[pishirogane]

Is that so?

[Sorry, she doesn't want him to be a hired hit bird or anything]

[Poe raises his wings at Kanji's hand]

He's fine when I smooth his feathers, but he's still getting use to everyone.

[topgun_textiles]

[Kanji's hand withdraws. those beaks and claws hurt, and he's not in the mood for a second helping after that mission.]

Well shit, how long's a crow's grudge supposed to last, anyway?

[But he'll let it go. Poe was just like a fair number of people back home, not used to him, though the bird's case was far different.]

A-anyways... uh... i-it's right around the corner...

[He canted his head a bit. It was almost April, after all.]

Thought about w-what you wanna do yet?

[pishirogane]

It's not the grudge this time. Crows being viewed as pests isn't uncommon so he's wary.

[She tilted her head slightly.]

Around the--? Oh, no, I haven't.

[topgun_textiles]

[And despite the jitters in his stomach, he's got a grin on.]

Wouldn't be surprised if the others have somethin' planned for you the day of, but... keep the day before or after clear. A'right?

[pishirogane]

[She pauses, thinking]

I... haven't informed anyone of my birthday. However, I suppose it may be documented somewhere.

[topgun_textiles]

Huh? Why not? 's your big day, y'know?

[Says the guy who never uttered a word about his own shortly after he arrived here in January.]

[pishirogane]

I'm use to small affairs. Everyone here seems to have some form of party.

[She wouldn't be able to deal with a crowd.]

[topgun_textiles]

Don't want a big bash, then.

[Honestly, he wouldn't, either. They were rather similar in a hell of a lot of ways despite outward appearances.]

A little cake with friends won't hurt.

[pishirogane]

... No, I suppose it wouldn't. Still, if we do have a gathering like that, they must keep it too themselves.

[She will flee someway, somehow.]

[topgun_textiles]

They'll keep it to themselves. Trust me.

[nobody should flee from cake... h-he'll be making it, you know.]

[pishirogane]

[UNSURE]

... Very well. I'll trust you.

[topgun_textiles]

[He's not a total thug, he swears.]

I'll hold ya to it. ...But in exchange, y'gotta have a little fun.

[pishirogane]

[She knows. Kanji's a good boy.]

... Very well. I'll try to have... fun.

[topgun_textiles]

We got ourselves a deal!

[Atta'girl. He leaned and pressed a kiss to her cheek.]

Uh, w-wanna ride home in a little bit?

[pishirogane]

[Good thing that was quick. Poe was startled by it.]

H-Huh? Oh... sure. I would enjoy a ride.

[topgun_textiles]

[Well he saw her first, Poe.]

Awesome. S'been a while, y'know?

I'll letcha sit up front this time, show ya the ropes a little bit.

[pishirogane]

[Poe ruffles his feathers.]

It has.

Huh... Alright. [This would be a little strange, but it would be the first time Kanji holds her]

[topgun_textiles]

[Naoto, you have a hatoful boyfriend.]

If you're all set, let's roll! We can take the scenic route.

[pishirogane]

[Kanji, no]

Yes, I'm ready. I'm not in charge of clean up today. [Poe, hearing its time to go, takes off. He'll be back at the apartment.]

[topgun_textiles]

Me neither. That frilly dude's got Meister Ability lessons down for the rest of training today.

[With that he stood, and offered her a hand up before leading the way.]

I'm parked not too far from here.

[pishirogane]

[Frills...]

You mean Edgeworth-san.

[Naoto accepted his hand, rising slowly to her feet. A disadvantage of her modified shoes, it was difficult to stand from the ground. She nodded and followed him in relative silence.]

[topgun_textiles]

Same thing.

[He shrugged. Edgeworth may be your boss, but he still didn't appreciate that little lecture after the pool party.]

[Once reaching the vehicle, he immediately crossed to the saddle bag and got the gear out, handing her a helmet but keeping his hand out to accept her hat for safe-keeping and not squash the poor thing.]

Think you might take up Yosuke-senpai's bike? Don't think he'd want it to keep collecting dust in that garage.

[pishirogane]

Did something occur between you two?

[You shouldn't have been sharking... even if she does appreciate what you did to that one boy.]

[She accepted the helmet in one hand and handed him her hat with the other. It would be back on soon enough. For now, she slipped the helmet on]

I believe I shall. However, it requires maintenance before anyone rides it.

[topgun_textiles]

Ah, he was one'a the people I pulled down during the pool party. [Twice.]

[But he stowed away the hat and pulled the helmet on, pulling his arms through the sleeves of his coat and zipping up. After a moment to make sure the helm was on secure, he was about to straddle the bike, but then he remembered the plan.]

Maintenance? What's it need?

[Asked while he offered her a hand on the thing.]

[pishirogane]

You... pulled my employer into the water?

[Ah... well then.]

[She took his hand and climbed onto the bike, nodding her thanks]

Cleaning for one thing. The pipes are clogged and the engine requires some work. For another, a number of parts have begun to rust and the wheels need to be replaced.
