((thanks for waiting hope this lives up to your thoughts, I'm still working on finding a really good translation of the fining of Gene, help would be appreciated! Well I hope you enjoy!))

"Ma, Hot Tea." She jumps to attention to give me the one thing that will set my world back on it's axis. She pauses with that wistful look on her face and I wish we were alone. I'd gently push the hair out of her eyes and hold her hand. Thank you for being there.

I know she was with me while I was unconscious. I could hear her talking to me. It helped..It gave me a reason to follow the lifeline back.

One day I'll tell her.

As she goes to fulfill my wish Ms. Hara tries to insert herself into the position of my tea maker.

"Why do you always get the good jobs?!" She tries to wrestle the electric kettle away from Mai. I should say something to break up the nonsense but Mai's back is to me and whenever Ms. Hara yanks her forward Mai's skirt lifts to show a flirty bit of panty. I pretend to peruse my notebook but really I'm trying to figure out what type of flowers are printed on the pale pink material.

"Give it back! You heard Naru, he asked me to do it!" Mai yells in indignation trying to get the prize away from her competitor. I really need to stop this soon if I want tea anytime soon..

"Ms. Hara please allow Mai to do the job I pay her for. I'm surprised to see you here, don't you have to get back to your busy shooting schedule?"

She blushes, I suppose she thinks I'm showing concern but I'm truthfully more anxious to get rid of her as she's grating on my nerves.

"Oh Naru, I've arranged my schedule to help care for you convalescence." Great, I want to roll my eyes but I close them instead and pinch the bridge of my nose. This is going to be a long day. I just woke up..

As if to break my bad mood Mai sets a tea cup in front of me and It's all I can do to not smile as I take it. Well, at least I can have this for now.
