Um, okay. That's a start. Things not to do.

[She will happily take any and all information please.]

Yeah. Just don't talk back to him. Not even if you got somethin' to say. That's what always gets me in trouble. Just gotta stay respectful. Probably don't gotta explain that.

I dunno. Part of the problem is he don't trust humans. But you ain't the only human he's met, and we got some close human friends at home. He's just tryin' to make sure you ain't some kind of assassin or mad scientist or somethin'. Stuff like that.

.... Right. [Except.... what if she is? Because, hey, not like she's going to tell people all the assassination jobs she's done, nor all the times dealing with mad scientists or trying to rob them like with Poon. Still, it's just someone protective of Raph. No big deal. Except, of course, it still is. Because she can't even get along with Jigen and/or Goemon due to their protective feelings of Lupin.

Oy vey.]

And if he decides I am...?

Then we'll take it from there.

[He lets out an audible breath, swallows hard at the sudden tightness in his throat.] I... I don't wanna lose you. Okay? If he says no, we'll figure somethin' out. But I'm not gonna let you get away, all right? No matter what he says.

[Blinks. That wasn't the reaction she'd quite expected.]

Raphael. Relax. [This calms her down a bit. The reminder that Raph isn't so used to having a girlfriend or woman.] I'm sure everything will be fine. He just loves you right? And if I'm a bad influence, I'll do better. Or something.

You're not, trust me. I've known worse.

[Way worse. His best friend from home is an ex-violent maniac vigilante, and in Luceti he had the likes of Goroh introducing him to alcoholism, smoking, and womanizing. Good times.]

And I like how you are. If Splinter don't like it, just do what I do and put on an act for him. He knows I do stuff he don't like, but he's cool 'long as I'm sneaky about it.

[Which, he wasn't very sneaky about you. He sort of forgot to shower after being all over you last night. Damn rat noses.]

Sneaky. I can be sneaky! [Surge of confidence there.] Okay, I'll just play nice.

You'll do great, babe.

[You can practically hear his smile. Yeah. It'll be just fine.]

Oh yeah, play up the Japanese thing too. He loves that stuff. Asked me which prefecture you're from.

Yamanashi and Tokyo, I traveled a lot. My name is for Mount Fuji though. Not hard to remember.

All right, Japanese manners, got it!

[Just hopefully, he's not too familiar with the yakuza and underground world there.]

Yeah, he'll like that. He's from Osaka, and he's crazy about anything from Japan.

Or, well. Anything but the Foot.

Oh yeah! I think you mentioned that he was. All right that shouldn't be too hard.

"The Foot?" [In which Fujiko thinks Big-Foot. :|]

Clan of ninja the Hamato clan's been fightin' for decades. They're a real pain in the shell.

Clan feud? Hm... I'm not familiar with that group though... puzzling.

Ninja. You ain't supposed to be familiar.

Still Japanese underground.

You know a lot about stuff like that?

[Interesting...]

Not ninjas.

Just the important names. [Evasive.] How far back does your sensei know of the Osaka underground?

Uh... well he was kind of a rat when he lived in Japan. Other than stuff with the Foot, probably not much.

All right. If they didn't pick fights with any of the big name yakuza, it'd have gone unknown by me.

[Vague sounds of her kicking her legs back and forth over the edge of her couch in the background.]

I got no idea. They're all tangled up with the big gangs in New York, but who knows how they do stuff in Japan.

Edited 2011-04-08 00:01 (UTC)

Ah... most of the times I've been in New York I was avoiding dealing with things like that, so that makes sense.

Yeah. [He snorts.] Could say I know a thing or two 'bout the underground there.

[Yeah, he's oh so very punny.]

Oh? Seedy~

[Lightly teasing voice, but clearly all ears for stories.]

Don't know about that. Just lived in the sewers all my life.

[A small laugh.]

Very seedy.

So are the rumors about alligators in the sewers there true?
