Kimiko looked at her father and shook her head. He'd returned home because he was called. She also knew about the amount of vacation time he would take at any given time. She used to go on such vacations with him and her mother often. Now, she was more keen to look after herself and give her parents time to themselves. Besides, her interests no longer required adult supervision or anything. She gave a brief sigh before answering the question of why she'd bothered returning home so late. It had a multilayer answer after all. "It is late, and I wouldn't have bothered coming back just to do so, but Kei if he is still following orders is still on vacation. I didn't want anyone worrying about where I was and notifying the authorities unnecessarily. Besides after the movie we decided we wanted to game, I have the best set up for multiplayer. That's all..." she answered honestly. There were several details missing from her answer, but those were hardly the kinds of details she'd ever share with her father.
Soon after, Kimiko got to watch as Yugi rather nervously bowed to her father and he in his usual fashion held up a hand. He would continue his conversation with Kimiko in the manner that she'd gotten used to him previewing perspective new hires in her early years. Strange as such a thing was to her, she supposed this was the first time, she was coming home with a boy in tow she was obviously interested in. That had to stir a few curiosities. "Iie, it isn't that sudden, our meetings were just a bit indirect at first. But finding someone with enough shared interests to be fun was a major undertaking. I wouldn't mention it without being certain," the girl explained of herself. If she was being honest the pair of them had been hanging out for over six months just not in this world's time. Regardless, they'd been indirectly playing tag in video games in this world for a significant amount of time as well.
As for the dinner and the conversation concerning her mother Kimiko could only chuckle. "I expect she did, since you probably didn't expect to have to be here very long. Dinner, huh? do you have plans tomorrow evening Yugi?" she asked the lad. She hadn't expected her father to be here, the least she could do was give the lad an out if dinner was a bit too scary an option for him in the moment.
While she awaited the lad's answer her father mentioned that he understood her most recent reference Kimiko looked genuinely surprised. "Hoh? Been wandering the internet, Papa?" she questioned in a joking manner. Of course, that little snide comment would become outright laughter at the idea of getting faster released from the Aeons. "Hahahahaha!~ That's hilarious," the girl managed seemingly genuinely amused. "That doesn't work that way Papa. The Aeons, don't need funding, believe me I asked. They work on whims. They write what they feel like, when they feel like it. Which means that Aeons fans, are in a constant state of anticipation waiting for the next release of their favored series. And most times the wait is so long, that you're willing to pick up anything else they write just to hold you over... and then you've just created that same problem with the new series. Perpetual agony..." she said of their works. "But they're getting movie and show deals now... so there's always that. We just came from Transylvania, it was great!" she explained though they hadn't seen the entire movie, they'd seen enough of it that she could say without question it was top notch Aeons quality material.
