[The video comes on, and Taiwan's eyes look a little red-rimmed from crying, but she is trying to smile even so.] Ah, so... I-i'm not sure what the usual...way to... ah... [A pause while she visibly tries to keep from crying, her lip trembling somewhat] I know he wasn't here for [breath, a little hiccoughing kind of sound] very long,

[It's been a while since he's seen her, but Leoben is glad that Taiwan hasn't gone home at least.]

I'm sorry to hear about your brother.

[mei_blossom]

We can start by priming the yeast! We're going to need water and sugar...

[Action]

[patternprophet]

[Leoben nods, and starts to gather the ingredients as she lists them]

[A little bit later, once everything has been mixed together, Taiwan straightens and uses her sleeve to wipe at her forehead.] Phew! Kneading bread can get really tiring. I think it's your turn now, Leoben!

[Action]

[patternprophet]

Alright.

[He has to pause before he starts though, remembering to temper his strength otherwise he could break the bowl.]

[Action]

[mei_blossom]

Okay, you need to make sure you're folding the dough over itself... [peering over his shoulder on tiptoe, since she stepped aside to give him space]

[Action]

[patternprophet]

[He nods, taking Taiwan's advice. It's been a while since he's done this.]

I'd forgotten how much fun this was.

[Action]

[mei_blossom]

Yes, I guess this part is fun too. [Laughs a little bit at herself, at a stray thought]

[Action]

[patternprophet]

uh...how can I tell when it's done?

[Action]

[mei_blossom]

Oh, sorry, it's probably good now. We need to let it rise now... [Glancing around the house for someplace warm]

[Action]

[patternprophet]

Alright, sounds good.

[He goes to wash his hands again, since they're all covered with dough.]

Have you heard from your roommates?

[Action]

[mei_blossom]

Ah...no... [Pausing in the midst of wrapping the dough up in a cloth] Osaka was here too, but I haven't seen him around much. His things are still here.

[Action]

[patternprophet]

Osaka? I don't think I've met him so I can't say if I've seen him around.

[Action]

[mei_blossom]

He's pretty quiet usually, so that's not surprising.

[Action]

[patternprophet]

It's good to know that you're not on your own though.

[Action]

[mei_blossom]

T-there is that! But I'm not in the house as often and... [smiling] having people over to visit is really nice too!
