Characters: Koga, Janine Date/Time: 30th August Location: Fuchsia City, Fuchsia Gym Warnings: Squishy huggy family time. Summary/Notes: Prose style. Koga goes home to Fuchsia. It's a surprise!
Janine sighed with a note of relief, as she spotted the ever familiar gym ahead in the distance. Today was unbearably hot and muggy, and all she wanted to do was go back to the gym and try to stave off the heat
( ... )
Koga had the sense to put his tea down immediately before he was trapped in Janine's vice grip of a hug. She was petite like her mother, but she had the strength of her father when she needed it. It usually came out in her hugs, which was slightly surprising. Her arms wrapped around his waist as she held on close and Koga returned the hug briefly before patting her on the head.
"I wish not to feel like a guest in my own home." he said flatly as he looked at the bags of groceries that Janine brought back. The last thing he wanted was Janine to run out and buy massive amounts of food, so he breathed a little sigh of relief.
"How have you been little one? I apologise for not visiting more often." Koga's voice was gentle, without the usual gruffness or steeliness it normally carried.
"I know you're not a guest," she said, sounding amused, "but it's still good manners to keep a clean house." She broke the hug, and she beamed: Koga hadn't changed a single bit in the days he had been gone. Maybe the grey in his temples had spread just a tiny bit further, but that hardly matter. He seemed to be in good health, and honestly, that was all Janine cared about.
"Let me go put the groceries away, and then I shall join you." With that, she scooped up the groceries yet again and headed toward the kitchen, wasting no time putting away what she had bought. When she was done with that, she fixed herself a snack of her own-- cheese and crackers and a glass of water.
"All right then," she said to herself, taking a seat at the kotatsu. She took a sip of water, and then: "So! The plateau must be keeping you busy, I assume! How has it been? Have you fought against any worthy challengers?"
"Hmm... no trainers out of the ordinary, really. It is either I or Bruno who end up taking the majority of the unprepared ones out." he remarked calmly as he resumed sipping his tea. Work was work, he spent half of his time dealing with papers rather than actually battling trainers. Bruno sometimes made his job a bit too easy.
"I have been the same as I always have been. And what about you, Janine?" Koga focused his attention on his daughter, looking at her curiously. He was protective of her and he had respected his wishes by being less overbearing and not asking his acolytes to spy on her, unlike the past. "You have kept the gym in impeccable condition."
To be honest, in his eyes, the gym was the least of his worries. Janine was at that age where it was natural for men and women to have interest in one another. Ninjas somehow had a reputation of being very good in the sack, hence them being more desirable than most. Somehow he'd have to breach the topic delicately.
