“Hey Daddy, can I come with you to solve the case? Mommy is busy working in the lab.” asked the little 7 year old girl. She was half British and half Japanese. She had strawberry blonde hair like her mother and brown eyes like her father.

“Oh, you want to come with me, sweetheart?” Hakuba glanced at his wrist watch, then over toward the door to the lab. Hmm. “Well, I suppose you could, but I’m fairly certain that you don’t have your police badge yet. How about you help me make some tea for your dear darling mum, and we’ll use it to coax her from her work, hmmm~?”

“When is daddy coming home, both of you promised to watch a movie with me.” The young boy stood on his tiptoes to see over his fathers desk, his appearance mostly Japanese. Blue eyes and black hair reminiscent of his tengu father with just a bit of British features showing through from Hakuba’s own genes.

“Oh, I suspect that he’ll be along in the next hour or so. We should really get dinner ready for him though, hm~? Security is very serious business, you know. He’ll likely be very hungry. But!” He closed his current case file and pushed back from his desk to stand, walking around to take the eager boy’s hand. “Once that’s all sorted, we’ll watch whatever you’d like. Have you picked something out yet?"

“Wherever you wish. I was thinking of taking you to a nice place I visit on occasion, but it’s a surprise until we get there where it is.” KID, meanwhile, was feeling especially impish tonight.

“So I’m to… come up with a separate place for us to go, first… and then eventually end up in the place that you desire?” Hakuba wasn’t sure what kind of clever trick KID was playing on him, but he hoped that it was a deviously intimate one. “Somewhere like… a roof top? Or a cafe? Tea?” A pause. “Or perhaps the convenience store for some… caramel?”
