Aphrodite nods, “Hell yeah I can…the rocks are mostly fallen now and its easy to push past them all.” She smiles and starts walking. “Come on.”

Nishida smiles.

"Alrighty." she replies, following after the woman.

Aphrodite leads her outside. “Welcome back to the outside world.” She smirks, “Or should I say hell?”

"Where I was was hell." Nishida chuckles.

She squints against the light, but her eyes adjust quickly.

"Now, can we find me some clothes? Not that the world would mind seeing glimpses of specific things, but it's a simple matter of principle for me." she grins, turning to the woman.

"Also, what's your name?"

Aphrodite laughs softly, “I assume you’re right. And my name’s Aphrodite. What about yours?”

"Oh?" Nishida asks, raising an eyebrow. "Aphrodite?"

"My name is Nishida Yumiko. History may remember me as Shiōmetsu or Burradofurawā." she chuckles.

Aphrodite raises an eyebrow. “Oh? Well then…” she hums softly. “Beautiful name by the way.”

Nishida grins. "You don't know history, do you. No matter. It might be better that you don't."

She bows. "Thank you. You have a beautiful name too."

Aphrodite smiles, “I don’t care much for history.” She hops down from a few rocks. “I can take you to my cabin. I’m sure I have some clothes that will fit you.”

"Well that's amazing. I can start fresh with you, then." Nishida laughs.

"Last one down the mountain will get cursed by the gods!" she says, front flipping down the rocky slope, launching into a series of acrobatics that looked extremely deadly and dangerous if she did them wrong, especially considering she was still holding her massive sword.

Aphrodite watches, humming softly. She takes her time down the slope, walking to her cabin.

Nishida was grinning as she follows after Aphrodite.

"Hey! Do you mind if I live with you?" she asks.

Aphrodite looks at her. “Sure.” She walks inside, immediately being greeted by a small orange cat.

Nishida grins, following after Aphrodite. "Thank you!"

She looks down, hearing a tiny scream of curiosity and grins. "You have a cat?"

She nods, picking up the cat. “This is Zi…” She pets the cat as he purrs loudly.

"Character?" Nishida asks, confused, since it sounded like the Japanese word for "character."

Aphrodite laughs, “No…just Zi…thats what he responds to.”

"Ohhh. . ." Nishida grins.

She holds her hand out for the cat to sniff.

He looks at her hand, then bumps his head against her, still purring.

Nishida smiles, stroking the cat a couple times before looking at Aphrodite.

"First things first, before anything, including showering. Would you mind if I made some food?" she asks.

She nods, “Go right ahead. Kitchens on the left…” She walks over to a chair and sits down, setting Zi in her lap.

Nishida grins. "Thanks."

She rests her sword against the wall of the cabin, which creaks and cracks alarmingly.

She takes no notice of this as she hums and goes into the kitchen, bustling around and getting ingredients set out. There were enough ingredients out that one might think she was trying to make a feast.

Aphrodisiac glances to the kitchen. “That hungry?”

"Hey, I haven't had food since well before you, your parents and your grandparents were even thought of, kid! Plus I usually eat more than this." Nishida calls back with a laugh.

Aphrodite laughs softly, “alright alright…”

Nishida's laughter can still be heard as she bustles around the kitchen, grabbing pans and pots and things.

Soon, the sizzling of meat can be heard, as well as the sounds of vegetables being chopped very, very quickly.

Aphrodite listens, smiling softly. She always loved the sound of cooking. It made her forget about what she had to endure at such a young age. She hums softly and closes her eyes, relaxing.

It takes hours, but Nishida has a feast, just for herself, plus some food for Aphrodite.

"I'm not sure how much you usually eat so I just made you 4 plates." she smiles, handing the girl one of them.

"The rest of the food is mine." she chuckles.

Aphrodite blinks, staring at her for a moment before taking the plate. “Thank you-“ 4 plates?! That’s more than even she would allow herself to eat! She stares at the plate, then slowly starts eating, giving some to Zi every now and then.

Nishida tilts her head, confused at the look Aphrodite gave her.

"Did I do something wrong?" she asks. "Do you eat more than 4 plates?"
