[After she took her son to tour the Unity Group base, Sarah...vanished. For a solid week, she didn't show up at all. Recently she's been around, but hasn't talked to people too much...she never was really a huge buddy-buddy team member, though, so that sort of thing isn't odd.

It is odd when, out of the blue, she'll walk up to you and engage conversation. Her right arm is bandaged up as well, for some reason.]

Hey, are you free? I...kinda want to hang out.

[Ken meanwhile, is hanging off a beam, feet above him. He's not exactly working himself to death as with previous cases, but... well, exercise lets him vent frustrations over his teammate's current status.]

Where we going?

[He asks, upside down.]

[63rd_shockwave]

I dunno, wherever you want to hang out? Arcade, junk yard, skatepark, anything's good.

And get down from there, you look silly.

[tiger_ken]

Silly...?

[He does one pull-up from that position, before flipping off the frame.]

Its training. Partly because... I don't know that many places to just 'hang out' either.

[...Although, he does briefly pause to think.]

There's this one café. Kanade showed it to me.

[Grabbing his jacket, he gestures for Sarah to follow.]

[63rd_shockwave]

Seriously? You don't like, hang out with girls or go drinking with friends? I used to do that stuff all the time...

...Well, whatever, show the way.
[And she'll follow along.]

[tiger_ken]

G-Girls?!

[Well that got Ken all a-fluster.]

W-Well, I would, its just... I don't make much out of being a janitor... and I'm pretty sure the ones I might ask are too busy for boyfriends...

[What a blabbermouth of a ninja.]

[63rd_shockwave]

Not here, like at school. And besides, you're a Qi-awakened fighter. That's gonna be worth something, even if you're not particularly interesting.

...You've got hobbies outside of training and...being a janitor, right?

[tiger_ken]

But... none of the girls at school seem that interesting anymore. Plus I... haven't gotten quite so good at ki generation, instead of simply manipulation, so...

[He shakes his head.]

Nothing at all.

[63rd_shockwave]

Well, fine...Still, you should probably hang out with some of the kids your age. And you know, most people can't do any supernatural martial arts, or even regular martial arts.

Sheesh, you're so serious. Even I was messing around in my off time back then...

[tiger_ken]

Raised by ninja parents. It was only when I was about... I dunno, eleven, twelve? That I started realising that the way they were raising me maybe wasn't... normal.

[He shrugs.]

I mean, I have friends, its just... most of them are pilots. Adult pilots. Maybe once my birthday hits, things' ll change.
