"I don't know much about cooking sweet things, so I couldn't help you there..." I say. "That and the only sweet thing we would have would be putting some fresh honey in our drinks if we happened to get any from our hunts."

I give out a contented purr, closing my eyes like a pampered cat. "I know a lot of sweet treats! You could help me make creme brulee; the last step is burning the top with a blowtorch, it's fun to make, and delicious!" I say to Misaki.

I stare at Ayumu incredulously. How can someone who was a slave to a demon be so friendly? How can Ayumu... be so forgiving to someone who hurt him? As much as I understand social dynamics... This I don't understand.

I tense up when Ayumu hugs me. "I never had a loving family... affection is new to me."

He looked at chi and smiled"maybe cause water in general is peaceful it only becomes violent when provoked, like a mommy bear protecting her cubs"he said slowly lifting up his arm and licked it, something about animals always made him wanna act like a cat.

Nekora:
"Mmm, that sounds good," the medic says as she works on your mid-back. "You should make something for me someday. That could be the favor you owe me."
Chi & Ayumu:
As you sit by the koi pond, you both realize that a few people are standing nearby, and some are meditating on the far side of the area. None of these people were here a moment ago...

I simply observe them since many don't take kindly to someone interrupting their meditation.

"Well... people meditate for various reasons. People of many religions meditate to achieve a temporary hightened spiritual state to contact spiritual guides and such. But I think the main reason to meditate is to find inner peace, inner stability, hightened awareness, and tranquility that we often cannot find elsewhere. I meditate when I'm upset. Doing so not only helps me calm down, it also provides me an opportunity to get a new or broader persective on things because I can think more clearly without all the ruckus, stimulation, and racing thoughts of every day life. Doctors often advise patients with heart problems to do yoga or meditate because it's relaxing and can help reduce blood pressure. It can also help stabilize the moods of people with emotional problems. Recent research even suggests that it can help increase attention span. So there's a lot of reasons for it."
