[Honestly, he was kind of expecting to get told off for jokingly implying they handle the great detective like an untrained puppy? So. Score one for Ryunosuke.]
I suppose she must just be immune to it, having grown up with him and all...
I'll admit, I'm tempted to just leave him where he is and go for a walk. I get the sense he's trying to bait me into asking further questions, and I'm not sure I want to play along.
[ LISTEN……she doesn’t have a problem. And perhaps he was right to fear a tongue-lashing, but even those she has a deep admiration for like Sholmes and her father do not get a pass. Particularly if he has done this multiple times.
It’s time to buck up…! If anyone can save the Great Detective from himself, it’s Naruhodo-san. ]
If he is alone, it is likely he will become bored and come out of it anyway. If not, tell him I will give him a good tossing later. [ Right onto......the settee!!! ]
[ Susato sighs, shaking her head as she closes a journal she'd been writing in like a diary. It's rare that they have downtime, but she'll make him study twice as hard later to make up for it.
At the very least, they don't have a case right now, so...
When Ryunosuke finds her at the park, she will be looking up at a particularly dark, gray cloud. In her hands are two steaming cups of tea, but she wonders whether they'll even be able to enjoy it now. Curse you, London rain... ]
[ooc: just to be sure, I'm assuming this is some kind of modern AU? since they were texting LOL...]
[It doesn't take him very long at all to make his way out to the park, and when he spots her he waves a quick greeting before trotting the rest of the way over.]
Figures that it would threaten to rain the second I leave the house... [he notes the extra tea in her hand and smiles warmly, nodding towards it.] Is that for me?
[ Susato recognizes that voice, the inflections in the way it complains. It hasn't started raining just yet, so she looks down from the dreary sky and turns to him, smiling softly in return.
She hands him the cup that has so quickly grabbed his attention. ]
Of course. I see you didn't need to dance to deduce that one.
[ Because she is such a good judicial assistant, it is probably the exact flavor he prefers. ]
[Ryunosuke looks just slightly embarrassed about that, fidgeting bashfully in his usual manner.]
Ah! Yes. Well... You know. I didn't want to just assume...
[...But he takes the cup gratefully, and, yeah, of course it's the right flavor, because Susato never misses a beat. He's been taking black tea more than green lately, with just a bit of sugar and cream to satisfy his sweet tooth.
...Of course, correct flavor or not, he's still probably going to guzzle it down at an obscene speed, as is his way with tea. But he WILL enjoy it.]
...Thank you. This is exactly what I need to soothe my nerves after all the caterwauling.
[ She watches for his reaction, which is about what she expected. It's only after he confirms that she had gotten it right that she feels she can enjoy her own cup; so lifts it for a sip as she feels the first drop of rain touch upon the side of her face. ]
You're welcome.
[ That bad, huh...? Goodness, Mr Sholmes...... You're making it very hard to defend you. ]
I do enjoy our walks here. It helps clear the mind, though it seems like we may have to cut things short.
[He says it as he casts a wary eye up towards the skies. And then a rain drop doinks him on the forehead and he frowns slightly, looking vexed.]
...Ugh. I really should have thought ahead and brought an umbrella along with me...
[ He's far more worried about his negligence causing poor Susato to get soaked than he is about himself. Drastic measures may need to be taken, if it does start to pour on them here. ]
[ By now... yes. Yes, they both should have anticipated it. Susato stares at him, but aside from a playful wag of her finger, she can't find it within herself to scold him too much. Not when she hadn't thought to bring an umbrella either. ]
It's alright, Mr Naruhodo. That is where I come in, your ever faithful judicial assistant! I don't have an umbrella with me today either, but... I do have my shawl.
[ She tugs at the deep purple cloth draped around her shoulders, then reaches for the sakura blossom clip that keeps it together. ]
We can share it while we decide where we should go next. And quickly. [ He shouldn't just stand there! ]
[He casts his eyes down from the skies and is surprised to see her already reaching to unfasten the shawl, giving him a minor start.]
And here I was about to offer you my jacket! Really, I appreciate the offer, that's very considerate of you but-- Won't we risk stretching it or damaging it in some way, splitting it between the two of us?
...Well... [ Susato shrinks a little as she brings the shawl around. The sakura clip, meanwhile gets tucked away, probably into hammerspace her kimono sleeves. She frowns. ] Perhaps it is a tad small, but it is better than nothing...? It's very durable, and quite warm. It shouldn't be damaged too badly...
[Ryunosuke blinks, taken aback for a moment, though he's clearly touched by her concern. He breaks into a warm and reassuring smile.]
Oh! Well that's kind of you, but you really needn't worry about that...
[He lifts an index finger to tap his forehead knowingly, and the smile becomes a bit more proud in essence... Which really should be a warning sign on its own, because Ryunosuke rarely has good cause to look smug about anything outside of court.]
Truthfully, I haven't had a cold since I was five years old, and I'm not about to break that streak now!
[ Let's be honest: he rarely has good cause to be smug about anything in court, either, but she finds it rather adorable now that someone's life is not on the dock. A part of her is skeptical, actually, but rather than call him out and start that argument, she just drapes the shawl over him.
They won't share it, then. ]
Oh, do not be so stubborn. You are as bad as Kazuma-sama.
[ She tugs it over his shoulders and reaches up to try to pull it over his head like a hood. ]
If you are so healthy, you won't mind spending some time in the library today brushing up on your studies.

It is NEVER too late for the best girl/judicial assisant
He was doing some ghastly howling, which is why I came running in the first place.
Then when I asked him what was wrong, he just groaned something about this being 'the end of the world and all happiness as we know it'.
Haha, I don’t usually tfln but I’m making an exception ♥️
Perhaps I will stop at the market and get him one of those caramel chocolates he likes so much.
IT'S KIND OF A RARITY FOR ME TOO lol
I'm just wondering, if we really want to be rewarding him for this kind of poor behavior...?

Then what shall we do, simply wait for it to pass? I don't know how Iris does it.

What if you distract him with some other problem? A puzzle, or some brilliant riddle.
[ Hm, although that might not last him long enough. ]
Perhaps I can find a book of them in the gift shop.

[He takes it back. Point deducted :( ]
Do I really need to stay here while you do that? I'm pretty sure he's fine... Just. Melodramatic...

Is Iris there at least?

Wry smiles don't really come through text all that easily, but he's wearing one right now:]
Right... I'll be sure to pass on that message before I go. Assuming he doesn't follow me out the door again...

Where may I meet you? The park, like usual?
