[Suit yourself. Ginia glances from his knife to the birds as she opens up the topmost box. Four colorful lumps of mochi sit in little wrappers, two of them with decorations to make it look like a rabbit. How cute. She bites one rabbit mochi in half in a single bite, chewing the sticky sweet furiously.]
You've seen more of these than I have, but I think it's fine. The distractions.
[She looks off at a group of white-and-gold garbed shinki. They're all young children, the oldest no more than eleven, twelve, the youngest maybe four or five. But they're laughing and playing as they chase each other, practicing their borderlines. Ginia lightly tosses the half-eaten piece of mochi in the air, easily catching it and tossing it into her mouth.]
Maybe I've had mochi before. Maybe I haven't. But I know I've had it now and I know I want more. Let me have this memory when I don't have anything else. Let me have the distractions before I go back to my usual day to day.
[It's the most she's said in one go and even Ginia seems a bit surprised as her words settle in her lap, quickly busying her hands by cutting more pear pieces for the birds.]
