[The video comes on, and Taiwan's eyes look a little red-rimmed from crying, but she is trying to smile even so.] Ah, so... I-i'm not sure what the usual...way to... ah... [A pause while she visibly tries to keep from crying, her lip trembling somewhat] I know he wasn't here for [breath, a little hiccoughing kind of sound] very long,

[It's been a while since he's seen her, but Leoben is glad that Taiwan hasn't gone home at least.]

I'm sorry to hear about your brother.

[mei_blossom]

L-leoben! [Okay, she's a little embarrassed now, but she quickly wipes her eyes] I-it's all right, I mean... I'm used to being away from him but it was nice um...while he was here S-so how have you been doing?

[patternprophet]

[He kind of looks away. He didn't mean to make her embarrassed.]

It's good...that you got to see him again though. [As tense as things are between them, he wouldn't mind seeing his siblings again]

Things...things have been better.

[mei_blossom]

[She would much rather change the subject, thank you very much!] Really? What happened to you? So many strange things have been happening, with the eclipse and the... [she doesn't even know how to refer to that weird massacre] and now the wishes aren't working properly again...

[seethelanterns]

Your brother went home....? I'm sorry, Taiwan. I know I'd miss Mother if she left....

[mei_blossom]

T-thank you, Rapunzel... I-i mean, I've been by myself here for a while so...

[L-let's not talk about that-!]

You must miss your mother a lot since you've been here...

[seethelanterns]

If there's anything I can do to help.....

Well, yes. I do. I wasn't really expecting to be away this long when I left.....

[mei_blossom]

Thank you for the offer it...it's really appreciated.

You've gotten to do a lot of new things though, right? I remember before...I resented my brother a little bit for never letting me try out the things I wanted to...

[lightcharms]

Taiwan...will you be okay?

[mei_blossom]

A-ah, Dawn-! [Puts on a brave, genuine, if slightly shaky smile] I-i'll be all right, it was just a bit of a shock today...

[lightcharms]

[she's still concerned but that smile reassures her that Taiwan would get through it]

I understand. It's hard when friends--brothers leave.

[then she offers a smile]

Would you like to go shopping with me? I find hanging out with friends and doing things together helps take your mind off things.

[mei_blossom]

[Oh yay it's so easy to cheer her up] Okay! That sounds great! When do you want to go?

[disasterroar]

I'm sure you'll see him again sometime soon, so please, don't be sad.

[he doesn't you to be sad, Taiwan ;; ]

[mei_blossom]

[She really didn't expect so much concern...] T-thank you, Mao! I'm sure I will! Anything is possible, right?

[Video]

[disasterroar]

Of course it is! Especially here!

[Video]

[mei_blossom]

Right! [have a smile for cheering her up a little bit] Ah, Mao... I'm going to be baking this afternoon, so feel free to stop by if you want anything, okay?

Y-yes, thank you for asking... [She's a little embarrassed by all the questions, but it's nice too] H-how have you been, Firo?
