Japan Blurb
been watching the schlatt japan vlogs and suddenly i wrote this...
Aurora loved Japan, her and her dad went almost every year and it was always something she looked forward to. While she disliked how he had to film during trips, it didn't put a damper on them since usually there was one full day where she got to pick what they did.
"Jack this is Aurora, Aurora this is Jack" Schlatt introduces them. Aurora had heard about Jack, he was the British one that her dad did streams with some times.
"hello!" she beamed with a wave to the British man. the group begins to walk, Aurora falling in line with Jack, still in her dad's eyeline, "do you know any Japanese?" she peers up at him
Jack shakes his head with a small laugh "i know hello and thank you.. 'm rubbish" Aurora's nose scrunches at the British colloquialism, Jack brushes it off with another laugh "you know any?" he glances at her.
Aurora nods with a smile, happy to show off her skill to anyone who will listen "yeah!" she hops "i know こんにちは、私の名前は, Aurora! that means 'hello, my name is aurora'" she glances to make sure he is following, when she receives a nod and continues "私は父と別れました… that means ''m separated from dad'… but 友達 means friend.. so if you get separated from us you can say that instead cause my dad isn't your dad." her explanation causes him to laugh, but she doesn't notice, or at least let it stop her from continuing, "恐竜 is 'dinosaur' and ミュージアム is 'museum'" she skips slightly ahead of the Brit, creening her head backwards to look at him "that's my favorite cause I really like dinosaurs and museums"

The day with Ludwig was fun. Going into the trip Aurora knew she was going to see her Uncle Lud, but it was still exciting to see him. When they got out of the taxi and arrived at the hotel he was already standing there waiting for them. She greeted him with a bright smile and a wave, knowing that cameras were rolling. Once both Trevor and Jack put their cameras down she moved to give him a hug. "hey kid," Ludwig greets the youngest with a smile. Their fists clash with a fist bump, causing him to shake his hand out in dramatics "Jesus! you're getting strong, i cant even give you a fist bump anymore" his words causing giggles to leave her. She follows the group as they move to the elevators and see Ludwig's expensive view. As the group films their clips, Aurora takes the time to explore the room. She opens practically all of the cabinets, looking at all the little things the hotel used for decoration.
Eventually they all settle, TV softly playing in the background as they go over plans for the drifting thing they have planned tomorrow. Aurora mostly tunes them out, her and Connor were Ghibli museum while they filmed. "are we getting dinner?" her dad's words cause her to look up, now two sets of brown eyes staring at Ludwig.
"yeah we can get dinner" he nods, answering them. His words cause the girl to stand from the floor and move to put her shoes back on.

at the sight of the pet store, the girl's eye practically turned to stars, a large gasp leaving her and she tugs on his arm"dad! dad! dad! dad we have to go see, dad we have to dad-!"
"alright, alright, 'm coming" he chuckles
the cats in the small plexiglass boxes turned the eight year old into a live wire "look!" she tugs, eyes glued to the small animals "子猫" she mutters softly in awe (kitty). Schlatt chuckles, swinging her to his side, her legs and arms wrapping around him. At the new, taller, height she was able to see the top row of the cats better and leaned forward "they're so cute" she mumbles.
Trevor is next to the duo, filming the cats. when Aurora clambers down from her father's hold to crouch on the ground next to him to see the cats on the bottom he turns the cam corder to Schlatt. Schlatt jingles his bag of yen at them, laughing when the cat looks. Trevor films a bit of Aurora cooing at the cats, her fingers petting the glass in an attempt, knowing that Schlatt would want the footage for himself.
The three of them move further into the store, toward the dogs. Aurora giggles softly at her dad almost knocking over boxes, muttering a small "すみません" to the worker. Trevor and her dad moved toward the dogs, filming and making jokes while Aurora stayed near the cats. Eventually Jack walks in, filming, causing her to duck slightly so he can get a shot walking in and with her dad in it. After he fully walks in he mutters a small "'s alright" to her, making her uncurl and continue to watch the cats.
When she hears her dad asking the worker if they can pet the cat she springs up, hands shaking in excitement. The orange cat is now on Schlatt's lap and she has to clench her hands into fists to allow both Jack and Trevor to get the shot before she can pet the cat too. After a beat, Schlatt looks up and sees his daughter staring at the cat with that look in her eye. He nods at her, mouthing a small 'its okay' causing her to move forward and softly pet the cat. "hello" she whispers to the cat. "he's so cute" she mumbles to her dad "he's like Jambo, but not" her words causing him to laugh.
