Open (Introductions Time)
Who: Conan, Ran, close CR, anyone
What: Conan's life just got more complicated again. And he has someone he needs to introduce.
Where: Throughout the Train
When: Fiddlesticks Days 13-14-15
The mission had worked as a distraction, but after finally returning to the train Conan had realized that he had some decisions to make. Ran was here, and only knew him as Conan. There were others here... People who had supported him as Conan, and had seen him change to Shinichi or had learned his secret in other ways. But none of them knew the full story, or why he had kept his secrets from Ran all this time.
Apart from all of this, he needed to introduce Ran to the people on the train he knew could be trusted. He needed to warn the people in the know that they needed to keep the secret. (He wanted to tell Ran the truth, more than anything. But not now. Not like this. Not until he could tell her the truth while wearing his own face and name.)
And so, the day after returning from the mission, Conan made his plans. He sought out Ran, keeping close beside her. And over the next few days he introduces her to the people he knew on the train. He tries to strike a balance between the childish behavior Ran had come to expect from him, and the more adult-like attitude he had adopted on the train. (He is not always successful.) And to those who know the secret, he carefully phrases his words to warn them not to say anything to Ran.

He has to hold back a laugh. She is isn't she? Goodness, that's rather perverse, the two of them being together like this.
"It's a pleasure to meet, you, Miss Ran. My name is Joss Fitzthomas. Conan-chan and I have become very good friends these past months."
no subject
The -chan definitely seems to be a clue, though.
"It's nice to meet you." There's no reason to take sides in this, especially when she doesn't have a clear sense of what's going on, and the words are genuine, her smile warm. "Conan-kun stays with Dad and me at home while his family is away; he's been with us for a while now. I'm glad he's making some friends -- it's hard to be away from home, ne? Have you been here long?"
Added, glancing towards his homework: "What were you working on?"
Yes, Joss, it is a bit perverse . . . both in universe-has-its-own-humor ways and in other unintentioned ways that neither Shinichi nor Ran will want to talk about later.
I'm so sorry this took so long!
"We've known each other for a while, and they're aren't that many kids on the train.
