Before you can get a reply from her, the door to the next apartment opens. The landlord, an older, cranky woman, "Yeah," she asks. "Come for the open apartment?"

"Actually," Haruka begins before a 'sales pitch' gets underway, "I was told by the tenant in 349 that you might have information on where my mom - Megumi Kushui - might have gone?  He mentioned something about a European vacation?"  She waited somewhat expectantly, though she knew to keep her excitement in check lest she get burned by an unfavorable response.

"Yeah, her. Went off 'cross Europe for some job. Paris." she nods, rubbing her back. "You're her brat," she then asks, peering at you. "You got 'er eyes and nose, surely enough."

"Paris..." Haruka repeats, touching her nose at the woman's remark to its likeness.  "You wouldn't happen to have any more information, like where in Paris she might be?  I'm looking for her, you see."

"Nope!" she exclaims, a shake of her head. "Just that she's goin' off to Paris to for some job. Lucky...her new company paid the entire way. That's what it takes for a girl to get to go to grand old Europe these days." Shaking her head, "She won't be comin' back  here, 'cept if she wants to pick up the mail that old man Hiei doesn't have the yen to ship."

With that, she nods, stepping back from her perch at the front door.  "So, if you aren't here for the apartment..."

"Thanks," Haruka tells her with a wave, allowing the woman to slink back into her cave to wait for the next unwary victim....

"Paris, huh?" she says, hoping that repeating the word would somehow make the task that sat before her less daunting.  "At least I've been there a few times, but still....  Gah.  This is going to take a while, are you sure you're up for riding shotgun on this roadtrip?" Haruka asks, turning to regard Viluy.

"I am," she assures you, smiling again. "Besides, I've never been to Paris, and I'd love to go."

She pauses, "You've been there? What's it like?"

"Like any other city, really," Haruka replies unsure how to quite describe it.  "The 'feel' of the place is different.  There's a type of relaxed energy that flows through Paris.  It makes you feel like you're walking through a dream with the leisure pace that everything seems to move in."

Haruka shrugs.  "That's at least my take on it.  It was raining a lot while I was there too so it gave it a different atmosphere.  You'll see when we get there," she tells Viluy.

Listening with piqued interest at your description, Viluy nods. "We'll see, then," she agrees. "But...did you want to take a plane, or should I call the twins," she asks, as you head back outside and into the chilly weather.

At least Paris should be warmer than this.

Haruka thinks about it for a moment before simply shaking her head.  "I don't know yet, honestly," she tells Viluy with a tired sigh.  "I suppose we can give the Twins a call tomorrow.  This is after I've at least let dad know what the situation and plan is."

A nod there, as you reach your car. "Yeah...let's call it a day," she agrees, sensing your various emotions. "Your apartment again?"

"Yeah," Haruka replies warily before fishing in her pocket for her keys that she casually flips to Viluy.  "Take the wheel though.  I've got stuff swimming in my head and I'm tired, a bad combination," she tells Viluy with a tired smile.

Home is a welcome relief.  The rest of the day passes well as can be expected, decompression in the form of normality and relaxation.  Viluy stays around you, and the two of you do nothing special to kill the afternoon.

That evening, after dinner, you call your father. It goes well enough for what you expected - he doesn't seem overwhemlingly surprised that she's in Europe, but doesn't fork over any details despite your best efforts.

Slightly later that evening, Viluy comes back into the bedroom as you lie back - having changed to your sleeping clothes for the moment, you note she hasn't yet. If anything, she's chewing on her upper lip. On entering, you can clearly see something is wrong...

"Something up?" Haruka asks curiously, turning her head so as to give full attention and study.

"The Twins said Ami's having a rough time," she replies, coming to sit on the bed next to you. Falling right back afterwards, and across your feet, she lays out.

"I don't know how serious it is, but she's up on the Moon over something."
