Good afternoon, everyone. Please excuse my change of name: this is Cho Hakkai.

I appear to have reappeared. Although I don't want to give undue hope to anyone who's recently lost a god or shinki, I'd like to announce that my classes will be continuing as usual.

To those who were living upstairs at the school the past few days, I expect you to help me clean up the mess. You know who you are.

[There are animal cracker crumbs everywhere.

And apart from that he's just not going to mention the events of last few days. At least he wasn't an actual child, but....]

Does anyone have an idea what might have caused it? I'm certain I felt something in the air for a few hours before it happened.

I believe I can come up with something involving tuna. Is there anything you can't eat?

[It makes sense that a mermaid would prefer fish-based dishes. He might throw in a seaweed salad to appeal....]

Have not found out! [It's said cheerfully though] Eh, do not like some cakes... Some sweets too sweet. But, will try anything! I like food.

[If she fills her stomach she can fill the emptiness of her soul.

Okay no, not quite that dramatic, but who doesn't like good food?]

If there is one thing humans can do right, it is food.

They do have a talent for it, don't they?

[Who doesn't like good food? -- Well, some people care more about quantity than quality, but they're not as fun to cook for.]

And I'm sure it's difficult to do any cooking at all underwater.

Do not cook. Just eat!

Did not have cooked food until-- [A brief stumble in her speech, a moment of hesitation, before she continues a bit slower] Until taken to surface. Humans fed me some things.

But, food found here in this, ehh... World? Much better!

[Well, that's a good reason not to like humans, isn't it? She'd stumbled over the explanation. Hakkai doesn't push.

(She, after all, had been respectful of his past.)

Instead, lightly, he continues.]

It is one of the things humans do well. I wouldn't mind showing you how to cook if you're curious!

[Oona looks tempted a moment, but her smile manages to be both sly and cheeky]

But, if learn to cook, can not make others do it for me! [Sheesh, Hakkai, are you TRYING to make her NOT LAZY?]

[He laughs merrily.]

Oh no, much to the contrary! If you learn to cook, you can use it as leverage to make people do all sorts of favors for you.

[... Like, for instance, test mysterious medicines.]
