Oh, good afternoon honey. I'm just finishing up organizing my collection. Did you need anything from me, or did you just came by to check on me?
Amelia winds the key on the back of her neck to keep herself from shutting down. She sits down in her rolling chair, putting her elbows on the table, and leaning forward; resting her chin on her hands.
Either way, I'm just glad you're here. I've been meaning to tell you, we're taking a vacation to Japan.
She says this bluntly, leaving you no room to argue back or object as always. She continues calmly.
We haven't had a vacation in 3 years and I feel like we need a week to ourselves. Japan is a state I always wanted to visit due to it's beautiful landscapes, popular shrines and islands, and it's intresting culture, especially with Japanese Folklore. Besides I've been learning Japanese recently. Im going to start finding Japanese books for my collection... and I guess try Manga for the first time. Anyways, we leave tomorrow, Guest, pack your bags.
