Thank you to all you greeted me upon my arrival. Those who seem to recognize me (outside of Usagi-chan and Rei-chan), I do apologize that whatever memory I have of you and this place seems to have been erased.

I would like it very much if we were to resume our relations, however I may need to be re-introduced to several of you. I'd like it if I didn't rely on Usagi-chan entirely to learn about this place. She has better things to do than to baby-sit me.

[She says this with a nervous smile.]

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had a spare of any of the following I could borrow...

[Ami doesn't refer to a piece of paper, doesn't look up in thought - she recalls all of this like it was her birthday.]

A teapot, kosher salt, saline solution, syringes, eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, or menthol, butter, lotion, or petroleum jelly.

[That's it!]

I would greatly appreciate it. If you don't have them, if you have suggestions of places to search for said items, that would be helpful as well.

Oh, and, uh...

[She fiddles a bit with her communicator, and it goes out, except for--]

[Locked To Lestat]

Have you tasted any difference between royal blood and those of others?

[Ami smiles and nods.]

The former.

[angle_on_it]

Oh. Well, I can definitely help out with that. What are you planning on using it for, or is it a secret?

[video]

[aquaticbeauty.livejournal.com]

[Not so much a secret. It should be obvious.]

Cold remedies.

[Not so obvious to Sokka, sadly.]

That's a really good idea. Considering how few people around here are used to the cold, I'm thinking we're going to have a couple sick people before too long. [Like Sokka in a couple days...]

It's the way of things. Especially when it's cold, we all tend to come close together to stay warm. It's just asking to spread germs.

[angle_on_it]

Yeah, it really is. [A pause.] Is there anything else I can help with? I think I have some extra sweaters here, if you're looking to pass out some warm clothes to people who don't have any.

[This boy was such a sweet-heart! Ami smiles brightly and giggles a bit.]

If you have them to spare, why don't you pass them out? You deserve the warm feelings that comes from helping!

[angle_on_it]

I'm a really terrible judge of sizes and I learned a while time ago that girls don't like when you give them sweaters because they take it as fashion advice... So, honestly, I'd rather not.

[Ami brings a clasped hand to her mouth to stifle a giggle.]

Perhaps that is so, but under these particular circumstances, I imagine they would see through it to realize the practicality.

[Video]

[angle_on_it]

You'd think that, but... [Sokka laughs.] Really, I have pretty terrible luck in those aspects of life. Even here.

[Video]

[aquaticbeauty.livejournal.com]

Even with Usagi-chan? [Ami giggles.] That girl will take anything if it's offered as a gift!

[Video]

[angle_on_it]

Well, no, but... Usagi's an exception. An exceptional exception, at that.

[Video]

[aquaticbeauty.livejournal.com]

[Warm smile.]

She certainly is.

[Video]

[angle_on_it]

So, I guess the next time I see her, I'll send along that salt? Or do you need it sooner?

Re: [Video]

[aquaticbeauty.livejournal.com]

[Ami smiles and shrugs.] Whichever is more convenient for you!

I'm sure I'll see Usa soon enough -- I'll send it with her. Let me know if you need anything else, Ami! And good luck with the rest.
