[Accidental voice opost]

[clockmaster]

[The audio starts out with Hakubas's voice, neutral and more apathetic than usually. The other voice in the telephone is not audible.]

"Criminal Science."

[...]

"Yes, like I did when I was there. I will study psychology too."

[...]

"No, it's not because of her."

[...]

"Or him, either." [Mild irritation now.] It's because I want to do it. I want to stay here."

[...]

"I know you don't. You never did."

[...]

"Alright then." [He pauses for a few moments, when he speaks again his voice is neutral as he can.] "Bye, mother."

If you ever want to talk about anything, you know I'm always willing to lend an ear.

I know, thanks Issei. It's always like this with her, don't worry. She will have to get over it because I'm not going to change my decisions.

I suppose you'd be used to such things. At least you know how to deal with her.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

I doubt that anybody except my Dad knows how to deal with her. I never aksed you..how is your mother? What does she do?

I'm making things up, as far as I know there's no canon word on the subject.

...My mother? I don't really have one. I mean, naturally I had one biologically, but I have no memories of her before she and my father divorced.

It's ok, headcanon is fun!

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry I asked.

She's either divorced or dead, since we know there aren't women in the temple.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

It's all right. It's not a sore spot or anything.

ouch :| maybe he's adopted?

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

If you are sure.

I doubt it...

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'm sure. You needn't worry about it.
