Gemini Snake #2

Besides dad. Eh! "- Since dad's busy enough, as long as we get back within a few days, it should be fine, right~? Or.. if we get into some kind of long-con, we can at least pop back here periodically."

"Yeah yeah! Keiji can handle that I think~"

"We [ both ] have the eye."

"This is very true! So that begs the question, who do we have selling us off? And how do we ensure Dad doesnt kill us for this stunt?"

"Ah! Oi! I was thinking of only selling you, but do you think the price will go up if we're sold as twins? Probably, right?"

"Capitalize on the red eye rumors and all that~"

“Really this.” She never really bothered with makeup. Nothing more than a lip gloss really. It’s what magic was for if she cared that much about her appearance.

"Hmmmm okay. Well perhaps something similar but more 'Polished' would work better. Keep the jacket, slightly longer shorts, maybe a different top? Honestly I think its the makeup thats going to push things in the direction you want. A solid look can make you appear more mature or more cutesy like that," he states with a snap of his fingers.

Brother, brother, he can always count on you~!

"So obviously we are scamming the black market for every penny we can get right?"

"Of course I do. That's one of the only things mom told me before she passed. Your name is Tsukasa Ida, yes?" Thank god he had magic.

He stared at the boy a mixed look of confusion and disbelief as he franticly tried to remember what he was doing back then. Had he left Japan at that time? Was there some foreigner who had been hanging around back then? He honestly couldnt recall. With a deep sigh he steadied himself, "I dont recall being with any foreign women back then but lets say you are telling the truth. Why did you come looking for me? Didnt your mother have any family who would have cared for you?" As the words left his mouth he felt that perhaps they were a bit too sharp. He had little he could offer a teen boy in terms of being a father. Even less so if he was looking for finances since most of his money went back to his own father for his sister's health care.

"Listen up! I'm gonna sell you on the black market !! "

"Lets do it!"

" OI !!! REESE !!! I had the best idea just now!!!"

"Oh oh? Tell me!"

" it's okay, daisy! i look younger than i actually am too! " kathe awkwardly finds daisy's head, patting it gently.

" and you swear she's not some supernatural creature in disguise— "

"I am genuinely uncertain, by all accounts she looks way younger then she is as well. She is pushing 10 years old but still is so full of life and doesnt seem that old to me!" Daisy gives a disgruntled bark at the comment on her age.

who are they

" very good, daisy! "

"Told ya she's smart!"

" when i ask for my tools, you grab this part of the apron, okay? "

kathe stands awkwardly. how is she supposed to treat a dog, again?

" are you sure she can be taught? guide dogs typically start training as puppies... i'm sure she could pick up some things, but not everything. "

"I dont expect her to be a perfect fit for you, but she is really smart and likes to be helpful, to the point that even I feel she is more of a person then most." So much so he once questioned if she was a Rasetsu in hiding or something "But let us hang out in the shop for a while and I'm sure you will see what I mean." He turns his attention to Daisy, "Okay girl, today you will help Kathe. Learn where things are and how to help." A quick polite bark is the response she gives.

" and what is she going to be learning, reese? " a cautious step out from behind the counter. " you know i don't do well with dogs... "

"How to help you and where she is restricted from going!" He states matter-of-factly. "You have always had poor eyesight and Daisy is really good with various tasks such as picking up things dropped, finding items if they are in the general location they normally live." He kneels and pets her head as Daisy sits panting lightly as she watches them both. "She could even help you with navigating unfamiliar areas more safely if you wanted."
