Case: 008

{{ →!Action | 915 Bilko Boulevard | Before School }}

[ Conan has kept to himself for a while and stayed out of everyone's way. He's been locking himself in his room and only coming out at meal times. He's been exhibiting some very anti-social behavior that may or may not cause some to discussion. Hoping to avoid socialization being forced on him, Conan decides that maybe he should make some attempt at seeming like a normal child. ]

[ He stumbles out of his room with his hair sticking up at odd ends and moves to the kitchen, clambering into a seat for breakfast, expertly ignoring the milk and going straight for orange juice. ]

[ Well that was an interesting breakfast. No matter, it was strange but being in Mayfield, Strange is run-of-the-mill, Which means that Conan's going to have to put it out of his mind. For now. He focuses mainly on his school work for as long as his brain will allow before he can feel it starting to melt inside his skull and pulls out a Mystery Novel that doesn't exercise his mind near enough and proceeds to ignore the teacher. ]

[Maladict will just stare at him over the cup of coffee. No, Conan, you can't go crazy on her now, you're the one she can actually stand to be around for any length of time]

...Are you...sick?

[1_truth]

Hmm? [ He looks up just as he finishes pouring his juice ]

No. Why do you ask?

[mal_addict]

Well, you've been holed up in your room for a while. I almost wondered if you were building some kind of bomb or something up there.

[1_truth]

Oh. No, I wouldn't build bomb. [ Not saying that he can't. ] Just going over somethings.

I decided to come out because If I keep to myself too much Ran-neechan will probably say something.

[mal_addict]

More like she'll drag you out by your ankles.

[1_truth]

Y-yeah.. [ She wouldn't have too.. all she'd have to do is pout at him and he'll do whatever she asks. ]

[mal_addict]

So, what? You're being sociable again now? Or as close to sociable as you get, anyway.

[1_truth]

I get enough socialization. It's just that, as a detective, there are more important matters on my mind than making friends.

[mal_addict]

Funny, I was under the impression that making friends was the number one priority for a kid.

[1_truth]

Not all children are the same.

[mal_addict]

You keep telling yourself that.

[1_truth]

What's that supposed to mean?

[mal_addict]

You're a smart boy, I'm sure you can figure it out yourself. [Siiiiiips her coffee]
