Then we'll make omurice.

[ It's one of the things he mentioned, after all, so it's fine. ]

What should I call you?

[saudadist]

[ She hesitates, briefly. Fighting down the urge to snark at him for not giving his own name first. ]

Kaede.

[anti_altruisms]

[ Archer nods once. ]

Kaede, then. I'm Archer.

Have you been here long?

[saudadist]

Since...December.

[ As the realization sinks in, her face blanches. Her gaze is distant.

Good lord, six months...? ]

Yeah, a while.

[anti_altruisms]

[ Six months isn't that long to an ageless spirit, but in this place, he could see how that would be a while. ]

That bad, is it?

[ Not that he assumed otherwise, but her reaction is telling. ]

[saudadist]

Better than the other place.

[ For many reasons. ]

I just hadn't thought it'd been that long. Time flies when you don't have to fight for your life every single day.

[ It's actually funny to think about. Sure, she's had to fight kaiju, but that's not a daily occurrence and it's not just her doing all the fighting. She can actually rely on the others...bizarre. ]
