[Kiki has thankfully discovered the video function with the help of her newfound friends! As a result, the feed clicks on to her smiling face, tired line beneath her eyes. She waves.]

Hi everybody. I hope this is working...my egg hatched!

[Excitedly, she turns the camera, showing off a short little Minccino...busily dusting off everything, using his tail as a duster.]

He really, really likes cleaning. I named him Sweep. Stop dusting and say hello, Sweep!

[At the sound of his name, the Minccino perks up, turning towards Kiki with a happy peep. She giggles, turning the camera back to herself. She looks a bit sad.]

Did any of you have pets back home? Just curious. [A beat.]

Um, yeah. Bye!

Witches are raised with their black cat since birth. I've known Jiji for thirteen years; we've never been apart.

[She gathers up her knees.]

This is the longest I've ever been without him.

[It sounds tough, it really does. Frowning in concern and lacking the words to comfort, Link instead reaches to gently rest his hand on her head.]

[Instead of drawing into herself, Kiki draws into Link's warm presence, ducking her head a bit under the pressure of his hand. It's comforting.]

I kind of miss having him around with his...running commentary on things. He was always so sarcastic about everything, his sense of humor was really weird.

[She says it fondly though, not overwhelmed by sadness.]

He could talk? [It's a soft question; while the Remlits at home couldn't talk, there were several creatures on the surface world that could.] It sounds like he was very observant though, to comment on things so often.
