As The Counselor left the shrine, the weather changed for the worse. Most would take this as an omen, a portent of some disaster about to come. But he was optimistic. Sometimes these were just coincidences, and coincidence at times lead to a boon.
Then a voice called out to him.
"What are you doing out in this freezing cold! Come here immediately!"
The lady at the door beckoned him to get inside her home. The Counselor obliged. He just regenerated, and he wouldn't look to go over that again, not without getting acquainted with his new face.
"Thank you," said The Counselor as he dusted off the snow from his coat.
"I've seen many a Sim freeze into ice cubes out there," said the lady. "You must be crazy to be outside during a snow storm."
"I was crazy once. But I don't think I'm that person right now."
The lady raised a brow, possibly regretting to invite this strange man.
"For your generosity, I will cook you a meal. Best there ever is!" said The Counselor, forgetting that he had just burned down his stove back in his TARDIS. The Counselor made his way to the kitchen and started preparing to cook. The lady didn't protest. She could sense that this stranger was to be trusted. Was it the way he stood, the way his eyes sparkled at the sight of her home and her pristine kitchen?
While The Counselor stared intently at the pan, hoping that wouldn't end up as another disaster, the lady said, "My name is Kaori, by the way."
"Counselor."
"Of what?"
"Just Counselor. Now, shall we eat?"
