drove to Chicago, all things know, all things know

[cherryblooded]

[This is getting so routine.

Cherryblod had thought about napping the rest of the day, like he'd said, but there are people to take care of, people who'd been closer to Aiden and Shirazu than he had been. So after about an hour in his room to decompress, he'd headed to the kitchen and started cooking. At some point Stan and Bruce had both joined him.

Almost everyone seems to want to take care of those who are remaining. Almost everyone.

The food this time is mostly soup and sandwiches - nothing fancy, nobody's in the mood to appreciate it - but it's there set up in the dining room by the time everyone (alive) receives notes under their doors. ...He slips an extra one for Sigrun under Mettaton's door, just in case.]

[name],
If you want to spend this time by yourself, that's fine.
If you'd rather have some company, there's food in the dining room, and you're all welcome there.
If you want to take some food and go, that's fine, too.
Take care of yourself.
-Cherryblod, Stan, Bruce

Hello, Eide-san.

I'd like to ask something...

[Mouri seems to be in good mood, despite having just gotten out of a trial. He also looks at the stilettos for a moment, because they are like a beacon, okay? Hard to not to notice it]

[captainobnoxious]

[Yes, notice her fantastic legs.]

Go ahead then.

[sleepingkogoro]

I don't know if this is the best moment to ask this, but do you think we could continue the flute lessons next week?

[He has missed them, alright. It had turned into a routine for him, and Sigrun seems to be feeling better now than she did a week ago. Asking is worth a try]

[captainobnoxious]

[Aww. This is a good question, and her grin should say so.]

Of course! I'd missed them too, especially since you were coming along pretty well! You'll be able to play beside me even with a week off. Think of it as having taken a little break.

[sleepingkogoro]

Glad to hear that.

I didn't think I would be playing the flute for as long as I have now. It's almost surreal to me.

[captainobnoxious]

Well, when you've got a teacher like me, it's hard to stay away. I'm great.

[... Definitely in a better mood, though she crosses at the heels.]

Does your daughter play anything?

[sleepingkogoro]

Ran is very good with music. She can play the piano and her voice is enchanting.

[Sounds like a proud father here]

Nowadays she doesn't practice very much - she is into martial arts and that is her focus now - but she does have talent for music.

[captainobnoxious]

Then next week, we'll focus on making your first song to impress her with.

[Very, very decided, disciple.]

[sleepingkogoro]

Song, huh.

I won't need to sing about slaying trolls and exploding stuff, right?

[Because that is your song type, Sigrun. Good thing one can't play the flute and sing at the same time.

Yeah, Mouri thinks the flute plays 'tunes', not 'songs']

[captainobnoxious]

[In fairness, it will be a tune.

On his end.]

Of course not! It's to celebrate you, detective, not me! Though we'll work on something like that together later too.
