Hello, you've reached Kaburagi Kaede's voicemail. I'm not here right now so please leave a message. I'll get right back as soon as I check the message! Thank you!
Hey, sweetie. Do me a favor and stay in the lobby at our building today, okay? There's something going on that might get a little dangerous. Stick to the ground. I'll see you soon.
D...Dad? Wait, where are you going to go?! [ don't. don't do this again, Kotetsu. she was terrified enough when she had almost lost her father to the dangers in the city before.
although she doesn't burst out into the street, she's definitely calling back on her father's dreamberry over and over again ]
[Some of those calls would've been met with the straight-to-voicemail that meant his Dreamberry was either off or busy. When she gets through he picks up.]
Kaede?
[Pause.]
There's some trouble at the hospital. I'm going to see if I can help--just stay there, please?
No, Dad. Don't go alone. If you're going somewhere dangerous, then at least take Barnaby-san with you! I'll stay here in the house and won't leave. So please, Dad...
[It hadn't been the easiest conversation, and the weariness in his voice attests to that. It's touching how much he's worried about, it really is, but... he'd rather they worry about themselves.]
He's staying with you unless I call. And I will, if I can't handle this on my own.
[He doesn't mention that there's a twenty minute timer on that call, or what it would mean if he didn't.
[Very quietly.] I won't.[And then he reluctantly hangs up. Hearing how afraid Kaede is makes him consider re-thinking this plan, but there are people in danger, and... well. He's a hero, isn't he. Or was. Was planning to be again. This is what a hero does.]
[ she knew seeing her dad off to dangerous places was something she did back at home. but this was different. it wasn't Sternbild. and Kotetsu had just arrived only recently. added with their past experiences here, she couldn't help but to be more worried than she was at home.
still, she stayed in her room, tightly gripping on to the Dreamberry, praying for her dad to come home safe this time ]
[It may not be his BEST idea. The smile is totally worth it, though, and he grins back.]
Don't get too excited just yet, I've still got to talk it over with Barnaby. We might out-vote him, but if he really hates the idea we don't want to chase him out of the apartment, right?
If we can't have a puppy we'll just have to be happy with a Bunny instead, I guess.
[ do you hear this squee? ] Oh my gosh oh my gosh, I've always wanted a puppy!! I hope Barnaby-san says yes. I hope he does!! We can totally take it to walks and play outside with it!!!
[He chuckles. The thumbs-up is practically audible.] That's the spirit! If we both really put our all into it, nothing can go wrong! [Oh, Kotetsu. Optimism springs eternal.]

Ah... well...
[Another pause.]
Maybe a little bit? But I'll be fine, I promise! Just... stick with Barnaby so papa doesn't have to worry.

How do you feel about dogs...?

Do you think a puppy would make Barnaby have a fit?
[It's a rhetorical question, really. Puppies are... awfully messy.]
Only I saw this really cute thing today that made me think maybe if you wanted one...

Wait.... we might get a puppy??? [ omfg ]

I'll help you in persuading Barnaby-san if you need it Dad! [ kaburagi tag team ]

[FOCUS, Kotetsu.]
That might not be a bad idea! Maybe you can help your hopeless papa cook beef stroganoff to butter him up.
[NOTHING CAN WITHSTAND THE KABURAGI TAG TEAM.]

Beef stroganoff! I've never made it before, but I guess we can both try!
