*She carefully picks up Mari, bringing her into her bedroom and setting Mari in her bed. She gently tucks Mari in and then curls up on top of the covers like a cat.*

Mari lies on her side, closing her eyes as she sighs shakily. She could mourn more tomorrow, she needed rest now.
-
*Sapphire closed her eyes as well, starting to fall asleep.*
-
Kari was soon out cold, in a dreamless, deep sleep.
-
*Sapphire fell asleep shortly after, going into a deep sleep as well.* [i]The next morning...[/i] *Sapphire woke up, yawning a little. She gazes at Mari, looking to see if she was awake yet.*
-
Mari had awoken a few minutes before. She was kneeling at the window, gazing off into the distance.
-
*Sapphire rubs her eyes and gets up out of the bed, walking up next to Mari.* [u]What are you looking at?[/u]
-
She sighs, pointing at a distant mountain range.
-
*She looks off at the mountains.* [u]What's special about those mountains?[/u]
-
She shrugs, merely admiring them.
-
[u]Well, they are quite beautiful... Do you want breakfast?[/u]
-
She nods weakly, rubbing her eyes.
-
[u]Okay... Do you like cereal?[/u] *She asks, taking Mari's hand and leading her into the kitchen.*
-
Mari followed, tilting her head curiously.
-
*She notices this, tilting her head a little as well.* [u]Do you know what cereal is?[/u]
-
She shook her head no.
-
[u]Well, it's delicious![/u] *She says, pulling out two bowls and pouring in some Rice Crispies.*
-
Mari sniffs it confused, thinking, "How do i eat this?"
-
*She chuckles.* [u]Hold on, I'm not done with it.[/u] *She says, filling each bowl about halfway with milk and putting a spoon in each one. She takes them and sets them down at a table.*
-
Her expression didnt change as she eyed it curiously.
-
*She motions for Mari to sit down as she lifts up a spoonful and eats it.*
-
Mari mimics her, spilling some.
-
*Her ears tilt back.* [u]Have you never used a spoon?[/u]
-
She shrugs.
-
[u]Well, basically you use it like a... A... A little shovel, and scoop up the things floating in the milk so you can eat them.[/u]
-
She nods, trying again but still spilling some.
