The next few weeks passed with ease, Kaito's garden got emptied of all the dead plants, Saguru returned to working- though not as much as he had worked before, and Kaito took it easy as he recovered his magic. Now the magician's magic was completely recovered, so technically he could have returned to work, but he opted into just being on call for emergencies. He wouldn't be getting paid as much, but Saguru had inherited a lot of money, meaning that neither of them actually needed to work.

Indigos gleamed as Kaito brought in the package that he'd received. The special red figure skates that he'd ordered had finally arrived. They'd been specially made so that the insides wouldn't irritate Yozora if her socks rolled down while she was skating. The blade guards were black instead of red for contrast. He'd gotten himself simple but well made black figure skates. Saguru and Aoko already had their own, he himself had been the only one besides Yozora who hadn't had a pair.

Kaito was both excited and nervous to actually put them to use. He'd made a promise though, so he wouldn't back out of it! The magician set the box down onto the coffee table next to Yozora's discarded science textbook "Your skates are here" Kaito grinned, Yozora had been reading something on her phone.

"Oh" Yozora sat up straighter from where she'd been slumped on the couch "I didn't think that speciality items arrived fast" She'd thought that it'd take at least a month! They weren't mass produced like a lot of things after all.

The magician stifled a snicker "It did arrive slow, at least compared to some places that have one or two day delivery"

Yozora blinked "That is really fast..." Such a thing didn't seem like it'd be such an easy thing to do.

"Yup" Kaito nodded, tapping the box "Anyways, why don't you open it now since you're already taking a break" A box cutter appeared in his hand, he offered it to her.

"Okay" Yozora accepted the box cutter and opened the box, smiling when she saw the ruby red skates "They're so pretty" The black laces really made the red pop out more.

"I figured you'd like them" Kaito was glad that they'd followed his instructions, it would have been awkward if they'd sent the wrong pair by mistake "Now we can go skating whenever Saguru or Aoko are free" The magician grinned "Later today if you want and a big case doesn't come up"

Yozora smiled, hugging the non bladed parts of her skates against her chest "I hope it works out" She understood that sometimes Saguru couldn't just drop a case without it being an emergency. Cases were ongoing things that sometimes took longer than what was expected. It wasn't like working at a store where you could normally just clock out when your shift was over.

"We're both going to wear helmets, because I'm bad with ice and we don't know how good you'll be" The magician was a good example on how good balance didn't always mean that you were good at skating.

The girl nodded "Falling on ice can be dangerous, I don't want to crack my head open" It didn't seem like a pleasant experience and she was more than happy to not include it in future experiences.

"I've actually gotten a few concussions from slipping on ice" Kaito added with a grimace "After the last one Aoko gave up on trying to get me to skate with her" He'd viewed it as a boon, once he'd recovered that is.

"At least you can heal now" Yozora replied, putting the skate guards on the skates before starting to put said skates onto her feet "I want to get used to them before I skate" The internet had told her that trying to skate in new skates didn't feel good until they were broken in.

"I'll just heal any blisters that form, I'd rather not be stuck in skates around the house" He also might break something if he fell in the wrong direction and knocked something over.

Yozora just shrugged and Kaito left her to smile at her skates. He wanted to sleep a bit if they were going to head out tonight. He'd noticed that he'd had slightly less energy ever since he'd properly woken up, Shinichi had been the same for a good while but he'd gotten back to normal. It was another reason why he'd decided to just be on call for emergencies, if he was at the hospital, he'd be tempted to go overboard and overwork himself in order to heal everyone that he could. He didn't have the energy to go at his job like he'd used to, and he didn't have the willpower to go easy at it, so he was taking a break. At least Akako had confirmed that he was fine and that his energy would go back to normal eventually.

Kaito shot a smile at Fluffy as he passed her on the stairs, the kitten still never let him pet her. That was fine though, he had Tsuki. Said dove cooed happily when he entered his bedroom, Tsuki liked to spend most of her time here "Hi Tsuki" Kaito gently scooped up the elderly dove, bringing her up to his cheek to nuzzle. He quickly checked her food and water, making sure that she'd eaten and hadn't just stayed in the same place all day. She'd eaten and drank water. Kaito then carefully plopped her down onto her own pillow-the one she used when Kaito was using his own "Wake me up in a bit" Kaito jokingly asked.

Tsuki just cooed softly, tilting her head before hopping over and settling next to his cheek. Kaito laughed, moving her back to the pillow "I love you so I don't want to crush you" He was planning to actually sleep, not cuddle with the dove. Tsuki seemed to wilt a bit. Kaito sighed, laying down so that his hand was on Tsuki's pillow. Tsuki cooed happily, nuzzling the hand. Why did his dove have to be so cute?

Me: So a nice and calm chapter~

The weather is finally cooling down to pleasant temperatures ^-^ wish my nose wasn't cold though

It's ideal blanket snuggle weather and it has me wondering... Did my room's heat source break? 0 .0 it should feel as cold as it does... Even though I like it

I do not wanna pull out the mini heater for my rats. It takes up a plug spot •^•
