[The feed starts off simple- just Yu in the shot, walking around. He seems to be carrying a bag over his shoulder and a plastic cup of steaming coffee in his hand. He was about to start talking but runs into one of the stray bots running around the city, cleaning, so there's a bit of commotion as he takes a seat in a nearby park.]

So. I have been here for a while. The uh... living isn't bad at all. But, [Yu shifts a bit nervously,] my powers aren't coming back. I feel considerably weaker here than when I was back home.

[He tries to keep the thought of his home away from him for now. He plays with the cup, twirling it between his fingers.]

I was wondering if there was some safe place for me to train my powers. Maybe that way I will manage to fix this imbalance I feel. I don't want to hurt anyone with my spells.

[Yu smiles brightly-] Feel free to send me a text about the place.

[It is a skill that needs to be shown before Yu can believe it.]

A strawberry cake? I could make and give you the entire cake. I just need to know if you want the usual, simple cake or strawberry shortcake.

[There's a big difference.]

[naturallywavy]

_{[ The driest look. Are you kidding him. ]}

Is there really an option here? Shortcake is the way to go.
_{[ He's a sweets expert. ]}

[wildlinks]

Well, people have different tastes. The regular strawberry cake is nice too.

[He recently met you, it's better to ask.]

[naturallywavy]

I have honestly never met somebody as considerate of you. Sugar is really freaking important to me so..
_{[ So he's picky about sweets but he doesn't want to admit that. ]}

[wildlinks]

Well, I will get something good in return right.

[...... right?]

Also, I like cooking so this is not a problem for me.

[naturallywavy]

If you ever just want to cook for anyone, I'll gladly eat it.
_{[ Look how he tactlessly mooches. Incredible. ]}

Yeah, I mean.. you'll be a samurai. Pretty cool, right? Impress your friends.

[wildlinks]

[Yu chuckles-]

Sure. I don't mind sharing some of my cooking with you. I usually end up cooking for two because that's how recipes are designed.

[Back home, he'd share his bentos on the rooftop with his friends. Damn, where did this nostalgia come from?]

It's less about me impressing my friends and more about being capable in battle.

[naturallywavy]

Capable in battle to.. protect others?
_{[ Cause that's a big deal to him. ]}

[wildlinks]

Of course. If my friends are in danger or other people I know, I don't want to be sitting around, doing nothing.

[Don't worry about that at all.]

[naturallywavy]

Do you got some of your friends here?
_{[ Cause Gintoki doesn't.
Well, he's got one. But Zura only kind of counts if you were to ask him. ]}

[wildlinks]

[There is a small pause. Then he shakes his head with a small, sad smile.]

I made friends with some people here, of course. But my closest friends are back home on Earth.

[naturallywavy]

Well, it's less to worry about at least.
_{[ Says Gintoki who is constantly fretting about his friends back home. ]}

Invest in those people you've made friends with here, then. They're people you can protect here.
_{[ Kind of speaking the obvious, but he's just reminding Yu. ]}
