Description: After the events of this log, Kanji has one last surprise. What's a birthday without friends?



It all started with a text sent to as many as Kanji could muster on such short notice that they were on their way up and to hit the lights and hide. Still sort of reeling from the London trip proper, Kanji couldn't help the little grin to himself. It was kind of amazing how many people were willing to give him a hand with everything; there was no way in hell, he knew, that he'd manage to pull today off on his own.

He held his breath as he played it casual, pushing open the door to a dark apartment. In his head he counted to three... and then, he flipped on the lights.

[Naoto finds this discussion interesting. She has to chuckle]

Rickshaw runner? Possibly, but that's hard to imagine.

[timelessummoner]

I like to think I'm good at running. Although with cars becoming more popular, my career might not last very long.

[pishirogane]

You could consider some form of apprenticeship, or perhaps try getting into engineering.

[Naoto should not be encouraging this line of thought.]

[timelessummoner]

My technical skills would fall short, I'm afraid.

[This is the closest Raidou's ever come to consciously rebelling against what his family wanted of him. Even though it's all hypothetical and highly unlikely to ever happen, just talking about it is thrilling in a way.]

[pishirogane]

... I suppose I could teach you a few things while we're here.

[Might not remember them when he returns home, but hey, something new.]

[timelessummoner]

Would you? I know you are busy with the Agency and SEES. [And having a boyfriend, too.]

[pishirogane]

It's fine. It's something I do in my free time while Kanji sews.

[timelessummoner]

In that case I would be glad to learn. Modern technology tends to go over my head.

[pishirogane]

As long as you're willing to learn, I can teach you, Kuzunoha-san.

[timelessummoner]

I appreciate it, Shirogane-san.

[pishirogane]

[She smiles and nods. Glancing around... oh right, party.]

Did you get some cake?

[timelessummoner]

Ah, not yet. I thought it would be rude if I didn't even talk to you first.

[pishirogane]

I wouldn't have taken offense really.

[What is informal party etiquette?]

[timelessummoner]

Even so.

[You're asking him?]

[pishirogane]

[She nods. She really has no idea.]

Well, feel free to help yourself. We can continue our conversation after.

[timelessummoner]

Very well.

[Om nom cake.]

[pishirogane]

[She chuckled. It still surprised her that he had such a sweet tooth.]
