Umi-chan... Hikaru left?

[soulofocean]

I'm not about to fall asleep on you, Rin. I just couldn't. Don't worry.

[revengeisalie]

Haha, okay... coming over now, then.

[soulofocean]

I'll have tea and cupcakes ready by then.

[revengeisalie]

Cupcakes, even?

[soulofocean]

Yeah! Why do people keep getting surprised when I tell them I bake cupcakes for breakfast?

[revengeisalie]

What, you still have to bake them? I thought you had some left over.

I guess I hadn't considered cupcakes as a type of breakfest yet.

[soulofocean]

I bake them fresh every morning. Muffins and bread too. Call me a maniac or something. Right now it's keeping me busy.

[revengeisalie]

Wow. That's some hard work there.

[soulofocean]

Not really. More like a pastime. I was teaching Hikaru too.

[revengeisalie]

Pretty cool, I'd say.

[soulofocean]

I SO plan to pick up where we left once we're together again.

[revengeisalie]

Sounds like a good plan.

[soulofocean]

One I plan to stick to no matter what this place decides to do next, let me tell you.

[revengeisalie]

But of course. Wouldn't think of it any other way.

[soulofocean]

You know me well. And Hikaru too. We're far more stubborn than these freaks. We'll defeat them.
