[Action]

[In the late afternoon, the hotel main entrance door opened to reveal a very tired looking Saori. Her dress is in tatters and her hair is in a mess. There's dried blood on her hands as well. She coughs and looks up into the lobby.]

S-somehow I'm back...

[And then she promptly collapsed by the doorway.]

[After getting cleaned up, she's back in her hotel room, at her desk.]

Apparently, I've been gone for sometime. More than a week, I believe. I'm sorry if my absence has trouble people. I swear I won't ever let it happen again. So...is there anyone who could possibly fill me on what I missed?

S-Saori! Shit, I was starting to wonder if...

[needsteaplz.livejournal.com]

Kaiji... I need to apologize to you the most. I shouldn't have subjected you to watching me...getting killed by the zombies.

Are you mad at me?

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

Mad? Nah, glad to see you alive again, more like. I was more pissed at myself for lettin' them get at you.

[She softly smiles.]

I'm just glad you're alright.

Let me make it up to you somehow. It's because I chose to die, I put you in that situation. I don't want you to beat yourself up for something I chose to do.

You don't gotta worry about me, I should be the one saying that. I'm just glad to hear you and everyone else is alive and okay.

[Sorry, Kaiji, but she insists.]

No, Kaiji, I really feel like I owe you a lot. No one should have to see someone die like that. I can do cooking and other tasks. Just say it and I can do it.

[He sighs. Turning down home-cooked food is tough. He survives off of pizza and ramen noodle packs.]

If you insist, but don't feel like ya gotta go out of your way for me.

[If Saori ever found out that, she would just instantly go all motherly on him.]

Don't sweat it. I like cooking for others. If you want something in particular, I'd be glad to make it whenever you want.

[One of the main reasons Kaiji hasn't left Prospero - he gets a lot of free food here.] Yeah? I ain't really picky, trust me.

[Just a warning: once you had her food, Kaiji, you're never going back to that. She laughs.]

Maybe it would've been easier to ask if there's anything you don't like to eat. Alright, I'll see what I can do.
