Fifteenth Case

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

[ not too far from the inn, Kazuha is taking inventory of... a bunch of omamori and various assorted charms. ]

Mmm... it feels like a lot more people need these than the last time I did this. But I didn't think I'd still have all of these from the trips and the time Heiji got sick and everything... I was going to give the innkeeper one, too, but... maybe Ai-chan will want one.

-- Aha, I remember these! They were supposed to be for good luck and keeping anything bad from happening, and this one was for getting lost, but I bought that one before I came here.

... Obviously didn't work.

((Just strolling through fuck-my-canon lane, but if you're a friend of hers and you haven't gotten an omamori yet or you just feel like chilling with her, feel free to hit her up.))

America?

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

[Pauses.] North America, that's right. [She had to think for a second.]

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we're a bit of a ways from you.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

Really? How far?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Thousands of miles.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

Wow. That is far.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Well, they're different countries, after all.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

I know that. I've been to all the states. Except that one cold one and those two islands.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

That's a lot of traveling.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

My mom has to travel a lot for work. [Really easy lie to do. She's told the story over a hundred times by now.]

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

What's she do?

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

I dunno. Something about checking different branches for corporate. Or something like that. [Shrugs. Another deliberate move. She didn't want to seem to know too much about her 'mom's' job so she couldn't be pressed for details.]

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Sounds... exciting.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

[Shrugs.] She's busy a lot.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

That I can understand.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

Is your mom busy a lot too?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

My dad, actually.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

What's he do?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

He's the head of the Osaka police department.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

He is! Wow.

...where's Osaka?

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Also in Japan!

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

Oh. I guess that makes sense.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

You'll have to come visit sometime.

[youngest-halfa.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Not sure how I'd get there if it's that far though.

[charmcuffs.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's a bit farther than your own country.
