[Like the weeks before, once everyone has wandered off their separate ways, notes are posted to each room that still has a warm body in it. Only this time the writing is much messier then any other notice]
None of us feel like celebrating, but I think Yato would approve if we don't spend the night hiding out because of him
There's warmed up food in the Game Room if you're hungry. Might be best to not be alone tonight.
-Yosuke
[And as promised there's leftovers in the Game Room; and eventually fresh stuff as Tarrlok gets to work in the kitchen. Yosuke is there, trying to set something up on one of the shelves, but otherwise you are left to your own devices]

[Hi there. Mouri seems uncharacteristically grave tonight when approaching you. It seems he is rather troubled about something]
About what Mettaton-kun said today...do you think I should go talk to him?
[He is pretty much guessing Cherryblod would go talk to Mettaton as soon as possible, too]
no subject
[Cherryblod's already had that conversation at this point.]
Unless another motive like that comes up.
no subject
What he said...it caught me by surprise. I didn't think he would even consider...doing something like that. He never seemed to be that type of person.
[Mouri scratches his head, unsure of how to say it]
At least I hope he is okay.
no subject
[That it was him refusing to be emotionally competent, as usual.]
But he'll be fine.
no subject
Is it weird I'm starting to like him? We didn't get along at first, but the more we talk the more tolerable I find him. He seems to accept my presence, at least.
no subject
I'm glad you're getting along better now.
no subject
What made you get so close to him, by the way?
[In other words, why did you adopt him?]

Wadanohara's close.

That was how Cherryblod rolled, and to be frank, he still felt like the lesser man when he compared himself to Cherryblod]
You are a pretty doting father, that is obvious to anyone. I'm completely different to you yet I was the one who got a seven year-old brat shoved onto my life.
Funny how the worlds work.
[Mouri says brat but the tone sounds like he is worried about him and wishes he knew if he was okay. Brat or not, he's practically a member of his family, even if it is only for a short time]
no subject
[He's sympathetic, really. He knows that some people aren't meant to be parents, and yet end up being parents anyway. Kogoro's probably doing a fine job with his own daughter, but having another child so suddenly...]
What are they like?

[Oh boy, Conan Edogawa is an experience, and Mouri isn't the one who has dealt with it the best. Way to go, you asked and so Mouri is going to go into a spiel about the pain that is Conan.
Mouri takes a deep breath and starts:]
Conan Edogawa is a handful to deal with.
[That was said with a tone that shows he is completely serious about that]
He gets in serious trouble frustratingly often. He can't go three days without stumbling onto a dead body, either when he's with us or with his friends. I'm starting to think he is a murder case magnet. A police inspector I know once said the dispatchers have a code for Conan-kun and by now I'm starting to think that was not a bad joke.
[Too bad you didn't ask one day later or Mouri would tell you how the very last case he remembered was precisely Conan getting kidnapped for like the fifth time since Mouri has known him]
And he doesn't seem to understand a crime scene is not a playground! All the time he is prowling around, staring at stuff and messing with potential evidence. At least he has enough smarts to not to leave fingerprints but I have lost count of how many times I'm discussing the case with the inspectors and the brat goes 'What could this be?' and points something out, most of the time stuff surely we would have found out later without his help. Nobody can keep him out because he is determined to stick around no matter what!
And the worst part is that he loves to play dumb with me. Sometimes he spouts some sort of random trivia and then says he heard it in the TV, as if anyone would fall for that excuse. He is acting like he has something to hide, but what could a seven year old child hide? That is frustrating.
2/2
[Now that Mouri got done with his ranting he is actually calmer and shows appreciation towards the kid. He actually sounds like he means every word he's saying now]
Everyone likes him and it is not hard to see why. I know he is loyal with his friends, although it took him a while to accept they liked him. If there's the slightest possibility one of his friends or Ran is in danger he won't let anything stop him from getting involved or outright attempting to save them. The tales my police pals have told me are something to behold.
Ran adores the kid, to me it seems he's like a younger brother to her now. The police detectives like him too, to the point where they don't protest his messing with the crime scene because they say Conan-kun is perceptive. A couple of them even trust him over their partners' judgment.
I'll be honest, Cherryblod-san. That kid is a handful to deal with but it isn't as big of a deal as I may have made it sound. Other than his tendency to get into cases he doesn't bother anyone, is mature enough to not to need constant supervision, and most of the time I like his presence around the office.
...I know he is staying with us only for a while - it has been just a few months since he started living with us - but I already consider him like...part of the family in a sense. I look over him and to be honest I will do anything to make sure he is safe.
I also pity him in a way. He was left behind while his parents are overseas yet nobody hears from them. All contact I have with them is when they send money to pay for Conan-kun's expenses, they don't even make an attempt to talk to him.
For now I'd say it's up to me and Ran to be the parents he doesn't have. It is not easy but we are going to try and do our best to do it.
no subject
You'll do fine. As long as you do your best, that's all anyone can really ask of you. And I can tell you really will try to do right by him.
...My daughter has some horrendous luck whenever she's on land. Not a murder case magnet - sometimes worse. It's enough to make a father want to keep her under house arrest for fifty years, but she'd hate that. So we have to let her go about her life.
no subject
That is how it must be for every parent. You love them yet you can't keep them away of the world forever, no matter how you want to at times.
Maybe in the future that bad luck will be gone and you'll be able to relax a bit. Don't lose hope and it all will be okay.
no subject
Certainly hope her luck will improve. Doloz worries so much about her, and I can't say she doesn't have reason to... But I think things must turn around for her, sometime.
no subject
At some point whatever causes her to get in trouble will stop, she will settle down and who knows, maybe in another two hundred years you will have a grandchild to dote on.
no subject
[Even though he'd love some...]
no subject
[And if there's something he also knows is that he doesn't like him for a variety of reasons related to Ran's wellbeing...and because he steals his potential cases, stupid teenage detectives being so good at their jobs]
no subject
No boyfriend. Not right now.
