Summary; Clow bounces some ideas off of Yuuko.
Log;
Clow abandoned his pipe, device, and all but one book on the desk in his room, having foregone research thought in favor of finding someone to talk to about it - namely Yuuko. She was somewhere in the house, he was sure, but rather than looking all around for her he decided to do this the easy way and head for the kitchen. Propping the book he had brought on the counter, he retrieved a bowl, strawberries, chocolate, flour, and various other odds and ends before setting to work.

"I hope that's for me~!" she declared, stretching from her nap before sitting down at the kitchen table and resting her head in her hands.

"Well, I'm making enough for everyone, but it'd be lying to say that I didn't have you in mind," he replied, turning towards her with the mixing bowl in one hand and a whisk in the other. "It's food for thought~."
no subject
She eyed the whisk and wondered about her chances of stealing a taste. Probably high. ♥

Turning some of his attention to the task at hand, he whisked the thick, chocolatey liquid in the bowl around a few times. "Xiao Lang seems to have reason to believe that he comes from a separate world than Sakura and I do."
no subject
She thought about it. Admittedly, she'd never met the Sakura and Syaoran from their world, only their counterparts from Clow Country. She wouldn't have noticed a change because the only information she had about them was secondhand from Clow, and then what she'd seen in the City. But Sakura and Syaoran had recognized each other upon arrival, and there had been no immediate confusion, like she was sure had cropped up when the young ones had met their older counterparts. Worlds were generally different enough that alternate selves noticed the discrepancies right away.
"Why does he believe that?"
...If that were true, if there were two Cardcaptor Sakuras, then it would have to follow that there were two Clows. And likely, two of herself. Which would immediately complicate that other matter. She absently reached for a pipe she'd left in the other room, compromising in the end for a spoon left on the table. She turned it over in her hands as she waited for his answer.
no subject
Not to mention, of course, the idea of two of him and two of her... and potentially two of him. It still seemed unlikely to him that there were, in fact, two universes, but as he could not yet come up with a more plausible explanation he was stuck with the undesirable possibility that he may have seriously messed up in his planning at some point to not have accounted for this.
"There are a few other little differences, too," he remarked, gesturing with the whisk, "but from what I could gather, even considered as a group they're too minor to account for this phenomenon."
no subject
She leaned over and caught the whisk with her spoon, scraping off a bit of his handiwork and popping it in her mouth. She savored as she continued thinking.
"You know," she said finally, almost hesitant, "if there are two universes, we didn't account for that."
no subject
He smiled slightly again at seeing her enjoy the chocolate. Clearly it was coming out well, and that was all he needed to know before pouring it into a baking pan.
"I've been wondering about the second option you mentioned, though. Anything large enough to account for a temporal split should be fairly obvious and yet the differences he has mentioned seem too great for it to simply be faulty memory." Yet, if it was only a temporary anomaly, something still would have to have caused it that would have kept it running for several centuries, and who or what could possibly do that? He shook his head, realizing that he was getting ahead of himself a bit, and continued pouring.
no subject
She looked down at her spoon, annoyed to be reminded of the man who had needlessly overcomplicated her un-life. She pushed that aside and focused on the second half of his words, turning to watch him pour with interest.
"Perhaps it's something that hasn't happened yet for Xiao Lang," she said after a moment. Goodness knew she was familiar with time-space problems, twists, and turns. "It would have to be pretty big to reverberate back down the timeline like that, though."
Something big. Something like... breaking the rules of a universe even when you're told not to. She kept that thought to herself, though. She had no proof, after all. She couldn't even call it a hunch-- just a possibility.
no subject
"If it's something that's going to happen in his future, we might be able to find out," he said after a while. Then, too, he could find out whether or not this would affect their plans vis-a-vis Fei Wang.
Divination could be almost addictive sometimes.
no subject
"Divination doesn't work very well here," Yuuko said. She remembered the last time she'd tried, the water bowl at full moon. But she'd tried that alone, and in her own pool of water.
"It's worth a try, though," she continued. Divining into a close but alternate world's future-- it was something she'd never tried... but she doubted that Clow had either.

He'd admit that he was asking mostly because he liked working with her, rather than for any practical reason.
no subject
They always enjoyed working together, even though their magic and their approaches were very different. It was a combination of their widely differing skills that made projects like the Mokona possible. She'd agree to it in the end.
