[There's a crazy tilt to the video and then a loud clatter when Eagle drops the thing straight onto the ground. A worried face though appears in the next moment.]

A-Ah, um, yes! Yes, this is Eagle. [HOW DOES THIS THING WORK]

[no judgement... that’s about exactly how she used to handle these things.]

Hi! I just wanted to check up on you! Are you doing alright acclimating and everything?

[She's so kind, he thinks, thank goodness she didn't say anything.]

Y-Yes, I'm fine. Hi, and thank you for checking up on me. W-What about you? Are you alright? [Wait she's been here longer than he has and when he realizes it, he turns red.]

U-Um.

I'm fine!

[Without realizing that it's why he looked so red, Konoha just answers, waving her hand again in greeting.]

Same old, same old here! Even though it's the Lunatian old and not really old.

[WHY IS SHE SO KIND]

Th-That’s good. Oh, did your husband like the sweater?

He did!

[Her hands go from waving to patting at happy pink cheeks instead, pleased in the simplest way to have given someone a gift they ended up liking.]

It's really different than what we're used to, but he said it was comfortable and warm... thanks again for helping me with it!

I'm glad! [Eagle still has his own sweater and realizes he should probably wear it more often instead of carefully keeping it wrapped up where it couldn't get damaged.]

And you're welcome, it's great to hear that he liked it. I knew he would. [Since Konoha had picked it out for him and everything.]

Ehe, you were right.

[This is why you should just trust new people you meet.]

It was really handy when it snowed so much all of a sudden before. You didn't have any trouble keeping warm, did you?

[Did eagles dislike the cold???]

[He was right! It seldom happens but he’s happy when he is, nonetheless.]

I didn’t, since eagles like me usually nest in colder areas than this. And I once had a barbecue in the snow so being here was kind of like that. I’m glad the sweater kept you two warm though.

You had a barbecue in the snow? Like... a barbecue for bird people?

It was actually Polar Bear’s barbecue garden party. I was just helping out with Lion.

[While the guests that were near the fire refused to go anywhere and all the others huddled for whatever warmth they could get. Who knew that having a garden party in subzero temperatures was a bad idea??

Not Polar Bear, that’s for sure.]

What's a Polar Bear... ?

[She knows what a lion is! ... Well, she thinks she does.]

A polar bear is a kind of bear that lives in the Arctic. It's got really warm, white fur. [And likes holding garden parties in the freezing cold all in the name of hospitality.]

A white bear... ? I heard they existed, but I've never seen one...

[No, he is not talking about an albino bear, Konoha... Still-]

I saw a white deer once! Just for a minute, though, then it disappeared...

A white deer? Here?

[Huh... maybe there’s an albino deer here somewhere? That wouldn’t surprise him... after all, it’d survive better here than it ever could in a forest.]

Oh, no, not here, back in my world... Sorry, that was confusing!

[But wait-]

I have met a deer man here, though! A red deer!

Oh, no, that's fine! You don't have to apologize. [Though he is a tiny, tiny, tiny bit disappointed that perhaps he'd never be able to meet a white deer?

BUT STILL!]

A red deer, huh. Where?

On the network! He made a "post", and I replied!

The net...work?

That's what they call this thing we're "on" when we talk or type to the other Moonblessed.

I-I see! So this is the network.... [Thank goodness she knows more about this than he does!

He pauses then laughs, a little embarrassed.]

You really have been here longer than I have, huh?

Ehe, yeah... I still don’t get a lot of stuff, I’m not going to lie... but I’ve managed to pick up some of it! I can always try and help if you have a question or something...

[How is she so nice!!!]

Ah. Well...

[There is something he's wanted help with. And she did say he could ask?]

Do you know of anyone hiring? For a job? I-I don't really have that many qualifications but I'm willing to learn!

A job? Sure, I might know- What kind of things can you already do?

[No matter how many times he's done this, it's still so embarrassing.]

W-Well, I used to be a guardian back home and I had some experience doing a lot of odd jobs. I've babysat aye-ayes, planned parties, um, made crafts? And I can cook fish!
