Thanks for joining me for dinner, Umi. I enjoyed the company. Think you'll be up for shopping soon? I think I found some gear for you but I want to make sure before we get it. After that, I'll be more than happy to kick your butt start teaching you a few things.

[Koneko]
I'm thinking of doing a few renovations. I know the place isn't that old and I still love it, but since it's solely mine now, I think I'd like to make a few changes. Nothing too drastic, I promise. I just wanted to let everyone know they'd be getting a few extra days off in the near future. Any suggestions or ideas?

Well, what can I say? He's gone. All proof he was ever here, other than Bandit. I think I'm glad she's staying with me, though. I guess I'm fond of her. Still... I wish he was still here. This place just feels too big now, like it did when Omi left.

I guess it's true when they say you never know what you've got until it's gone.

I'm such a fucking moron.

Anytime! It was nice. You know I'm always available for you.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Really? Already? Then I should definitely try it on! Shopping always sounds good to me.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Why doesn't that surprise me?

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Because you know I've left myself moneyless two times already because of shopping sprees? Just a wild guess.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Something like that.

How are you today?

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

As fine as I can be in this place, I guess. You?

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I'm alright. Handling it, I guess.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

You've no idea how glad I am to hear that. He seems to be coping okay, too.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Of course he is.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

It's way better than seeing him suffer for it, Ken. Isn't it?

Though... he's become pretty great at hiding his emotions...

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

He's very good at it.

1/2

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Not sure how good for him that can be. If it's good at all.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

But, anyway! Where's that shop? Near the Square? Maybe it's the place where I got your Christmas present.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Might be. I'll show you tomorrow.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Tomorrow sounds good! I'll get home early from work and everything.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I'll do my best to get out early.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Don't push it for me. I got no trouble picking you up at the Koneko and waiting for a while!

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Sure thing. I've got a few arrangements to work on tomorrow so come on back if I'm still there.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Deal. Aw, and... I forgot to mention it before because of everything that happened but Hikaru sounds like she's interested in learning too. Would that be alright?

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Really?

Yeah, that's great. Really great.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Yep! I told her about it and she sounded really interested! So if it's fine with you maybe she could join the lessons.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Of course. I'd be happy to have her join up.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Perfect! Then I hope that soccer gear comes in a really great variety of sizes. She's... a bit shorter than me. To say the least.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Well, if it came down to it, there's always kid sizes.

.... don't tell her that, huh?

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

I won't, trust me. She doesn't appreciate being reminded. Though she's definitely cuter for being smaller!

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I bet.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

So, still considering starting up a team?

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I still don't know if there'll be enough interest.

Maybe I'll think on it once things calm down some.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

That's just what I wanted to hear. Don't give up on that yet, alright? I may have a surprise for you.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

... really?

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Very really! If you're in the mood I can tell you all about it tomorrow on our shopping trip.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Man, that's just not fair. Now I'm curious.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Curious is good! You'll have something more to look forward to! Other than spending time with such a funny and interesting person as yours truly, OF COURSE.


[ ooc: So basically, this (http://soulofocean.livejournal.com/30612.html?thread=7458964#t7458964) is what Umi hopes to talk Ken into. She thinks it'll be good for him. Of course Ken can decide this ain't the sort of coaching he's looking for but IDK. She's fishing for ways to make him feel better. T_T ♥ ]

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[ooc: He'd be thrilled! ♥ I'm sure you know by now that he's pretty much adopted Umi, btw.]

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

...I know you're in a better mood when you don't call me off on that sort of bragging.


[ ooc: It's totally mutual, lemme tell you. XD ♥ And yay! ]

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I'll try harder next time.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Sounds fair! Then I'll have to brag harder too.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Not sure I can handle that.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Think of it like this: if you get the hang of it then you're ready for anything!

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

True enough.
