[Action]

[When Izumo finds herself back in the village post-mallynap, the first thing she does is head home--she'll talk to Rin and Shiemi if they're around, but regardless she doesn't wind up staying too long. Why? Because after searching the house, she's come to realize that the fox kit she got for Christmas is missing. Hoping he hadn't been gone for too long or gotten too far, she'll wander the village asking people if they've seen a tiny gray fox in town lately.]

[Later in the day Izumo sits in her room, making sure to keep the fox close now that she's retrieved him--after a lot of searching, she found him with Ran Fan.]

I've had a long day and I don't think going to the library would do me much good anyway, so I'm just going to ask--does anyone know what kinds of foods are best to eat when you can't smell?

[Izumo lets out a sigh, pausing for a minute as the baby fox tries to crawl up her and onto her shoulder...which frankly wouldn't make a very good perch for him.] Get down...

[Grabbing him and placing him in her lap, she returns her focus to her journal.]

...Anyway, before anyone stupid asks? Yes, smell and taste are connected.

[...Alright then.]

Yeah, so. There you go.

Look, if you really lost your sense of smell, none of this is going to be that helpful. Eat up whatever foods you never really want to have while you have the chance. It won't matter.

[Voice]

[bossybrows]

...While I have the chance?

[Voice]

[mysicksadlife]

To use it up while you won't have to taste it. Trust me, I wished for something like that more than once with my dad's cooking back home.

[Voice]

[bossybrows]

Point taken. I live with a pretty good cook, luckily.

[Voice]

[mysicksadlife]

[Luckily, indeed. Daria can get a meal on the table, but her cooking's nothing to write home about. If she could write home at all.]

I was wondering. I've heard of things like that happening, losing your taste or whatever. Does it happen often?

[Voice]

[bossybrows]

First time it's happened to me, and I've only been here a few months so...I'm not the best person to ask.

[Voice]

[mysicksadlife]

Got it.

Um. They say you'll get better after awhile. Would you mind telling me when, if you do?

[Voice]

[bossybrows]

I suppose not. Hopefully it'll be sooner rather than later.

[Voice]

[mysicksadlife]

Yeah. I hope so, too. [This is a slightly selfish thought, since she's hoping it mostly to be able to believe anything that happens to her could also be short-lived. But it's sincere enough, as far as that goes.]
