The Mistaken I/No Home? Oh...

[thisclinchesit]

Who: Hidari Shoutarou and the staff of Narumi Detective Agency
Where: Narumi Detective Agency, Pisces Ward
Summary: THIS ISN'T MY AGENCY WHAT THE HELL
Warnings: Grown men being immature and embarrassing.

So in the process of getting himself settled in Hinoto-Ri, Shoutarou heard from others in the city that there was a Narumi Detective Agency after namedropping the place himself - so he decided to check the place out. After all, when he'd awoken on Stacy, the Agency was there, weirdly enough - maybe it had followed him here.

However, once he followed the directions he'd gotten, and reached the building... Well. It decidedly was not the place he was familiar with, but there was the name, plain as day. A more logical person would just pass this off as a simple instance of shared names. However, Shoutarou was rather illogical at times, and this was one of them as he rather forcefully shoves the door open, and surveys the inside of the building with a terribly judgmental look.



". . ."

His Narumi Detective Agency was definitely cooler.

It was MAJESTIC.

Shoutarou straightens up and leans back just slightly, as if leaning away from this questioning. "Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?"

[amodernman]

Narumi sighed with great effort, standing up from his seat, circling around his desk, and laying a hand on Shoutarou's shoulder.

"Listen, kid-- I've been in this business for years, and bravado and showmanship isn't gonna impress anyone. People want results; you're just wasting your energy. No one's gonna be impressed."

[thisclinchesit]

Oh no he didn't.

Philip, hold my hat.

Shou raises an arm and moves to knock Narumi's arm away while moving to a colder, determined expression. "I get results just fine. There's nothing wrong with having a little flair in doing so."

[amodernman]

Narumi withdrew his arm without much offense, tucking the hand into his pocket as he gestured with his other.

"If you act like that, no one's gonna take ya seriously; can't really show your results if you can't get any work, right?"

[thisclinchesit]

Good, because all the offense was taken by the half-boiled of the pair here. He folds his arms, and while trying to look serious about things...well, he looked more like a pouting child.

"It's worked just fine for me so far - showing some confidence in one's self goes a long way."

[amodernman]

"Confidence is one thing--" And you can sure as hell bet he's still basically completely unfazed by all this. Actually, he looks like this is sort of run of the mill (though it's probably not.)

"Maybe you should take your time enjoying bein' a kid if you're gonna act like it, though."
