-clears throat- “The truth will come to light.” Or, “Only one truth prevails.” Who’s catchphrase is better?

“I think it’s adorable that my kouhai has been following my example. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!”

“…yeah yours is only retroactively in the past, Hakuba… plus nothing is better than my real catchphrase: There is only one truth!

"Wasn’t that Kudou-kun’s? Don’t tell me that you prefer him over me…”

“Eheh… heh… no, of course not, Hakuba-san!”

“How come you did that?"

"Eh?”

“That’s what I thought…”

➜: What sort of things does your muse keep in their pockets on any given day? 

I’ve answered this before in a previous post, but I’ll provide a more thorough list here:

  • Pen
  • Pocket-sized detective notebook
  • Wallet (IDs, various forms of currency, preferred customer cards, credit cards, soft-of official badge, oyster card, train pass, probably a condom or two, some small photos of whoever he’s currently tracking with notes on the back…)
  • Keys
  • Pocket watch (x2, usually)
  • Small comb
  • Nail clippers
  • Pocket knife
  • Handkerchief (x2)
  • Gloves
  • Pack of cigarettes
  • Silver lighter
  • Cellphone (whatever the latest iPhone is)
  • Evidence bags (x3, folded)

…and I think that’s about it. Probably a fortune slip or two, as well.

A bouquet wrapped in blue and gold, a silver ribbon keeping the flowers from just falling from the decorative paper. Shinori had wanted something a little more… fancy… to give him, but in the end she’d gone with something simple and maybe a little more practical. A frustration she tried to hide as she handed him the wonderful mix of flowers she’d put together herself. Geranium, Violet, Dill, Zinnia, Red and Orange Roses, as well as Tuberose. Such an odd mix.

GERANIUM: True friendship
VIOLET: Loyalty
DILL: Lust
ZINNIA: Memories
ROSE (ORANGE): Fascination
ROSE (RED): Passionate love
TUBEROSE: Pleasure

“Kudo-kun! That’s… I’m touched, thank you so much, my darling.” He took the bouquet and smiled at it for just a moment before holding his arm out to the side so that he could draw her against him and lean down to kiss her.
