[Lots of scratching noises as if something is being rubbed across the speaker.]

Um... how do I know if...?

I guess it's... hello? This is Yona. I was told you can leave me messages here. [Under her breath.] Let's just hope I can figure out how to check them later...

[A little too loudly.]

BYE!

[Yona feels the worry emanating from him before it makes itself visible on his face.]

Mmn. [She shakes her head once back and forth, the smile still evident in her expression.] You did nothing wrong. It was out of our control. [It still is. This helplessness, to be at the mercy of some unknown entity or entities, it plagues her every breath, awake or asleep.

Yona is silent for awhile, his words provoking thoughts of her own. She's allowed these thoughts to consume her for many months, wondering even if it was possible that her mother might be brought to Haven or, now, Inugami. People from her past or people from her country's past, whether they have crossed her path at some point in her life, she finds it peculiar that in all her time being held captive, she or her close companions have known every single one of the people from their world that has appeared.

Yona spent a lot of time in Haven making sure there was no one else, even the people she didn't recognize, from Kouka, Kai empire, Sei, or Xing. She didn't find one person. And yet, here they are, her friends and their friends. Why?

Even with the ability to write, communicating in Inugami is a little more difficult than she anticipated. In Haven, there were moving picture and sound broadcasts frequently, and it was a convenient way to get to know other people. The bulletin board serves the same purpose, but isn't as efficient.]

It's odd that the only people here from our world are connected in some way to us, and we to them. In Haven and, as far as I know, Inugami I haven't come across a single stranger from Kouka, the neighboring countries, or empire.

[To his suggestion, Yona nods again.]

Good idea, Kija.

[ ! ]

I-It is nothing at all.

[ Flustered, he glances off in the other direction. Why is it that when she praises him he feels like he could fly? He can't help but to swell up with happiness. No matter the circumstances, he's glad to be at her side, and able to help guard and defend her, even in a place like this. ]

Is there anywhere you would like to go first? While we search, it does not mean that we cannot still set out to accomplish your goals for the day.

[Even though she is very alert and hyper-aware of all the new faces she's seen and might see today, Yona doesn't let it show. Kija is already worried about the possibility of someone else arriving from their world. She doesn't want to cause him anymore apprehension than he might be feeling.]

My goal is to spend time with Kija today. [She smiles widely at him.] Hmmm. We could check the cafeteria. There are usually a lot of people there. And perhaps the bulletin board. I imagine it's quite crowded and widely used on a day like today.

[ TH-THUMP TH-THUMP TH-THUMP TH-THUMP

In any second he's sure his heart is going to burst right open. It really is swelling and racing out of control. Her goal, she genuinely wants to spend the day with him, those are her words... ]

O-Oh, then I am honored, and thank you.

[ Just incredibly happy is all. ]

The cafeteria sounds like a good place to start. While there we can get something to eat along the way.

[ To be honest he's a little hungry, and well- he likes food in general. ]

The convenience of food here is very nice. Until I left my village I did not realize to the extent that people went without. I wish that we knew where the food in this place comes from. If we were able to figure out the techniques they implement here, it would help many people back home.

[It certainly beats eating everything out of a can. That's for sure. And there are so many tasty dishes that she's been able to try here. In this regard, living in Inugami has been a lot easier than living in Haven. Yoon would be so interested in the different cuisine served in the cafeteria.

Yona smiles thoughtfully.]

Ah, but there is the International Cooking Club and the Baking Bad club. I've been learning lots of new things in those clubs. I know how to use an oven [~~in theory and while being supervised~~] and it's a lot of fun~! If it's techniques you want, those are the places to learn them!

[But he's right. It is pretty weird to be eating the food prepared by people they never really see. She wonders if any of the meals come from a can. Everything was so new in Haven and now in Inugami that she cannot tell from the taste alone.]

[ He lifts a hand up to his heart, giving a polite incline of the head. They are clubs he's heard of before, and even peeked in on. But he hasn't joined them officially. She is enjoying them it sounds like, for which he can feel grateful. It's frustrating that she has become stuck here, and they have so far been helpless to get her out. So if there is something here that she can take happiness from, then he is grateful for it.]

If you think that they would be beneficial, then I would be happy to accompany you within these clubs.

Only if you're interested in that sort of thing.

[The truth is that she realized long ago that they all have their own strengths. In some ways, Yoon was the strongest of them all because he kept everyone in good health and well fed. They are managing here without him somehow, but Yona wants to be the type of person that can take care of others just as Yoon did.

Even though the technology here is different and she will never have an oven or microwave at her disposal in her own world, the more she learns, the more helpful she will become to her companions. Her physical strength has its limitations, but there is room for it to grow, and there will always be new strengths she can develop in Kouka and in Inugami.]

There are so many things... I want to share with Yoon. [The smile she wears dims a bit.] Even though I hope he is never brought to this place, I believe that we will all return to where we belong someday. And when we do, perhaps there is something I will be able to teach him. [For once.]
