[Accidental Video]

[There's a clatter and the video starts with an odd vantage point of hands cooking something in a wok. It's rather obvious that their owner isn't used to the task. A soft voice hums absently in the background, then stops with pleased surprise.] ...Hey! Great, you're early! Welcome home.

[Aya walks into the kitchen and stares

[cry_reaper]

Are you alright?

Oh hai thar ♥

[soulofocean]

...Just kind of happy that it didn't turn out worse. So yeah! Alright, I guess.

[cry_reaper]

That's good to hear. I'm sorry, I know this sounds strange, we've met, right?

[soulofocean]

...Not... quite. Or something.

I think it was during a weird curse. But... you're Mara, right?

[cry_reaper]

Yes, I'm Mara. I'm sorry, I don't remember your name...

[soulofocean]

It's Umi. Um... Maybe Ken's mentioned me before. It's good to talk to you at last.

[cry_reaper]

Oh, oh! Yes, Umi, I remember now. You... were you there when Euphemia... when she shot Ken?

[soulofocean]

[There's a little pause. Why have all their previous meetings been both fleeting and awful?]

...That's right. I was there too. Sorry that has to come to mind because of me.

[cry_reaper]

It's hardly your fault, this place seems inclined to the awkward and painful meeting.

[soulofocean]

...Aw, I've had that happen to me a couple of times before. But hey. At least this once it's just a ruined meal!

[cry_reaper]

Hardly a tragedy, I agree.

[soulofocean]

Aya knows how to react fast. Even if I couldn't d ...Things didn't get the chance to get ugly.

[cry_reaper]

I think that's why I eat mostly delivery.

[soulofocean]

I hear you there. That'd... pretty much be the story of my life, if I didn't always manage to live with someone who CAN cook.

[cry_reaper]

You've been luck in that, then.

[soulofocean]

Ken can cook! I'd say you're the luckiest of us two. [And obviously not just because he can cook.]
