"I think I can manage..." Kaori said, looking around. "I guess I'll head to the bathroom."
Kaori stood up, walking to the hall into the bathroom.

"Ok then," Arkia said. "I'll go get them. Take it easy and don't force yourself. I'll be back in a minute."

Kaori walked into the bathroom, shutting the door. She walked over to the bathtub, slipping her gown off. "This is happening so fast... it feels like I don't even have a home any more..." she thought, feeling too used to living in Old Keshmar. "What was I doing all those years..."
After she undressed, she examined the tub,as she was more used to the outdoor plumbing of a desert city. "This really doesn't feel like home..."
She tested the water, then hopped in. "I guess I should give it time...I mean I just woke up and all."
Still distracted by thought, Kaori looked up at the ceiling. "Last I remember, Taziko was a shorty, despite her being older than me. And now she's a baker? I wouldn't be surprised if she outgrew me now."
"And Kiros... she was always the toughest of us. I can't picture her working in a cafe..."
"Arkia seems different too. Not as shy or reserved as she used to be. She seems a lot... stronger."
Kaori then leaned forward, looking down at herself. "Why don't I even remember growing up? I look and feel totally different now. I'm not used to being this tall, I'm not used to having this shape, I'm not used to long hair like this..."
After she washed up, Kaori stepped out and dried off. She then looked around for clothes to wear, then noticed some that Arkia set out for her. She took them and examined them. Baggy pants of some sort, a rather modest-looking tunic, and a cloth belt. She put the outfit on, then looked around for something for her hair. She spotted a few discarded rubber bands, taking them and tying her hair in a long pigtail. "Well at least I don't smell like cave now." she said to herself.

Just then the door opened. "I'm back Kaori," Arkia said as she walked in, Taziko and Kiros following. Arkia turned to the two and said, "Just remember, she's been through a lot."
"Got it," Kiros said.

"Where did she go?" Taziko pouted.
Kaori walked out to the den with the other girls. She noticed Kiros and Taziko, giving them a soft smile to greet them.

"Yo, Kaori!" Kiros said as she saw her walk into the room. "How ya feeling?"

"Better, thanks." Kaori responded. "Nice to know that you two are okay."
"Not as sparky as we are to see you come outta nowhere like that!" Taziko exclaimed in her normal cheerful attitude. "Come down to the Sugar Mushroom, I'll bake you something special!"

"That 'something special' wouldn't be those mushroom shaped rolls that no one ever buys, would they?" Kiros asked. "Anyway Kaori it's good to see ya again. When ya feel better, stop by Cafe Alpha."

"Hmph!" Tazuko spouted, crossing her arms and looking away from Kiros.
Kaori nodded. "Thanks, both of you. But I think for now, I'd just like a look around."

"It'd be better if you rested a bit more first," Arkia said, a bit worried.
"Nah she'll be fine," Kiros countered. "Come on, I'll show ya around."
