Returning home (Meme- Fluff, Meeting Again)
It was supposed to just be a week long trip to a dig site. It was going to help her finish off her degree so she could focus on her other duties full time. And really everything should have gone smoothly! It had. Mostly.

Except she got talked into staying for another week when they stumbled across a big find that was more of Kayura's area of specialty. It was really hard to say no because it was a fantastic example of mid-thirteenth century armor and it had been exciting.

Then she had wrenched her knee badly the day before she had to leave. She had to delay going back because of that. The site medic didn't want her to risk tearing something since they had to hike to and from the dig site. So now it was almost three weeks later and now she is finally back and so happy to just have to wait for the date to graduate more or less.

But boy was this a little embarrassing. Almost two weeks late coming home even though she had sent word explaining everything.

"Thank you." Still she will be nibbling on an Oreo now though. She really does love them. And she couldn't have them on the dig site so she has missed these too.

They were, really, rather hard to get. Now, there's about a thousand things /like/ Oreos that are very easy. Knock offs of various qualities of all sorts abound here. Once again, that wasn't going to suffice at all. Hajime himself avoids them entirely, and truth be told, really usually doesn't snack, or otherwise eat anything outside of mealtime, especially at tea - but he doesn't say anything, and just appreciates what he views as a quirk.

"Very welcome."

That's why they have the Best Boss Ever. Kayura also looks really pleased to have tea.

And no she won't dip Oreos into the tea. That would be gross.

Of course, Hajime would never mention that Oreos are kind of gross- mostly the being filled with entirely unidentifiable... stuff. Not that a lot of what the kenku ate and served was pleasant, but he knew what it was.

"So what is next in your studies?"

"In two weeks I have to turn in papers I've been ready to turn in for almost a month now. Then I have to take a series of tests. Then I graduate."

She stares at her tea now.

"I think the dig was a pretext for my Professor to peak with me privately, Sempai. He is.... a bit puzzled I have refrained from applying to study for my Masters degree. I don't need it. It's something I would like but I don't think I have time."

She never saw it as giving anything up.

"I have to do what's practical. Masters degrees are harder. Sometimes you have to teach and.... I don't have time." Even if she would enjoy it. She has to be practical.

He can appreciate the viewpoint, but fully realizes how much one might like to do that never happens, for sake of family as well as anyone.

"Indeed, between practice and your duties... maybe someday, but not right now."

"Well. At least the good news is I'm almost done with my day-time classes," she says trying to sound cheerful.

"It will make it easier to work on everything else."

That has her pull a slight face.

"That is true. I barely have time for that dog." Wait he doesn't know about the dog, does he?

She has such an odd life.

He doesn't, but doesn't particularly let it show. She can fill in what details she feels the need to. "I'm pretty sure I had a dog once. It seems a very long time ago. I understand they can take a lot of time too, yes."

"He's an interesting dog," she supplies. She does smile though at the mention of time. "He has not been so difficult to care for. A friend of mine from school watched him for me while I was on that trip. This summer I'll be looking in on her cat while she goes on a trip."

A favor for a favor was a very common thing. Se doesn't seem to like asking her uncle for things. She barely mentions him even in passing.

And even were he curious, he doesn't ask. Asking after possibly unfortunate family members might be construed as rude.

"Very kind of her."

She may twitch if he is mentioned. That man annoys her right now.

"She's a good friend," Kayura agrees.

That mention will likely never come from Hajime. He comes from a culture where the best thing to do with uncomfortable topics, if at all possible, was to pretend they don't exist. Kayura can bring such things up if she wishes.

"A good thing to have."

Which is so useful in modern times. It helps avoid very uncomfortable conversations by not starting them. Ever.

"I find that being able to trust people on different levels is.... good. Pleasant even."

Honestly, he's always surprised at how much that has changed, and how casually people nowadays casually bring up uncomfortable topics for people - and that's just Japan. These 'American' people sound particularly horrible.

"I would suppose so. For obvious reasons, my social circle is kept very small now."

Kayura is actually very glad she rarely deals with Americans. They are so much more worse than the very pushy people she sometimes must deal with.

His words though get a small smile. "I am only close with a few people. I do not make friends easily, those I do I hold in high esteem. They are all good people."

"Other families who have a history with what mine dealt with," she confirms. "My Mother made sure I interacted with them more after my very early days at school."

She really didn't get along with her classmates. "And we became rather close. Especially Ayaka and myself. After our first year her Mother switched her to my school so we wouldn't be too lonely. It was.... Good. Since then we've never studied at different schools."

"Not all of them are directly involved with things but.... My father was friends with them. It's not usual for parents to think that if they are friends their children might become friends if given a chance. With most of us that was very true."

She takes another sip from her tea. "I can say honestly it's good that a few of them and myself grew out of how we used to react to each other. With each other we very much acted our ages."

And she still recalls being very upset her doll had been a casualty of her not getting along with Jiro.

He nods thoughtfully, slowly working on his own tea. "I recall moving around a good deal, moving between living with my father at times for those lessons, and living with my mother, and knowing very different people depending on which I was living with. Either way, acting like a child was not encouraged for very long."

She will raise an eyebrow in a barely noticeable manner. That seems very unusual to her but she won't comment on that.

"I was.... Lucky? My Mother thought there should be a balance. Father agreed for his own reasons but I was still very aware they needed me to take things seriously." She smiles though thinking fondly of them.

"For someone who had no exposure to the supernatural before she met my Father Mother took to it very well. She was very good with a sword. A better archer though, I recall." She also recalls that flirting for her parents involved sparring but there's no need to ever share that.
