[Early this nice morning, Kohaku had woken up very confused, with a whole jumble of new-ish memories. She didn't even start to walk around until she figured out how to make new holes in the back of her clothes again. But once she did, she found herself looking around the forest looking like a kid on Christmas morning. Oddly excited, oh so very curious, but very, very lost and confused. And instead of trying to remember anything so suddenly, she looks up to the tree she had been placed under.]

Might you know why I'm here? [The journal may not pick up any other sound than the wind, but Kohaku got one loud and clear.] Oh...that sounds familiar...Thank you.

[Once she got her answer, nothing else is heard over the journals. Instead she has started to roam, and memories of the forest had mostly came back to her as she almost instinctively finds her way to the village. Though by that time, she has already gathered a few friends.

As she walk around, it's almost impossible to not notice the pretty red birds. Each on one shoulder. And a bunny she's holding, carrying it ontop of her journal. Talking to them, and asking questions quite often. But she does have that confused look of a new feather, but at least not the clothes. Just don't mind her staring at you as you walk by, since she is trying her best to remember people now.

Eventually though, later in the day she can be found situated very neatly by the fountain, under a tree. Yes, sitting in the snow, still watching people, but she's finally remembers the most important thing. The book she's been carrying around all day!]

Uhm....hello? If I'm remembering this right, people can hear me!

I've been gone a very long time, but everything looks familiar so it might be longer for me than it was here. I would really like to know if some of my friends are still here, if that's not too much trouble.

...

Oh no, wait! I'm sorry, I'm supposed to introduce myself first... [She figures it's a bit too late, she she lets out an almost depressed sigh.] My name's Kohaku...I guess it's obvious I was here before now...

But that would only work for so long.

[Waait. She never thought of that...]

...Then just use my name? I don't know.

You overestimate how much people actually care about those things.

[Or is he the one underestimating it?]

Even if we just use your name, it will end being weird in a conversation. "Kohaku came back to day, I talked with Kohaku through the journals when Kohaku made a message and we met to go get food for Kohaku and some other groceries."

You think so? But people always seem to care about how they look.

[She doesn't understand why people wanna look younger, when she would be happy to look just a little older.]

You're right, that is weird...it's just that I'm not used to being called a girl or boy.

They do, but not so much about others. And even then if they ask I bet they are too busy envying you for not growing older to pay attention to your answer.

[Well, he doesn't understand why people want to live forever when he would be happy if he could die and stay dead.]

I get that, but humans don't have many ways to talk about people and things without labeling them. We put names to rivers and seas, that just shows how bad we have it.

Envy me?

[Yeah, that doesn't happen very often.]

I understand that, it's just something that is still strange to me.

Because you don't seem to grow older while they do.

[He shrugs.]

I guess you'll have to get used to it someday, or we find another way around it. I guess I could ask Kotomi if she knows of a way to talk about someone who doesn't have a gender.

But looking older isn't a bad thing.

I suppose getting used to it would be the best...but it's still hard to do.

It's not, but there are people who don't agree with that.

[Ikki scratches his head and moves to walk besides her, awkwardly patting her head a bit.]

You will manage, you're a clever and understanding g... Angel.

[He will try to not use female pronouns when around her, at least not out loud.]

Really? Why?

[She just can't understand it everybody gets old, so it can't be helped...And at the head pat, and correction he gets a laugh.]

You can say girl. I have to get used to it.

Beats me. If I could understand people I would deal with them more often.

[Not that he even wants to understand them.]

Hn, I guess you're right. See, you're clever, you can do it.

Oh...[That's not all that helpful.]

I'll try my best.

[He knows it's not.]

I'm sorry, I'm not helpful. Why don't you ask Smoker? He may know.

[Then again he may not, they aren't that different after all.]

Alright, I'll ask him later.

[Since you've got her curious.]

[He nods and continues on until he suddenly stops with a light frown.]

Wait. Can you get sick? Get a cold and such?

[Okay, that's a odd question that gets a confused look.]

I don't think so...why do you ask?

Nevermind.

[Moving on.]

I jut wasn't sure if we have enough blankets for this season, but if you can't get sick it won't hurt to wait until tomorrow to get them.

Oh, that's fine. I'll be alright.
