The 51st Song [Video]

Hello, everybody!

Um, I need some help...it's not with anything bad, but I can't really do all this by myself...see, this weekend, I made pie!

A...a lot of pie. I wanted to try out new fruits and things I'd never used before. I only ever really made apple and pumpkin before. They were really the only ingredients Mother could get her hands on...I did get to make blueberry pie once! But the point is, I made pies...

I've got starfruit here...and cranberry pie, and pecan pie...strawberry pie, ground cherry pie...I didn't even know cherries could grow in the ground! They sort of look like tomatoes to me, though...but I'm sure they taste okay!

I've got a few more here that might not have worked out so good...cucumber pie, chocolate and rhubarb pie, and elderberry pie. That last one might not have cooked thoroughly, and I think the rhubarb got a bit burned...

...I think I went a bit out of control...

Well, that's true...I don't think that ground cherries grow on trees, though. They grow like tomatoes, apparently...

...which I guess means they don't come straight from the ground either...

I guess not all varieties of cherries grow the same way. Some types of food just have so many variations.

[Subtle topic switch here.] So, you made all those pies last weekend? What for? Do you work at one of the City restaurants?

I do, actually! I'm a waitress at the Jade Dragon. It's a tea shop here.

...but I also just like baking.

Guess I should try out the tea shop sometime. I haven't gone there yet. How long has the Jade Dragon been around?

For a while, I think...a lot of our staff left the City, though, so it's just me and Boss Toph now, I think...

I see. No one can ever tell who's going to come or leave. No one knows when, either.

...So what's your name, anyway? [He feels kinda dumb about that is slightly awkward about asking. Trying not to sound particularly grumpy, but he just does.]

Oh, I'm Rapunzel. It's nice to meet you! What's your name?

--Asch. The pleasure is mine. We might meet in person next time.

I'd like that, thank you.
