Hey, everyone! Akamatsu Kaede here! Or.....Kaede Akamatsu if you're not Japanese, I guess. [She laughs at that.] Anyway, I hope everyone's settling in okay. It's pretty scary for a lot of us, being in a new world and all. Still, that's why us guys all have to stick together and work together. If we do that, then we'll all find some way to get home, so chins up!

Anyway, talking of working together, how many of you guys have the Bard Asterisk? I was talking with Monika-san not long ago at the bard's guild and it seems that a lot of bards are pretty protective of their instruments. And while I kinda get that you don't want to damage your instrument, it's kind of a pain having to put it down to get out your knife and start fighting. Also, is it really worth getting hurt for the sake of protecting your instrument? That said, fixing those things can be pretty expensive so it's kind of a dilemma.

So Monika-san came up with a great idea. How about we start an instrument repair funding group where we pool all our gil together? That way, we protect our instruments but save up on cash while doing so! Hmmm.....what do you think, guys?

I had no idea you were so domestic, kupo...

[ Lelouch shrugs at Mogya, who seems to be recording. There's nothing fancy here. Just Lelouch wearing an apron and cutting up some fish. Neither one of them seem to notice it, but there's a third set of eyes. An otter lurks. Clearly up to no good. ]

Can you really call yourself independent if you can't manage at least this much?

[ Unfortunately, it's enough of a distraction. That otter dashes forward, snatching up a few fish chunks along the way. Both Mogya and Lelouch startle, but the later seems to recover faster. He shouts, hand shooting out to grab the pet by the scruff with his hand out. ]

Drop it! [ Not that the otter seems to be interested in that. It shakes its head. Actively turning it's mouth away from that open hand. ] I said drop it. Don't make me -

Lelouch!

[ And then there's Euphy coming into the room. Not looking too happy. Lelouch stammers, long enough for the otter to break free and leap into Euphy's arms. ]

Don't you yell at it! It was just hungry.

But it was -

You should be kinder to your companion! There's no reason to let him starve. There, there. It's alright, you just wanted some food, didn't you? Poor, sweet little guy...

[ She turns on her heel, leaving. Otter still in her arms. Lelouch rubs at his face in irritation. Mogya just starts laughing. ]

So much for trying to catch a video of you cooking, kupo.

[ His gaze snaps right back to the Moogle. ]

You were what?
