[Let's just mutually agree that they fuckin sucked, huh?]
...
[Blink blink. Sorry, did you say a gift? For him? Because honestly, outside of Ken getting him takeout, or their lunch dates, gifts aren't exactly something he's used to getting. Ever.
He almost wants to ask if he heard Riku right, but sure enough, the box he pulls out of the bag is very...gift-like.
There's a moment of looking at the box, noting the yellow sakura pattern on it as distinctively japanese, before looking back up at Riku, returning to the box.]
A gift, huh.

[Those don't count as gifts anyway. He lifts his phone, not being sneaky with it now. Why should he?]
C'mon, open it. My client wants to know how you like it.
['His client' being a tiny television personality. Actually, he's not sure if Maya put in it who it's from or anything...]

I'd hate for you to get fake cheese crap on your ride.
Figured. Don't split your head open before your date.

[A brow raises as he reads the calligraphy on the note--only showing his name and not the sender. It's too girly to be Riku's, and its not one he recognizes.
Well...only one way to find out.
His hand moves to lift the lid, pulling it off and wrapping it behind the bottom to get a good look at--
Those eyes widened as large as dinner plates.
Strawberry Daifuku. Something he may have had once in his life, and certainly not anything worth writing home about--like something you'd find in a convenience store. This was the real deal, though, he knew from just looking at it. Strawberry was his favourite, and his eyes soften for one lasting moment as he looks at it. Something he couldn't put on his face intentionally. That soft spot Maya mentioned? Fully and completely exposed right here.
His gaze shoots up to Riku immediately, completely speechless for once. All his frustration at Tex, or the frustration at Ken's situation, or Maya's death...all of it is gone.
Because who would give him this?]

[Satisfied, Riku sticks the phone back in his pocket. He'll send it to Maya later. Now, though, he smiles quietly, leaning to peek inside the box. There's a bunch of them -- she really packed them in there. Kaneda looks like someone just told him he won every lottery on the planet or something. This is half the reason Riku likes his job, honestly, is stuff like this. The other part is mostly just regular life advantages type stuff, but this...]
They're really good, she paid me in them.
[He can't help but grin -- the look on Kaneda's face is just too good.]
Now, I wonder who sent it...?

[oh good she's going to ignore that first part then!]
surprise!! yeah my family really likes them?? we always have some around so i know how to make it

[Give him a moment. There's actually about five minutes without a reply as he tries to process this. Riku hadn't said anything, and honestly--it was so OBVIOUS now that she said it.
She'd seriously made him something he really liked and sent it to him on a whim. No warnings, no bets, no deals or anything. Just a gift because that's what friends do. Sure, he's done it--he made a keychain for Riku, but that also had his own curiosity in it. And the ice cream cake for Gogo? Part of a deal.
This is the first time he's ever gotten anything like this. He types up his answer four times, each sounding worse than the last before he just decides on something simple.
Simple works.]
if youre trying to bribe me to do something for you its working
[Play it cool, Kaneda.]

nah
I mean i told riku it was so you'd say 'senpai' but I figured since I worried ya you'd want 'em
[ She's not used to not being able to apologise the 'usual' way. Nick had always been so close to her, she'd seen him every day, and they'd talked like family. She hadn't needed to apologise this deeply to someone back home. His reaction had been satisfying, but it's still nice to receive confirmation that he'd liked it. ]
sorry about that again
i know things were already rough

[Kaneda's silent for a little while longer, thumb running along the edge of the box as he bites his lip. He's really trying to play it cool--he really is. It's just not working all that well.]
Etto...
[It slips out, trying to find something to say--before Riku's words snap him back into reality.]
Wait...-YOU- know! Who sent it??

[There's a laugh at the 'senpai' comment, knowing full well that it'd take a lot of strawberry daifuku to get him to utter that word in a way that wasn't mocking. But the real reason...
A smile spreads across his lips as he types, trying to hide it a little even from himself.]
i guess youre forgiven in full
they were damn good

[His blood turns cold at that text, that name in the subject line. In fact, he almost drops his comm when he sees the text, heart leaping a little into his throat.
Because those words echo in his mind again.
You're Japanese, aren't you?
And then a gunshot.
A large part of him wants to ignore it. Throw his phone across the room and hope it shuts off on its own. Capsule's not here for him to bounce the idea off of, and Bull's off doing something. Ken's in no better condition than he is. Tetsuo would go out and try and kill her again.
He's not sure what's worse, the fact that it happened...or the fact that Euphie doesn't remember it.]
you got a bit busted up in heropa
hit your head or something
[He's already ruined someone's life here--he's not adding Euphie to that list.]

| Oh, I see. I was hurt? But... I don't remember my head hurting at all. It was everywhere else. Kaneda, I'm a little worried. Everything's a blank. |
| No. Nothing at all. There was something happening in Heropa. An... attack? Or maybe it was just a disaster. I'm not sure. I remember seeing a blue light... and that's all. It's like my memories just shut off after that. I was just unconscious the whole time? |
| what? [She's surprised by the text, surprised enough that it throws her perfect syntax off. What's he getting at?] Yes, of course, more than anything. I promised Suzaku I would. That was my dream, to end all the fighting in Area Eleven. To create genuine peace where nobody would have to mourn again. [And then a pause, longer this time.] ...why do you ask? |
