“Eheh, I’m a protective sort, I guess. Don’t mention it.”
“…thank you.”

“Heheh, I was just pushing my suspicion for the sake of not discounting the improbable, the ‘plane but not airport’ was the only part that didn’t click in with me initially." She still hadn’t tied it up completely, but was too busy basking in the afterglow of impressing him. Heh.
"I’m sort of a trivia addict, y’know? Whenever I get curious about something- when it came about, who it started with, I look it up- and I’ve got a good enough memory that most of it sticks. Especially things like tea, that I’m so endeared to— did you know they’d been drinking it in China for an entire millennium before it made it to Japan? The original uses were medicinal." There’s my precious little encyclopedia. His jesting question made her huff a laugh, silently musing over the accuracy of the inquiry.
"But of course I’m not a detective, that’d be silly. Detectives don’t overcomplicate, they analyze the facts and evidence presented them and assess it without the bias of overprocess, right? No, I’m a romanticist beyond all means, looking above and beyond is my nature, and that’s why I’m bound to the bending of words and storycraft." Well that was true enough.
"Oh goodness," Ah he said it he said thing, "I’m just lucky, with enough cleverness and sense to make sure that luck doesn’t get me (too) beat up. I’m sure you’d be the better of the two of us if we’d actually switched our paths.”
Tea. She had talked about tea. As if tea was something grand and magnificent. Which it was. But she agreed? Hakuba, so very pleased at this, was momentarily distracted from the topic at hand. Fortunately, he managed to keep his attention on driving and the road ahead, taking them northbound.
What was he supposed to say? Ah, right, detectives.
“Well, that’s what detectives are supposed to do, but no person is completely infallible.” Himself included. Hakuba laughed. “That’s certainly what Sherlock would have advised, yes. All right, so let’s put this into a clearer context. The location that I’m taking us first is relatively close, in Tokyo. This is a first date, so it probably isn’t too crazy…” At least, as far as he knows it isn’t. “And contains all of the things I’ve mentioned.”
He merged into another lane, revving the engine further as they picked up speed. “That said, can you make a list of places that we’re not going to?”
Hakuba hoped that his light, friendly tone would carry over the message that he was not trying to be condescending in any way. This was actually rather interesting for him, and definitely a much more pleasant conversation than he was used to having as of late.

The Detective? Well, it wasn’t too much of a stretch, but she doubted she’d be up to par with his example. Hh-hhm, what a cute game though, she very much liked the idea of it. Meitantei Himura, oooh that sounded cool. “I’ll do my best not to let you down, Hakuba-Jānarisuto." Oh my, her title sounded even nicer with his name. (And what a cute face he had made oh dearest me). As he mentioned clues, her eyes followed his hands, then briefly cased the interior of his vehicle, profiling in silence.
"Bones, but not grave; Flora, but not floral…" She repeated his hints to herself quietly, rolling the words around on her tongue, as they peeled away from her home and started their way. Bones. Bone, bone… china? Flora, not floral, perhaps the petals or pistils, or something flower-like? Flora… The plane but not airport was gone from her, but tying into her idea was the ancient, but not outdated. Especially in both of his influential cultures, as well as her own.
"When the buddhist monk Eichu returned from China, in the early ninth century, he personally prepared and served sencha, unground Japanese green tea, to Emperor Saga who was on an excursion in Karasaki, well, what is now the Shiga prefecture— the precise year was 815.
I’d say that’s fairly ancient, though I’m curious how the plane ties in, if my suspicion is correct?"
Hakuba-Jānarisuto. He liked that.
Hakuba stole a sideways glance at the girl before chuckling, amused and impressed, as he turned back to watch the road. "No, no… the place we’re going is in Tokyo. I don’t want to keep you out too late, after all…"
But that wasn’t very helpful, was it? He laughed again.
"I can’t believe… You didn’t even have to pull out your phone to research, yet you came up with an answer that fit, with precise year…” Hakuba shook his head. “No, clearly I’ve made this far too easy because you’re over complicating it. Are you sure that you’re not secretly a detective and that journalism is just your cover?” He pursed his lips curiously at the thought in an exaggerated expression.
“…clearly, I’m going to have to watch my step with you, Meitantei Himura. You may be far too clever for your own good.”
