Welcome to Gaia! ::

Umi wasn't happy. "So...I'll never see you again?"
Raiden chuckled. "As much as our mutually macho friend over here would like to get rid of me, no. I'm not leaving for good. I'll visit you often, whenever I can yank myself away from my duties...which are probably building up as I speak. And...one more piece of good news. After his death, Susanou revoked all rights he had to that name. It was origionally my Father's, you know. Since then, your brother has gone back to his actual name, Kazejin." Raiden smiled. "I have a feeling you'll be seeing a lot more of those three in the future." He bent over and kissed Umi on the cheek. "So until we see each other again, take care, milady." He stood up, thought about it, and pecked Greed on the cheek as he left. "Bye, dear. Don't miss me too much!" He cackled as he ran out the door.

Umi giggled at Greed. "I think he likes you."

Umi started laughing. She laughed so hard she started to cry. She cried and cried, and eventually her laughter turned to sobs.

"I-I can't help it," she sobbed. "I feel so alone now...even with you here. So much has changed...so many people I loved are gone. But...I have you...so I'm not truly alone, I guess."

Umi sniffed her tears away. "You're right..." She smiled. "I guess I just let my guilt get the better of me...you're right, of course." She stood up. "Now...how do you like your eggs?"

Umi spent the next little bit showing Greed how to properly cook food. She giggled as he glared at the pans.
"They're not your enemy, Greed," she said giggling. "You look at them like they did something wrong to you!"

Umi gently took Greed's hands. "This spoon," she said, holding up the hand that was holding the slotted spoon, "Is for when you take something out of water. This one," she continued, holding up the other hand. "Is for everything else. Like stirring, or scraping."
