The neighbourhood around the Ouma Residence was fairly standard for most part. While not as close knit as other neighbourhoods, you could expect a few cheery 'good-morning's as you left for work in the morning, and a few 'good afternoon's and 'how was your day?'s. Other than that, everyone just mostly kept to themselves, the working adults out for work, kids at school and the stay-at-homes doing just that, a blessing for people like the Ouma family. Having finished with lectures for the day and the shop being fully staffed for the day, Ryuu had the day to himself, so he was here, visiting his family. His father was out at work and Shu was at school, but he still wanted to drop by, if only to pass the time while his mother worked on her article at home. Placing down a fresh mug of coffee in front of her, she smiled at her son with a quiet thank you as he took his own cup to the back door.

As he sat in the open door, an electronic chime caught his attention. Taking another large mouthful of coffee, he put the cup down to his side as he pulled his smartphone from his pocket. The screen lit up at his touch as he brought up the messaging app, reading through Natsuko's text. His face contorting slightly in distaste at the final comment, he deftly typed up a quick reply.

[[i]3rd is a bit risky, but we should be fine. I'll be there for the race as well, someone needs to watch your back out there after all :P. PK might be an issue tho. I'm not far, want me to drop by the shop? I can be there in 10.[/i]]

Tapping send, he pushed himself up from his seat and drained the last of his coffee, ignoring the slight burning in his throat as he crossed the kitchen, placing his cup into the sink before slipping back into the front room. Haruka looked up from her laptop, smiling slightly at her eldest son.

[color=violet]"Who was that?"[/color]

[color=firebrick]"Just a friend, asking about a meet-up later."[/color]

A teasing grin slipped onto the older woman's face and Ryuu held back a sigh. Even in her fourties, the woman looked and acted like she was still 25, especially the teasing.

[color=violet]"'Just a friend', huh?"[/color]

[color=firebrick]"Yes... It was Natsuko, if you must know."[/color]

The grin widened and this time he did sigh. Even if Natsuko was, as he said, just a friend, it wouldn't stop her now she had started hitting her stride. Even worse was that he was alone, so he had no-one to deflect her towards... Sighing again, Ryuu prepared for the worst.
