Calling
27 September. The Wedding Anniversary. The wedding only left incomplete because of the monster controlling her Lady-Mother's mind. As far as Mariko, and thus, as far as Amiko was concerned, her parents had really been married anyway.

Amiko knew her Father no longer made his attempts to get roaring drunk -- or as close to it as he could possibly get -- on the anniversary, but she liked to keep calling anyway. Just in case, and just to talk to him.

This year was a little... complicated. She hadn't really kept a secret from him before. But it didn't seem like time yet to mention her mentally ill boyfriend for whom she was a parole officer. The ethical questions were bad enough; there was also the safety issue.

She takes a breath and calls.

	"...No, not yet," she muttered. "Haven't had anyone qualified available." When they did... oh gods. It was going to be a nightmares. She just knew it. If a botched romantic moment reduced him to a cringing abused child, what could a real psychic examination have to deal with? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"If, an' I mean /if/, he agrees to see somebody, I'll get ya a good one." And that was all he'd say about it. He hated somebody messing around in his head, but he'd admit it probably saved...somebody's life.

Time for a subject change, before he was on the next flight to Tokyo to see the situation for himself and probably bring down the Hand on top of them all. "I didn't forget what today is. You get a chance to visit her?"

	"Yes, for a few hours." she says, having gone to the shrine earlier. A little meditating, a little quiet talking, like always in these situations. "I'll see you in a few months for her birthday, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2011-09-27 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, you will." He never missed her birthday, not even when he had to sneak into the country and fight his way out. This was his and Amiko's time, Misha was left at the mansion. "I'll be there, darlin'. Oyama gets that long to improve." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Great." Amiko smiled over the phone. She'd managed to learn long ago how often Japan was dangerous place for her father, part of the reason he'd chosen to stay in New York, but he always came when she really needed him. "Everything okay over there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"As okay as it gets dealin' with your brother. I should've beat the happy outta him years ago, then he wouldn't be such a pain in the ass in the morning."

It was an old joke, because nobody could figure out where Misha's easy going nature came from. It wasn't in him or the boy's mother. Logan was hard teacher, but he never tortured the boy. He left that to the girls.

	"Tell ya what. Let's you, me an' the boys plan a campin' trip. Anywhere ya want. Get away from all the crap an' just breathe fresh air. Do some fishin', climb some trees, maybe a little huntin'. See if ya still got it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2011-09-27 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	"That... that sounds really nice. I'll let you know when and where works best." A sniff. "And of course I've still got it." Nothing beat her father's style of hunting after all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You do that, darlin'. Don't think you met David yet. Take it easy on him when ya do. He's a pretty mild. You can keep pickin' on Mikey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2011-09-28 01:52 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, Sir. Looking forward to meeting David." She chuckled at the last part. "Goodness, I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I couldn't." She made a mental note to thank Mishah for minimizing...stuff. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...Thank you, Sir. I love you." She swallowed. "I need to get back to work soon. The new robot needs... a lot explained to him. My regards to everyone there, Misha especially." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Careful with the robot. Ya never know about the programming." He would always have sentinels on the brain. "I'll tell 'em. Love you, too, darlin'. See you in a couple of months." (Reply to this)(Parent)
