I've never used a whip before, either. It seems like it'd be pretty difficult.

[But you could probably swing over crevasses and things like Indiana Jones!]

[itaidakimasu]

{She shifts back, flashing a peace sign.}

It takes a little while to get used to it, yeah. Kanji-san managed to pick it up pretty quickly, once he figured out how not to hit himself...

[tauborn]

K-Kanji? You mean the guy with the bleached hair who looks super tough?

[He thinks Kanji is awesome, in fact.]

[itaidakimasu]

That's him! He's a sweetheart, really.

[tauborn]

[He laughs a little.]

Yeah, he is, isn't he. He has a really cute little cat, too.

[itaidakimasu]

I have no trouble believing that.

[tauborn]

So... do you normally just go handing out water during morning training? [He waved his bottle in the air between them with a grin.]

[itaidakimasu]

No, I just generally drink a lot. Same with eating. You looked like you could use it though.

[tauborn]

[Again, he's reminded of Wako.]

Yeah, I didn't realize how thirsty I was.

[itaidakimasu]

It can creep up on you.

{She stretches again, her spine curving like a cat's.}

So, what do you do when not working on getting back into shape?

[tauborn]

[He decides that "laying around the apartment trying not to get swamped by feelings of guilt and regret" is not a good answer.]

Uh, well, I just joined the Watch, but honestly that feels a lot like trying to get back in shape, too. But I also have a dog, so I take him out and stuff.

[itaidakimasu]

You do? So do I! His name is Kerberos. He's a sweetheart.

{And has, on occasion, been mistaken for a small bear.}

I've with the Agency since a few days after I arrived.

[tauborn]

Maybe he'd could play with Firecracker sometime! He's still a puppy, though. [The most the four month old chocolate lab would get mistaken for is a teddy bear.]

And I used to work at Triple A, but... I think I'm more suited to the Watch.

[itaidakimasu]

I think Kero-chan would like that! He's big, but he knows how to be gentle.

{She nods along.}

Sometimes it takes a while before you find something that you just...click with.

[tauborn]

[He nods, even though he very secretly sometimes still doubts his decision to join the Watch and in a lot of ways he misses working at Triple A terribly.]

We can bring them to the park for a doggy date sometime! [He laughs a little, because it just sounds silly and cute.]

[itaidakimasu]

A doggy date, huh?

{She giggles too, wrinkling her nose a bit.}

I like the sound of that, Tsunashi-san.

[tauborn]

[Oh man. She's cute. He'll just... do his best to keep that to himself, though. It still doesn't keep him from grinning at her.]

Great!

So what sort of work do you do at the Agency?

[itaidakimasu]

{She brings her knees up near her chin and beams at him, crossing her ankles and wrapping her hands around them loosely to keep from tipping over.}

I'm a detective! I was back home, too, but the cases I take here are a bit more...mundane. except this latest one; it's a little nostalgic, really.

[tauborn]

Oh? What kind of case is it? I mean, can you talk about it or is that against the detective rules?

[He wriggles a bit so he can face her better, and stay comfortable on the grass.]

[itaidakimasu]

I'm not sure, actually. I don't think there's much to cover up, since most of the details rare open to the Watch too. Back home, 'normal' generally involved homicide, so it's probably easy enough for you to guess without specifics.

[tauborn]

[Oh. Yeah, that's pretty easy to guess.]

It sounds like normal where you used to live is pretty scary. Where're you from?

[It seems pretty obvious she's from some place in Japan, but it doesn't sound too much like his Japan, unless she's from one of the large cities or something. Those large cities he's never been to and doesn't know too much about.]

[itaidakimasu]

Well, it's more that my job only focused on the scary parts. And Tokyo's a big place, with many, many different kinds of people. And...some not so different.

You?

[tauborn]

I'm from way in the south. [A pause as he realizes he should probably clarify.] Of Japan. Most recently, I was at a boarding school on an island off the coast of Kyuushuu.

There weren't any murders or anything, but I guess for such a small island it had it's own share of troubles. [He shrugs. Most places seemed to have their own particular type of problems.]

[itaidakimasu]

Oh, wow, that is south!

{Her mouth quirks into something almost ruefully fond.}

That's human nature, I guess.

[tauborn]

[He frowns a little, and then does his best to hide a bit of discomfort. Human nature. Good and bad.]

I kinda felt like I was on a desert island at first! [He laughs lightly.]
