in this case
i will send red bean
is i 's mother 's recipe
so becomes most delicious.

yes
i know this much well.
i know politician is much good speaker but
hopefully GEM will see action not word.

How lovely. I look forward to it.
I have found that food tastes best when seasoned with a mother's influence.

And I certainly agree, Miss Konoha.
Promises are easily spoken, but actions are far more effectively witnessed.
Hopefully the impact of our efforts will be enough to combat any frightful words, and can convince the Gems that we only wish to coexist. Actively, and peacefully.

With help like yours, I feel that outcome becomes more and more likely.

is true.
and among GEMBONDED i know only three mothers
so must work much hard to make up for.
is mother 's duty.

you is much good with words also though!
sounds smart and educated
so i hope can be useful for talking to GEM people

i will help like i can
which is small action.

I have noticed a similar instinct in the only Gembonded mother I know. There is no substitute for the base comfort a mother can give - and one can never have enough, at any age. It is an irreplaceable kindness to offer it.


Thank you very much for the compliment. You flatter me, indeed.
I do hope I can communicate effectively enough to help the situation in a meaningful way. It is certainly my intention to try.


Small does not mean insignificant.
Small actions win wars, just as well-placed acts of compassion can have great impact.
Your help is appreciated, and invaluable.

I do know Jiang Yanli - she is my sister-in-law, in fact.
She is very kind, and very strong. The both of you would find good company in each other, I think.


I will most gratefully accept that offer, Miss Konoha. There are many ways we could use help such as yours as we continue our efforts.
I hope that you will do likewise, and reach out to me again should you ever find yourself in need. I will be sure to answer, even for something as simple as a pleasant conversation.
