[The video turns on and there’s a slightly familiar face on-screen. While he hasn’t been posting as often as he used to, the people who attended the partnership meet-and-greets should be able to recognize him. Well, if they didn’t, they should pay attention now. Neku looks slightly uncomfortable; PSAs aren’t usually his thing, but he’d wear things

You're very organized, Sakuraba-san.

voice;

[gotphones]

Not that much. I do it for a living, as you know.

[He recognizes your voice, Choushiro-san.]

I'll be at work in an hour.

voice;

[moonlighttag]

[a little surprised.] Oh, I wasn't checking up on you for that reason.

I'm just impressed. At your age, I'm surprised when kids have their homework done, nevermind organizing meetings like this... [he doesn't mean it to sound as bad as it does Neku.]

voice;

[gotphones]

[It still sounds pretty terrible, Choushiro-san.]

It's not like I have homework to do over here. 'sides, this is something I have to do.

[He sounds quiet but surprisingly passionate about it.]

voice;

[moonlighttag]

[what is social finesse he's a detective not a social butterfly.]

Oh?

voice;

[gotphones]

Yeah. Partners are important. The ones I had are gone now, but...

[He trails off, embarrassed. He just wants to share the experience of it, okay?]

voice;

[moonlighttag]

[Choushiro- smiles.]

I see.

[voice;]

[gotphones]

Are you looking for a partner?

voice;

[moonlighttag]

I haven't actively thought about it.

[though, on the other side, he frowns, troubled. he recalls the conversation Haibara had with him, the proposition, and it leaves him unsettled.]

Nor do I know my form.

voice;

[gotphones]

Not interested?

You can find out during the morning training. I'd help out, but...

voice;

[moonlighttag]

It isn't that...

[he hums. the fight was important, and Choushiro was the first one to want to protect people. but wars were a bit beyond him. to Choushiro, his only goal was keeping Haibara at bay.

that, and it seems awfully intimate.]

I should look into it...

voice;

[gotphones]

Come to the morning sessions. It'll help a lot.

[... no comment.]

voice;

[moonlighttag]

I may just do that...

Do you attend the training too?

voice;

[gotphones]

I help out with the partnership thing.

... I haven't had time to get training for battle.

voice;

[moonlighttag]

[a little surprised, and concerned.]

You don't know how to defend yourself?

voice;

[gotphones]

Huh? Ah, I mean. I know how to fight and defend myself, but I think it's better to go with a partner. For myself, anyway.

I'm not that rusty. Do you know how to fight?
