[It hurts. Too much to try use the video option. Or even audio. But. Well, she figures others should know. In case they might have been wondering, where Fai and Kurogane were. There is also the matter of housing now, whether she can still afford these rooms herself with what she has been given from ALASTAIR.]

I just thought everyone should know, in case they weren't aware already but. Fai-san and Kurogane-san have been sent on a different mission. I'm sorry if they had any plans with anyone. If they did, I could try help instead?

I should probably check and see how much this place is or if I need to find somewhere else to stay. I was just helping with the dishes, some cooking and cleaning for Fai-san and Kurogane-san in exchange before and they didn't mind. But I'm sure it'll be okay!

[She really didn't do this for pity. More so everyone could be aware their number is lower. She's not used to asking for help, but she will if she has to. Knows she needs to sometimes. And this is more advice as well, really. She's never had to consider accommodation herself after all. Sorting that out on her own.]

[viscontree]

Alright. Please don't hesitate to contact us for anything at all.

You'll be just fine.

[Sakura's so mature. Julius believes in her!]

[keystaff]

Thank you. And yes; I'm sure I'll be okay. Everyone here has been so nice and offering to help. So I'll figure something out.

[viscontree]

Good luck, Sakura.

Stay positive and believe in yourself.

[He isn't sure what Sakura needs at the moment, but he can at least give her some friendly advice.]

[keystaff]

I will! Or, I'm trying to. It's all we can do.

[In most any situation. None is quite so depressing or overwhelming if one simply tries to stay positive.]

[viscontree]

Do you need any help with preparations? I can put together a few supplies for you to use.

Just let me know what you need.

[keystaff]

Supplies? I don't think there's anything majorly important I don't already have. I was able to figure most all that when I first got here, and they helped. I'll let you know if I think of anything else though.

[viscontree]

Sounds like a plan.

We all need to help each other out when there's a lot going on.

[One person can only make it so far alone. ]

[keystaff]

We do. I'm sure if we help each other and work together, we'll manage to get through this.

[viscontree]

By the way, do you enjoy cooking?

You offered to do some chores so I wanted to know if it's fun for you.

[keystaff]

Oh, I do! I've been helping with the chores around the house for a while now. I have to help and do my part somehow, especially back home when dad can be away at work sometimes, and my brother can be busy with his school and trying to save for university.

My cooking might not be as good as dad's, but it can be fun, especially when we make things in class at school together.

[Or just making snacks after school with Kero when otherwise home alone.]

[viscontree]

Even hard work can be enjoyable for you. That's certainly interesting. Cooking sounds difficult to do.

You're quite talented, Sakura.

[He can't cook at all...this is amazing to him.]

[keystaff]

It can be fun if you make it a game or do chores with a friend! Cooking isn't too difficult, but I guess that could depend on what you're trying to make. Some dishes are easier than others.

[viscontree]

Preparing food the right way seems tough. If you waste it then it's a big loss for everyone.

Would you mind showing me how you do it sometime?

[keystaff]

It is. But I guess I just picked up a lot from sometimes helping dad in the kitchen while growing up.

I could come help with a meal at your place sometime, if you'd like.

[viscontree]

That'd be great. It'll be relaxing and I can learn from you too.
