Rie took an apron and tied on with quick fingers, being quite used to aprons herself. In fact, the whole atmosphere seemed quite familiar--with the frustrated Pio being her often-overwhelmed mother. She went up to Nuru and, without a word, began to help her with the eggs.

More comfortable with this task than nearly any she had undertaken since she had run away, Rie set about cracking the eggs with deft flicks of her wrist. "Can you tell I've done this before?" she asked Nuru.

Nuru laughed. "Oh, maybe once or twice. I don't know...it looks to me like you could still use some practice."

Rie grinned at her. "Five hungry brothers who can't crack an egg without either spilling it all over the floor or stabbing themselves with a piece of shell makes for an egg-adept young woman," she said.
