Who: Conan and Anyone
Where: Various
When: Month of September
What: Many Meetings

A. Ran's house

With Hattori gone, Conan had been left alone with a distant false parent he had no intention of building any kind of relationship with. It comes as a relief when he receives the news that his false father intended to move abroad. It took very little manipulation to arrange an agreement to allow him to stay with Ran's false family.

Perhaps it should have worried him at how easy it had been, but in his life as Conan at home, a similar situation had happened without much debate.

And so it is that Conan arrives at Ran's home ready to move into a spare room.


B. School

Without a doubt, school was Conan's least favorite part of the day. Bad enough that he was stuck learning first grade lessons again, but he also had to pretend that he didn't already know everything they were teaching. If he had to recite the times tables for the teacher one more time.

However, recess wasn't terrible. He spends most of his recess time kicking his soccerball around and occasionally playing with other children. 




C. The Flower Shop

Now that he was living with Ran again, Conan sometimes came to the flowershop after school. He hadn't forgotten her confession to him as Shinichi that she missed spending time with him as Conan.

And with Vermouth around, even with amnesia, he was much happier when he knew exactly where Ran was. He could spend his afternoons pretending that his homework was a challenge while keeping an eye on all the visitor's to the shop.

At the question, Chikusa doesn't even bother to pause. All he does is focus on watering the plants. One could almost assume he'll go on ignoring the boy when he belatedly answers.

"I work here... and school plus curfew doesn't give me many other hours."

[spoilsfun]

"Why do you work here? Do you like this place better than other jobs?"

Fishing for information was practically a habit for him.

What a nosy kid... Chikusa raises an eyebrow back at him. First causing that spill, and now not shutting up. Ugh.

"The location is convenient." Carefully, he fills another pot with water. "Besides, I-" Ciro Bonavida anyway. "-like plants already so... There's not really a deep meaning to it."

[spoilsfun]

"Oh? What do you like about plants? Why is it convenient?"

Being obnoxiously curious was also a habit of his.

[kokuyoyo]

"It's on an easy route I can reach from my bike," he says, and follows it up bluntly with, "Why do you like talking so much?"

He has work to do, and this kid is wasting valuable energy on that front.

"I'm going to be a detective when I'm older. I'm practicing."

[kokuyoyo]

There are a lot of reasons why Chikusa could list that is a horrible profession, but he's pretty sure Ran will be disappointed in him if he messes with a child. So instead, he keeps tending the plants.

"And what does asking me about my job accomplish?"
