[ He doesn't seem too surprised it still going on, but has no idea how long he's been at it. At that, he leans back a bit more to stare up at the sky. ]
And there's still the problem with this place that's a bit of a mystery.
[ He hears that writing happening and looks at the paper and also nods in agreement. ]
The one thing I hope with all of these weird things happening is that time isn't going the same back home sometime. Not sure how likely that would be, but a guy can hope.
[ Well, he can understand that part and just slowly exhales. ]
I get that feeling.
[ He looks at Sholmes in thought. Is this sharing is caring night? Guess so. ]
You probably already figured it out, but I'm a superhero back home.
[ Rubs the bruised spot on his cheek from that punch during their boxing match. ]
I didn't tell my daughter and kept her with my mother to protect her from that life. I guess we're both doing everything we can to protect them with everything we've got.

Indeed it does not. So I will say,
We did good work upon this day.
But the work is never done.
Not for you, or me, or anyone.

[And back to writing:]
["We need to find a way back to where we're supposed to be."]

[More writing, frowning slightly:]
["Are you worried about your daughter missing you?"]
no subject
She lives with my mother, but I don't want to worry either of them being gone like this.
no subject
[He picks up the pen to write again.]
["It is difficult, thinking about loved ones left behind. So I hope the same as you."]
no subject
[ Because, really. Who could love Sholmes?
No, no. It's just he hasn't heard Sholmes talk much about himself outside the bravado, so he doesn't know. ]
no subject
[He really seems to be thinking about this for a long moment.]
[And then, he takes the paper to draw a little doodle of a girl.]
no subject
??? ]
Is she...?
no subject
[He draws a little bunny holding a little bear's hand.]
["My daughter".]
no subject
Is that what you meant with your one year comment when we talked before?
no subject
[Sure was!]
no subject
Why the mystery until now?
no subject
["Just not used to talking about her I suppose."]
["I also want to protect her."]
no subject
I get that feeling.

[But now he's staring, stunned, at Kotetsu.]
2/2
no subject
You didn't?
[ He sounds actually really surprised! For uh. Reasons!! ]
You're not just humoring me, right?
no subject
[Pokes him in the shoulder!]
[How could you keep this from him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
no subject
Hey, I told you I'd possibly tell you when I found out what that one year comment meant.
[ He kept his word! ]
no subject
[But he lounges back and smiles a little, amused.]
[Yeah, that's right, he did.]
no subject
Now we're even.
[ But he nudges him a little bit. ]
About that daughter of yours, you didn't tell me if she was a year older or younger.
no subject
["Guess".]
no subject
She's younger.
