[ He nods. ]

She lives with my mother, but I don't want to worry either of them being gone like this.

[greatdeduction]

[He nods. And then he's silent for a moment, looking thoughtful, almost a little distant, like that's reminded him of something.]

[He picks up the pen to write again.]

["It is difficult, thinking about loved ones left behind. So I hope the same as you."]

Yeah? Who do you have waiting back home?

[ 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. ]

...


[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.]

[ He stares at the picture for a few moments, letting it digest, and then looks at him.

??? ]

Is she...?

[greatdeduction]

[He nods.]

[He draws a little bunny holding a little bear's hand.]

["My daughter".]

[ He very gently cuffs his shoulder in response. ]

Is that what you meant with your one year comment when we talked before?

[greatdeduction]

[He lets out a laugh, and nods.]

[Sure was!]

[sponsoredby]

[ He's amused by that. ]

Why the mystery until now?

[greatdeduction]

[He shrugs, but then seems to rethink it.]

["Just not used to talking about her I suppose."]

["I also want to protect her."]

[ 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.

[Sometimes you think about your daughter and feel sad!! It sure is sharing is caring night.]




[But now he's staring, stunned, at Kotetsu.]

[Writing "YOU ARE WILD TIGER????" in big letters on his piece of paper.]

[ He looks at him and squints. R-Really? ]

You didn't?

[ He sounds actually really surprised! For uh. Reasons!! ]

You're not just humoring me, right?

[greatdeduction]

[Folds his arms! Huffs!]

[Pokes him in the shoulder!]


[How could you keep this from him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

[sponsoredby]

[ He'll poke right back! ]

Hey, I told you I'd possibly tell you when I found out what that one year comment meant.

[ He kept his word! ]

[greatdeduction]

[Poke poke poke.]

[But he lounges back and smiles a little, amused.]

[Yeah, that's right, he did.]

[ These manchildren. ]

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.

[greatdeduction]

[Smirking. God, these stupid dads.]

["Guess".]

[sponsoredby]

[ Makes a long "hmmmmm" sound, debating it over in his head. Best go with his initial gut instinct. ]

She's younger.

[greatdeduction]

[.......]


["How old was your daughter again?"]

[sponsoredby]

I can't believe you forgot.

[ Jokingly, nudges him a bit. ]

She's eleven.

[greatdeduction]

[A shrug! Sometimes....forgetting Happens.]

["You....are right!"]

[A picture of a bunny doing a thumbs up.]

[sponsoredby]

[ He does his forgetting plenty, so he wasn't actually upset about that. Just had to tease. ]

From your picture, she looks like a really sweet girl. I can tell how important she is.

[greatdeduction]

[He flips back to her picture just to look at it for a good moment.]

["I want to get back home to her just like you want to get home to your daughter."]
