[Shockingly, Phillip actually looks a little stressed today.]

Um...! Can anybody help me come up with a lie? [Oh. That's why. For those that know Phillip, he's one of the worst liars ever. Ironic, since he's a pretty good actor.]

I'm trying to not let my parents know I'm Numbered, but I kind of echoed back speaking Japanese and for the first couple of days I accidentally spoke some in front of them, but I said Hajime taught me some words, but apparently I had an entire conversation with a lady in Japanese in front of them and didn't notice and now I kind of have to explain it. I said I was kind of just saying the words I knew and that she was really nice about it but I'm not sure they believe me.

That is a problem.

Hajime is a boy's name, right? Do they have an older sister?

Written

[darkhourdear]

He has a sister, yeah. I don't remember if she's older. Why?

Well, a kid with a 'crush' can end up doing pretty ridiculous things and then be embarrassed when called out on it.

Written

[darkhourdear]

But I don't have a crush on anybody. [phillip you're missing the point.]

[...Uh-oh]

What did they say about it?

Text

[darkhourdear]

Something about me picking it up really fast.

[mimicery]

No, I meant...did they react negatively to it or anything? Like...anything at all?

[If Phillip's parents aren't reacting well to this? Well, there goes Katie's chances of telling her parents too]

[darkhourdear]

No, they just thought it was weird. [He doesn't realize she might be talking about the numbers in general.]

[prismaticdestruction]

Uh...That's a big one. Mine came slowly so..

You could say you were learning online?

[darkhourdear]

Don't you have to get parental permission for stuff like that?

[prismaticdestruction]

Some of it! There are a few sites that don't ask for age or anything.

[darkhourdear]

Oh. I should probably see if I can find an actual one.

[Toushirou can't help thinking that it's weird that Phillip is Pulsing back Japanese, while he actually has to study it. That just seems wrong, considering his other was pretty obviously Japanese.]

How did you manage to not notice you were speaking another language? [Priorities.]

Voice

[darkhourdear]

You mean when I was talking to the lady?

Voice

[icy_heavens]

[Sigh.] Of course that's what I meant.

[Asking Phillip questions is always harder than it needs to be, isn't it?]

Voice

[darkhourdear]

It's... [hm. how does he explain this.] I guess it's kind of I default towards whatever language is language I feel like I should be speaking? So when I'm just with my parents, speaking English is easy. But the lady was speaking Japanese, so I talked to her Japanese without thinking about it.

[chalicejoker]

What kind of conversation did you have with her?

[Video]

[darkhourdear]

Um... a normal one, I guess? She had a puppy and so I asked her what type it was and told her about Gloria.

[chalicejoker]

Maybe...maybe you could say we saw someone with a dog at the festival, and I taught you some words about dogs then?

[Video]

[darkhourdear]

Oh! Ok. That could work for that.

Someone suggested I pretend I've been working really hard because I wanted to impress your sister is something. [he has no idea how old your sister is.]

[ He pauses. He's kind of wary about giving his name after everything that's been happening with the Numbered and the targeted attacks. But creativity isn't his strong point and really, the only name that comes into his head is his other's. ]

[darkhourdear]

I'm pretty sure if they found out I was part of all this they'd get super overprotective.
