weird animal!] I think I eat octopus before.
