"I thought Kodachi was only bring the essentials." Theo said, slightly sarcastically. He didn't really mind that Kodachi wanted to bring so much with her, he knew his magic could handle the teleportation of all the articles... He was just miffed because he thought this would take only a half hour to an ahour at most, and they had already been here two hours.
Sasuke nodded his head. "She is. Her studies and experimentation in botanical science is VERY important to her. She doesn't want to lose ANY of her research."
Sighing lightly, Theo nodded his head. He could understand that, slightly. If his family had to move, he knew Gina wouldn't do anything short of uprooting her lab, as to make sure she had EVERYTHING with her. Deciding to change the topic, Theo asked, "What was she studying?"
"Let me think." Sasuke said. He mumbled to himself and held up a finger. "There were safer, non-toxic paralaysis poweders... Her all natural anti-venoms... There were her deadly poisons... There were her rare breeds and flower specimens... And her own man-made specimens..." Looking at Theo, Sasuke said, "Do you know Kodachi created a breed of blue roses?"
Sweat-dropping slightly, Theo said, "You don't say..." Letting out a sigh, Theo was beginning to regret giving the Kitsune a place to stay at his home. Hopefully none of his family would be infected by the poisons she was carrying.
Shifting and wringing his hands nervously, Sasuke asked out of the blue, "Dr. Diggers... Can I ask a personal request?"
Raising an eyebrow to that, Theo asked, "Oh? All right. What is it, Mr. Riche?"
"Sasuke, please." Sasuke said. Gathering his courage, Sasuke asked, "If it's all right, could you, some time, bring me down to the Castle of Shoes to visit my daughter. I haven't seen my Mo-mo since she was a little girl."
Looking at Sasuke's hopeful expression, Theo let out a drawn-out sigh. "All right, all right. However, I will be there to make sure that nothing goes wrong, and that the leprechauns will be willing to let you see her."
Sasuke jumped down from the crate he wa ssitting on and bowed on his hands and knees. "Oh, thank you! Thank you, Dr. Diggers! This means so much to me! I promise to make it up to you!"
Waving a hand, Theo said, "Relax, relax. It's all right. I can understand your need to see your daughter and make sure she's all right." Smiling slightly, Theo said, "I'm a father too, you know."
Nodding his head, Sasuke said, "Yes, Dr. Diggers."
As Theo and Sasuke chatted, Kodachi came back into view from behind a building. "Dr. Diggers. May I please have some assistance?"
"Oh?" Theo asked. "What is wrong?"
"Mr. Midorigame doesn't want to leave." Kodachi answered. "He seems very content with staying here, and I don't want to leave him at the mercy of my brother."
Theo raised an eyebrow. "Really now? It shouldn't be too hard to move a turtle..."
"Turtle?" Kodachi repeated. "Who said anything about Mr. Midorigame being a turtle?"
"But," Theo said, "I thought you had a turtle? I mean his name is 'Mr. Greeen Turtle'."
Kodachi shook her head. "Oh, that's just what I named him." She answered. "Mr. Miorigame is an American Alligator."
"A WHAT!?" Theo asked.
"An American Alligator." Kodachi answered.
"Oh no..." Theo said. "There is no way I am letting you bring an alligator into my home. Even I have my limits."
Kodachi whimpered. "B, but if I don't bring him with me... I just know my brother and father will do evil things to Midorigame! I can't leave him to such a fate! Oh please, PLEASE reconsdier, Dr. Diggers."
Looking into Kodachi's misty eyes, Theo sighed. "My wife is going to have a bird, but... All right. Lead me to your pet."
"Oh, thank you!" Kodachi thanked. Smiling brightly, she said, "Follow me, please."
Seeing the Kitsune bounce toward the back, Theo sighed again. His wife was either going to kill him for bringing poisons and an alligator into his home... "Or she's going to be happy and incorporate them into her students' workout regime."
"Oh, that means he likes you!"
