[The video feed opens on part of the kitchen where there's a big stockpot sitting on the counter on a towel, and a few small bowls filled with soup are standing ready nearby. If anyone has known Genji for more than five minutes it's a shock that the rest of the kitchen isn't stacked to the ceiling with dirty dishes and there isn't food literally everywhere.

He cleans up nice sometimes.

While he's not visible at any point in the video, his slightly mechanical voice is pretty recognizable, so he doesn't think to introduce himself.]

Many of us have been sick, and the weather has become increasingly colder. I made butajiru, except without miso and without dashi because we do not have such things. So I suppose it is simply pork broth and vegetables.

In any case I made a lot, please help yourself, it is in the kitchen.

[Genji is capable of making exactly four items of food: porridge, tamagoyaki, waffles, and this. It's actually good too! Spoiled rich boy has learned himself some new skills.]

[ And she is! She arrives within a few minutes, bundled up in several layers of sweaters and a thick puffy coat, such that the only part of her left exposed is a pair of yellow eyes between a heavy brown scarf and a green knit cap topped with a pompom. This is clearly an outfit chosen for function over fashion. ]

[This is great. Everyone is eating soup, he helped in some small way that doesn't involve swords, and he's being social.

This was a good idea.]

Hello. I take it you are cold?

[He gives a small smile at the fully bundled up entity ahead of him. Genji is sitting on one of the counters with a cup of tea cradled in his hands. His helmet next to him, exposing the bright green hair and scarred face that's normally hidden from view.

His jaw is metal, black carbon fiber bolted into place against his temples, with more pieces of metal descending down his throat.

So far he hasn't recognized that this is his Mario Kart buddy.]

[ Genji, on the other hand, is impossible not to recognize, what with the robot parts and all. But this is the first time she's seen him without his helmet on. The green hair is actually what gets her attention first - she's not sure what she thought was under there, but it wasn't that! But a close second are, of course, the gnarly scars.

Whoa. She can't help staring for a second - what happened to you, my dude? But she knows better than to actually mention it. ]

What tipped you off? [ She tugs her scarf down to reveal the rest of her face, black lips and all, but she's smiling. ] But a nice hot bowl of soup ought to put a stop to that! Hi, Genji.

[arcadedragon]

You look like a marshmallow.

[ He grins, and if he was closer he would reach out and poke that very puffy jacket. Now that she's talking he recognizes the voice before she unwinds the scarf and reveals her face.]

That was the plan. Nice and hot on the inside to sustain us when it is cold out there.

[He sips his tea, keeping that warmth going from the soup he'd eaten earlier. Metal armor is terrible for keeping heat in.]

I also figured since I was not sick I should help those who are. No one wants to cook while they are ill. Or do anything for that matter. I do not even want to roll over in bed when I'm sick.

[The man-cold ain't got nothing on Genji.]
