It must be nice, being able to catch your own fish. It's such a rewarding experience. In the time I'm from, it's just more convenient to buy it. There really isn't much fishing in my area.
[It's mostly just a fox wanting the reward of killing prey, honestly, but it's still a sad thing, convenience.]
I get along with both of them well. He's actually asked me to come work for his company after high school, if I choose not to go to university. He's a good man, and makes my mother happy. That's enough for me, really.
[Kurama checks on the bits of tofu, turning as necessary.]
Tell me about your family, Majima-san. Any siblings?
As it turns out, I've got a younger brother, too. Not by blood or anythin', though. He's 4 cm taller than me, and a lot bigger.
Out of the two of us, I'm the reasonable one.
[ It seemed so much more believable now than it would be in the future Kiryu had seen. Majima retrieved the tea leaves, as well an infuser that looked like it had seen quite a bit of use. ]
You got an idea of what you want to be when you're done with school?
Sometimes, blood isn't what matters. You being the reasonable one, though... I worry for your brother, if that's the case.
[He has to. He can't not reach for that opening.]
Not really. I don't know what sort of future I may have. It could turn out that I can't stay with my family any longer. I suppose I'll just have to wait and see.
[He smiles cheerily, still.]
Are you living the sort of life you've wanted to live?
I'd say I'm probably living closer to what I wanted than I was a couple years back... Things were hectic enough that I mostly just focused on the day-to-day. Not a lot of time to really think about life goals or anythin', if ya know what I mean.
[He waves his hands in a placating gesture. Of course that's what he means, right?]
Anyway, I can imagine. You'll keep striving for it, won't you? Take some time and look towards a future, if you ever have the luxury. One day, perhaps you'll make it there.

wanna wrap this one since december event's here?
Yeah, one nice thing about only gettin' chased around here about once a month. Plenty of time to think.
sure thing!
Yes, it does have its benefits. That it keeps to a schedule certainly helps, too.
[Kurama moves to the stove, pulling the tofu off as it finishes.]
Well, let's eat. We shouldn't linger too long. That incense won't last forever.
