[voice; backdated to Sunday morning]
[Surprise, surprise! It's plain and simple voice post from Crow today. But it... doesn't really sound very Crow-like. No enthusiasm, no energy, just a short, very matter-of-fact statement.]
... Last Monday was exactly a year since I had come here.

Crow? [But right now she was a bit more concerned as to why he had been gone all day.]

... Hey! What's up?
[... Yeah let's ignore the fact he's been MIA for the past few hours.]

Where've you been all day?
[And doesn't ignore that fact.]

[He shrugs it off with a smile like it's not important.]
So, what is it that brings you to the great Crow-sama?

Unsurprisingly, Kaito had been searching for his travel buddy and close friend since the morning message had appeared on the gear. Also unsurprisingly, he hadn't been able to find him until the sun was beginning to sink across the horizon. He couldn't blame Crow for wanting to take some time to himself, really...
But right now, he definitely needed a bud. Which was why Kaito quickly plopped onto a plush chair right next to Crow, shooting him a cheerful grin]
You think we should throw you a party?

He responds with a no-so-innocent grin.]
Whaaat, you wanna celebrate Black Lance getting a year older?
[He gets a peck on the shoulder from the Murkrow on his right for that comment, but it was worth it.]

Why not? [nudges his shoulder playfully] And you, too!

I think he's in denial about getting older-- [He pauses, blinking in surprise at the comment that followed. Actually, he's... completely forgotten about that.]
Me? [It genuine surprise, there.] Oh, right. I guess that makes me 19, huh?

[... But she spots Crow first, and heads over.]
... pretty nuts, huh?

... Yeah. Back when I came here, I never expected to stay this long.
[He tilts his head, studying her for a moment.] ... You sure it's okay for you to be up and about already?

[That said, she makes it over to his chair and leans on the back of it, draping one arm over it loosely.]
Pft, I spent a whole week lying in that bed... if I didn't get out at least a LITTLE, I'd go insane and everybody would just find me sitting in the hotel room using the bones of my victims as toothpicks.
[... She's exaggerating, obviously.]

Sounds like something you'd do anyway, given a chance!
[... He's kidding, of course. OR IS HE.
He reaches into the plastic bag settled next to his armchair and pulls another cup of ramen out of it.]
--Want some?
[She looks like she needs it.]
