I... I don't understand...

[The small, slender Japanese girl with the high ponytail and downtilted eyes might be familiar to some. She's standing in front of Heimdall House with a newcomer's letter in her hands, dressed in the same uniform as the first time she arrived, but it doesn't quite fit right anymore - she's gotten taller since she made it, started to fill out a little. At least in Asgard, which proves that she hasn't been completely reset.

The confusion on her face starts to contort into alarm as her words confirm that truth.]

Isn't - it over? I remember Freyr - when he - wasn't that the end? But now it's like none of it ever happened... the letter, and the maid, and everything looks just like the first time...

[And now edging into panic as she leans against one of the house's walls, wrapping her arms around her middle and shivering.]

What's going on?!

((ooc: and the thing is done ;D))

You better... [drumrolls...]

Or else! [Take that what you will]

[She grins and nods.]

Um, do you want to go in? It's pretty cold out here... I could make us some food or something.

[Normally Bianca would be the one inviting people over for food and somewhere to stay so when she's about to open her mouth to argue against it...

Whoops, there goes her stomach

For a moment, she stared at Nakama before laughing nervously at her]

Ah...m-maybe? You don't have to if you don't want to, I don't want to do that to you when you just got here! Maybe I'll make you food instead, what do you think?

[But Bianca, you can barely bake...]

No, it's okay, I like cooking. [She gives a comforting smile.] I'd rather have something to do right now than just sit around and try to figure everything out. You can help me out, if you want, would that make you feel better?

Mhmm, it would! It isn't fair that you're doing all the work, I want to help out too!

[Because that's just how Bianca rolls!]

So what are we going to make? Should I go get the ingredients for you?

There isn't a lot of fancy stuff here... and we should make something pretty quick, if you're that hungry. [She checks the cupboards and the fridge, re-orienting herself to the house kitchens.] Would a Western breakfast be okay? Eggs, bacon, toast?

Of course it would be okay and anything made by Nakama has to be really tasty!

Plus, I don't care if it's fancy or not, I'm just glad to have a chance to cook with you! So let's go, I don't want to keep you hungry either!

[And you know, hopefully not let anything explode or have anything burnt]

Oh gosh... [She blushes, shaking her head.] I'm not that great a cook, I just did it a lot at home. Now, how to get you started...

[Once the ingredients are all out and a big pan is warming, she cracks the eggs into a bowl and hands it, along with a fork, to Bianca.]

Just whip that up really well, until it's kind of frothy and the whites and yellows aren't separate anymore.

[She shakes her head]

I know that you are because you put a lot of work into everything you do! As long as you do that, I know that your cooking will be good!

[She takes look at the fork and right back at the bowl]

Oh, you mean scramble it up! I can do that, it looks easy enough! Here I go!

[Brb Bianca is now the scramble egg machine!]

I wish it was that easy. [She smiles ruefully.] You should see some of the cookies I've made.

[Once Bianca's settled into scrambling, Nakama starts the bacon, also putting on some water for tea.]

I remember when we got here - the first group, I mean - I offered to make breakfast for all the travellers in the city. I think everyone was still a bit scared and suspicious, because not many people came, but it was still nice. [She looks out the window thoughtfully, one hand still shifting the sizzling bacon back and forth.] I wanted to do the whole thing alone, but one of my friends insisted on helping me. That's how I started... letting people help.

[Blink blink, what?]

Eh? You too? Does that mean... [And she lean in closer to whisper in her ear] you burnt them too?

[As Bianca continues on scrambling, she watches as Nakama makes the tea and the bacon. Before she can can anything else, she simply listens to what her friend had to say.

As she did, the blond wasn't sure what to say back. Instead, she simply let out a soft smile]

But it's good that you're letting others help! Doing everything alone is a scary thing because you're always by yourself. And when that happens, you bottle up everything and do too much. That's just not right! Sometimes, there are things that you can't do by yourself!

[As she shouted, she started fumbling with her own steps in the kitchen. hgahggho! Whoops, almost sent the eggs flying!]

A-Ah...anyway, you shouldn't have to feel like you have to do everything alone again because we're all here to help! So if I see you doing that, you're going to make me and a lot of people sad! And you don't want that right?

[She laughs at the whisper.] A ton of them. And I made cupcakes that leaked right out of their cups and all over the pan because I didn't believe you could use so little filling. I've had some real disasters before I figured it all out.

[It's a speech she's heard plenty of times, in many different forms, but Bianca lays it out so simply that she's moved all over again. It was scary to be alone, even if she got used to it, and she knows now that she hurt and alienated people that she could've been closer to... in that brief time they had, which none of them realized would be so brief.

That's why no one likes you. Anko's harsh but so very true words.]

I'll remember. [Her voice is hoarse, and she quickly blinks away the moisture behind her eyelids.] I promise I'll remember.

[Suddenly, Bianca didn't feel so bad about all the times she was baking.]

Oh good, I thought I was the only one who didn't know how to bake! I've tried so many times but in the end, it always turned out burnt! So I was scared that I might be the only one who didn't since it seems like it was so easy!

[She's just cursed like that]

[If there's one thing she learned from her pokemon journey, doing everything by yourself isn't a good thing. In fact, she learned that she had to open up more and help other people. While others might have different opinions on how pokemon should be treated, in the end, helping them is above all.

So when she heard Nakama's voice cracking a bit, Bianca immediately went over to her with a small smile]

H-Hey, what's with that look? It's not a time to be sad, it's a time to be happy! So...it's...really okay...

[She laughs a little through her tears, charmed as always by Bianca's relentless optimism, and gives the girl a warm hug.]

I am happy, really. Everything is so weird right now... but I'm really happy.

[Bianca wasn't expecting a hug and at first, she was a little surprised by it! Nevertheless, she lets out a giggle and returns the hug! Hugs are never a bad thing and people can use more of it!]

And you'll continue on being happy! I'm here and so is everyone! I know Asgard isn't a good place to be sometimes but if there's one thing I'm happy about, it's that I got a chance to meet you and everyone here! So let's do our best okay?
