An Email from Mother || akaikujixyaku

Now that was much better. Go you for not royally botching that Emi, A+ in the boy interaction this afternoon. When he jested (or at least playfully mentioned) turning the tables on her, she chuckled again, musefully, and placed her spare hand on her hip. “Now that sounds like a truly interesting proposal, I’m obviously a notorious secret keeper, and so prestigious. Never actually accepted an interview before," That was more true than her joking let on, when she thought about it. And plenty had tried. Oh had they tried.

"Maybe I’ll make an exception, but you’ll have to earn it!~

Four pm sounds perfect. I’ll do everything in my capability not to get swept off by some glorious story in Cambodia"—(or something equally as ludicrous)—“in the meanwhile." She offered with some jest, before leaning into the phone a little, elated expression still fixed, "Now will you be needing my address, or has inventive Miss Marion already procured that on your behalf? Hhh-hm.”

“I’ll do my utmost to earn the privilege of being the first to interview you, then. As for your address, if you’d be so kind as to email it to me, that would be wonderful. I would much prefer to get the information from you, with your permission, than to encourage mum’s terrible habits.”  

Hakuba spared a pointed look at his mother, who waved a hand dismissively.

1) Where might one find you on a typical Friday night? 2) What is your method for dealing with hangovers?

“If I have no cases or heists to attend to, there’s a 50/50 chance that I’ve been dragged to a charity event or benefit auction. High society functions reign on the weekends, and I’m expected to participate. Fortunately, this usually includes ample access to alcohol, which helps get me through the evening. The available company is also sometimes interesting.  Otherwise, I can be found reading, reading, reading at home. Unless I’m in London, in which case, you’ll find me at pub playing billiards and doing what we Brits do best: drinking.”

“Speaking of which… As many have said now, staying hydrated is the best way to avoid a hangover. Make sure to drink a lot of water, and don’t drink on an empty stomach. Know your limits and don’t push past them. As fun as being drunk sounds, it usually isn’t.”

“Now, if it’s already too late for that and you are hungover, make sure to get some rest, take some aspirin, drink a lot more water, and try coffee or tomato juice.”

"Also, I find that it’s quite sobering to try to make some kind of magical hangover cure, because it is often disgusting and will discourage further drinking. Or, well, over drinking, anyway. Good luck!”

“That sounds like a good idea.” Kaito nodded and got up, heading over to the bathroom. He stopped in the doorway and looked back. “Do you wish to stay the night or will you be on your way?“

"Ah…”  Hakuba blinked, confused, watching Kaito as he left. Until he realized that he was doing so. He looked up at the ceiling, flushed. “Oh… ah… well if it’s an invitation then, ah, I’d like to, certainly… To make sure that you’re doing okay… ah… But I really don’t wish to intrude.”
