“Ah…” Well. That was one way of saying it.

He folded his hands and looked at the mess of papers and clippings scattered across the desk. His desk was usually tidy to the point of it being nearly clinical. He had his secrets, and he liked to keep them that way but– staying with Arima had made that much more difficult than it had been when he’d been swathed in the comfort of the Chateau 

This life was… a different kind of comfort. He wasn’t afraid of keeping secrets anymore. He trusted their safety when they were out of the office and away from prying eyes. Trust that had always been firm had become rock solid.

Ayyy, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope today will be extra special for you and that you’ll enjoy it to the fullest!! 

Karren is attending college pursuing a degree in music because (1) Nathanael and Arunolt both had an education, and (2) Nathanael and Arunolt both weren't sure she could do it.  She kept bugging Nathanael.  She bought a backpack and kept leaving it places around the house.  And one day when she went to move it she found it filled with fake documents and several acceptance letters. 

There is a clock in every classroom, and Karren has sensitive hearing.  Sometimes when you walk down the hall and a lot of classroom doors are open and there aren't a lot of other sounds to cover it up, you can hear a lot of them, calling to you.  She protested a lot when her brothers dared suggest she go around with a service dog, but having a furry neck to grab the scruff of makes all the difference, when she has to face that siren song of the clocks.

She can tell herself that the clocks can't hurt her, they're just things.  But when she spots Arima himself, the CCG's most prized investigator, snooping around campus with his little flock of doves, that kind of thinking won't.... Arima will kill her.  If he finds out what she is, he'll kill her.  Are they here for her??  For some other ghoul???  For some... event... talking to students... about something...????

She's beyond grateful for the service dog when it licks her face and wakes her up, she must have fainted... oh shit there's no one else around, the doves are coming over... well she clearly has something wrong with her, she's got a dog...she has an excuse for telling them to keep their distance.  She's so grateful for the dog, so grateful, it's incredible.  How suspicious is it, exactly, for someone to faint after seeing the CCG's fucking white reaper unexpectedly?  LOOK, THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH HER, SHE HAS A DOG AND EVERYTHING!  She can faint wherever she damn pleases, thanks very much...!!!

When I was studying in Japan, some kids goaded me into playing on a playground with them. I got a bit over zealous and fell down a set of stairs that were waaaaay too narrow for my feet (as in the planks in the stairs were so thin my heel slipped right off.)

I slid down the damned things on my heel, and I would’ve been fine, but my arm caught on the railing just in such a way that the underside of it swelled up like a softball and turned purple and red. x.x

Arima could swear he heard tiny meows, but it didn’t hit him until his office door was pushed open and Haise appeared with kittens in his arms. He blinked slowly and slightly cocked his head tot he side.

“Haise, why do you have kittens in the office?”

Suddenly they were brought over and placed into his lap. He couldn’t help but smile slightly as a hand lifted to stroke the pure white one. “They’re cute.”

     ⌠☾⌡ Ah, yes. The pleasing sound of many tiny meows, as the kittens escaped from his arms and onto the lap of the other. Much better! Arima covered in kittens was the only kind of acceptable Arima. “I found them not too far from home! I didn’t know what to do with them but I didn’t want to leave them alone, something could have hurt them.” There he goes again, those mother-like instincts kicking in even just for a bunch of kittens. Oh but he couldn’t help it! They were so small and defenseless and plain downright adorable.

      Aww, Arima had picked up one that looked just like him. For a moment, Haise couldn’t but wonder if they even had similar personalities. There was sometimes Arima was a touch cat like. In every good way that is!
