[Didn't she just make a video today? NO. That would be her younger sister, and the keen of eye might even be able to realize there are hereditary similarities between the two. But there are differences also. For example, this particular white-haired woman appears much more...stiff. Even if she's not wearing her uniform anymore, her squared shoulders and lifted chin seem to scream 'MILITARY!' even in a soft and fuzzy gray sweater.]

Greetings. My name is Winter.

[Some of you might remember her all the way back from summer when she made a very detailed presentation on what types of moonlacing were and were not acceptable. This time, she's not asking for help. She's offering it.]

It has come to my attention that when we return to our worlds, we lose all memories of this one. It would seem that our actions do not matter.

[She drops her gaze for a moment, reinforcing her resolve to remain professional. Her emotions are starting to leak through just the same.]

But I would very much like them to, for the duration of my stay. Consider this an open invitation to seek my aid for any troubles you might have. If I am unable to render assistance, then I will help you find someone who can. The impression I leave behind will not be forgotten. I would have it be one of fond remembrance rather than hedonistic selfishness. I don't require compensation. I don't desire it either.

[Her jaw tightens, and her brow furrows.]

This is what I want to do. I am choosing it for myself. Seek me out if you have need of me, in public or in private.

That is all.

[Blip! And she's gone.]

i might need help with dinner tonight

[Oh! Well. This is almost deceptively easy.]

I could do that. What would you like to eat?

[ Winter reads a little tense from this post, so... why not? ]

i still got a bunch of veggies that tai brought over, maybe you can figure out what we can do with them besides put them in eggs

How thoughtful. What types?

[Because she's already going to her small collection of cookbooks, hauling ALL of them into her arms, and placing them on the table to open up the glossary. She'll find some sort of recipe that will incorporate as many as possible.]

Edited 2020-03-02 05:02 (UTC)

come over and have a look

[ Nope. Not gonna let you over-prepare for this one, Schnee. ]

I need a recipe. I don't know how to prepare vegetables 'on the fly'. Take a picture if you don't know.

you'll have your device. consider it practice

[She's squinting so hard at said device. He might be able to predict that.]

So be it. Considering that this is Taiyang, I will assume he prefers peasant fare comforting types of meals. The vegetables will likely include carrots, potatoes, and onions, the majority of which could be crafted into a stew. I will make a brief stop at the store to purchase some meat, red wine, and broth. I assume you have salt.

[ And there she goes, overthinking this anyway. Qrow has to laugh. ]

stew's a great idea but hold off on the wine, actually.

i do have the basics

[ Well...this is different. ]

You returned home?

Is that not a key ingredient?

[Recipe book, you big fat liar.]

Just the meat, then?

I have not. But I have acquaintances who did, and confirmed this information.

[She'd be in far worse shape if she'd gone back to Remnant as well.]

it might be, but we'll make do

that'll work

Very good. I will endeavor to do my best.

[And since he can't see her via text, she's picking up two books anyway that have stew recipes in them, surreptitiously slipping them into her purse.]

yeah i know you will. see you soon, babe

I look forward to it.

[She starts to shut off the band, but...should she...it's a little more public...no, she'll do it, she wants to.]

I love you. Over and out.

[So he doesn't have to say it back until he wants to too.]

[ Oh, how interesting. ] What more do you know of this topic? [ The returning home thing. ]

Of being returned to our worlds for recalibration? Some. I spoke with the personnel in the science department. However, I have not experienced the return personally. Acquaintances from my world made the journey, which is how the answers I received were confirmed.

[There is indeed a moment of double taking, but this one obviously addresses herself differently and looks older at a second glance. Ana was a twin and could have easily mistaken Winter and Weiss for twins as well if not for that.

In any case, the other thing that stands out is, well, how Winter stands. How she presents herself even in a relatively casual environment. She does, indeed, exude that military air but Ana would have likely picked up on it anyway because of her own experience with them.

She tilts her head a bit, not wanting to make this just an awkward video of her staring.]

Sorry, I have to ask - are you military? Erm. Here, not just back home.

[Ana only vaguely recalled her last interaction with the Moon Knights and it's been a couple of months back now.]

I am not.

[She considered it. But there are Reasons why she's never signed up to participate, even though she has people she likes in the ranks, even though she'd be a natural at a job like that.]

I know several Moonblessed who are, however, if you wish for their assistance.

[Decisions Ana has made in the past herself. She gets it.]

I don't really need assistance, I was just wondering what it was like. I'm feeling rather aimless now that I'm settled but I'm not really sure where exactly I can put my skills to use here.

I'm certain they would not turn away one who possesses such skills. I assume you are well versed in combat?

[Boy can Winter empathize with feeling aimless right now, but she's keeping that little nugget of joy firmly locked away.]

If so, instruction to those who are less competent in such matters is also considered a prized attribute.

Very.

[She's not going to brag about it, though. There's no reason to and it would get into a lot of history she'd rather keep quiet about.]

I was a mentor for a short time so I'm not opposed to teaching. Is it alright to ask why you didn't join the Knights here? You don't have to answer if you don't want to!

So are you basically offering free labor if we need it? Because I can think of some pesky troublesome boxes that need moving.

I don't care to divide my loyalties.

[Not unless she absolutely has to. The answer is true, but grossly simplified. Her reasons are a bit more complex than that.]

In any case, any assistance they can render can be duplicated of my own volition. I can act with fewer restrictions as a result.

[Her hands move to rest behind her back.]

Might I inquire as to your combat specialties?
