There is a nod as they walk, her eyes glancing at every store window as if searching. If they were in downtown Tokyo the amount of tourist shops would make this easier but she really hates to use a bus or a subway if only because she hates being closed in.

“Well hopefully you’ll stay for good. It’s nice having you around, Hakuba-san,” she says.

“Thank you, Ran-san. It’s pleasant being here. I don’t know about ‘for good’, but I do hope to be able to settle in one spot for longer. At least until I finish high school, or Kid is caught.”

He looked through the windows and at signs as well, but really, his hopes weren’t too high for coming across a shop that happened to sell black teas like what they might have in London. To his knowledge, it’s one thing to have a cup of those types in Japan, considering the amount of and variety of cafes available, but actually finding it to make oneself seemed like it’d be better suited to being ordered. He doesn’t mind just keeping her company, though.

“That’d be nice, Hakuba-San,” she says with a relieved smile. “Speaking of are you still moving between here and London?” She asks as they begin walking.

The teen nodded, falling in line to walk beside her.

“I am, though it’s starting to get less frequent. Most of the back and forth was due to not expecting to be in Japan so long and needing to settle a few things, though a few trips were due to cases. With any luck, though, I should be around more for the time being.”

princess-ran:

“Is there any place I can order them here? Or would I have to go online? Heh you are very knowledgeable on tea Hakuba-San,” she says with a wide grin. Of course she’s a bit of a tea enthusiast herself but when it came to different tea and their properties and what effects they had: She was clueless.

“Hmm… As knowledgeable as I may be, I’m actually not sure about whether there’s any places nearby that would have good blends. I normally bring most of my own from London myself…”

He paused in thought, then smiled at her. “I wouldn’t mind helping you look around, though, Ran-san.”

princess-ran:

“Well she is a very serious woman, intense and awe inspiring but she can be so petty. She’s usually very high strung and stressed so I suppose a tea that could relax her?” Really Ran’s expertise was more in food not teas so.

Although she really couldn’t help but wonder if something was off with Hakuba she couldn’t quite place her finger on it tho.

“Well, then something like the chamomile I mentioned or a lavender tea would likely help with that. They aren’t as strong of flavours like the usual black teas most people think of when they consider English teas. They’re more herbal, and don’t have caffeine, so they help to make others relax.“

“Though, those are also more to help with unwinding at night, I suppose. Hence why I might have a cup every once in a while… If she gets stressed, say, during work, then perhaps Darjeeling would be better… It also relieves stress, but the caffeine adds a boost, so it’s a better option for when you need to both feel both energised and relaxed.”

princess-ran:

She can’t lie that smile of his does make her her kind of weak. “I did! Um, I wanted to find some new teas for my mother and she’s become fond of English teas, but I wasn’t sure which ones would be the best?” 

“For your mother? You’re quite thoughtful, Ran-san. Unfortunately, there’s never quite such a thing as ‘the best’ when it comes to teas in general. It depends on mood and the person’s own tastes. I myself prefer Earl Grey normally, though I also have chamomile tea from time to time, since it helps with stress and insomnia. May I hear a little information about your mother? Such as general personality and job.”

“Yeah…” Well Ran was pretty bold when she got the itch to do something. “Sorry…it’s jsut you looked so much like my friend Shinichi…his hair does something similar when he doesn’t brush it and I kind of wandered if it felt the same as his hair. My curiosity is satisfied." 

"Ah… okay then… A little warning might be nice, though.” Odd, but okay. But it’d be more than a little hypocritical to comment on that, considering how many things he did on impulses himself. Curiosity he understood, just the randomness coming from Mouri-chan that surprised him.
