040/006 - Wet shoes drag you off to school / shoes that never dry

[And there is a wet and dripping Misaki, her uniform soaked through and her bag drenched as well. She stands shivering on the plane, rubbing her arms.]

Must have been important, I guess.

My dad locked me out, I guess.

He locked you out?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Well not on purpose.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Did you forget your key?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Must've. I can't find it. [Rubs at her ear with the towel]

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

How long do you think he'll take to get back?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Shrug] If he's not back by tonight I'll call Kanami to let me stay over.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

--he might not come back tonight?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Pauses in her hair-scrubbing] He's a cop. He has to stay out sometimes.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

Don't you have a way to communicate with him in case something happens?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Phones, I guess. But I don't want to go back out in the rain--our apartment has an overhang.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I could get you an umbrella?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Surprised] It's okay. He probably wouldn't get the message right away anyway. I can wait until the rain lets up.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

...how long do you think you'll have to wait?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Shrug] It doesn't really matter. If my books aren't soaked, I can probably get some homework done.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

--you can't do your homework in the rain.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

...I'm not in the rain.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You're still wet.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I can dry off here.
