[ He knows. But he'd rather give Hiro a reason to smile just a little than to keep dwelling. ]

You drive a hard bargain. A movie night at our apartment will be tough, but I think I can swing it.

To be honest, I hadn't thought about it yet. This is all part of Yosuke's cat education.

[zerotohiro]

...I think that's an acceptable payment...:)

[...wait.]

Are you trying to tell me that Yosuke doesn't know what a cat is.

[covenantal]

:) Great. You pick the night and I'll bring the popcorn. Have you met Naoto yet?

I'm sure he'd tell you he knew. But he doesn't understand the soul of cats, Hiro.

[zerotohiro]

I haven't. Who's Naoto? Another person or another animal?

[Believe it or not Yu's never mentioned Naoto by name to him according to my inbox.]

I'll be sure to program it so that it constantly curls up in his lap and refuses to leave him along until he gets it then.

She's one of my friends and teammates from home. She's a detective, and the smartest person I've ever met. I'd really like you to meet her.

:) You're the best, Hiro.

[zerotohiro]

Oh...that's really cool. Is she smarter than me? When can I meet her? Maybe she's got theories about this place already.

Hey, any chance I get to terrorize Yosuke, the better. I still haven't seen him since he came back anyway.

[covenantal]

There's more than one way to be smart, Hiro. I don't know if she could build robots, but we couldn't have solved the case without her. She's still working on collecting information, but I don't doubt she'll have theories ready once she's done. Actually, I'd like to call a meeting soon for all of us to discuss things. You and Dipper included, of course.

Really? I guess things have been pretty busy. All the more reason for you to come by. It's gotten pretty lively here, but it's fun.

[zerotohiro]

I'd be good with a meeting! If she's really good with theories that's just one more person on our side, and I've liked everybody from your team so far even if the girl you guys live with is a little...intense. [I like to pretend that Hiro knows Rise and is appropriately terrified of her.] We can fill her in on everything we know already, too. Maybe a meeting at the usual place later then for that kind of thing?

I can always come over just because. It's not like your place is that far.

[covenantal]

You mean Rise? She's a passionate person, after all. Anyway, that's exactly what I was thinking. I'll let you know a date as soon as everyone's schedules match up.

Hmm... that's right, you could. There's just one thing, though.

Terrorize Yosuke how?

[ he's interested ]

[zerotohiro]

Is that the word we're going with? Anyway, keep me updated. It's not like my schedule's that busy that much these days...

And think about it like this. Haven't you ever noticed that cats are always attracted to the one person in the room that doesn't want to pay attention to them? That can't be that hard to program.

[covenantal]

I think it fits her pretty well. :) Anyway, you got it. I'll talk to the others and let you know.

[ There's a brief pause before he sends the next reply. ]

[zerotohiro]

[...SIGH]

You're so weird sometimes s2g. I'll talk to you soon.
