[the mirror shows a bit of an odd sight: Gal, wearing an apron and with her sleeves rolled up, moving around the kitchen of Akiha's mansion. Wait, didn't she leave a while ago? Why is she humming? Why are there birds everywhere, helping her cook like some bizarre version of a children's movie?]

[she finishes what she's doing--and that sure is a lot of food for just a few people--and waves the birds out through the open windows, finally noticing the Vine.]

Thank you for the help--oh! Hello, everyone. [has she always sounded this...cheery?] I hope you're having a lovely day--the weather's been wonderful lately, hasn't it?

[without missing a beat, she waves, turns and opens the door, and calls into the hall.]

Akiha, darling! Breakfast is ready!



[ooc: so Gal has been wildcarded and is now convinced she's....Akiha's wife. Let the awkward ensue!]
