Retreats

[awedprowess]

Kabaji, I am going out of the city for a ... duration. I am taking the parrot. It requires an internal reordering as much as myself.

[notseenorheard]

I pack you bag and food for Parrot.

...You not need me?

[awedprowess]

You may come if you wish, Kabaji, but it will not be a physically difficult trip and you have the animals to care for.

[notseenorheard]

Then you take Kite-kun? I make your favourites before you go.

[eishirou_k]

It does defeat the purpose if you go traipsing off without your bodyguard.

[notseenorheard]

^_^ You be best bodyguard, Kite-kun. I watch after Julia while you gone. I pack you snacks too!

[eishirou_k]

... I think Julia should come with me. She can... keep Parrot company.

[notseenorheard]

I think she like Parrot and I think Parrot like her!

[awedprowess]

If you wish it, fine. Why has this become difficult.

[eishirou_k]

The madam would be quite upset if something were to happen to her precious son.

[prettynotweak]

If you do not mind Kabaji, I need you for a few hours.

Will you help me bake a cupcake?

[awedprowess]

......

(ooc: words failed him XD)

[notseenorheard]

I think I have time while Atobe-sama gone.

Are you sad? You only make cupcake when sad.

[prettynotweak]

Perfect ♥

I just want to make some with you :)

[notseenorheard]

Usu. :D

[prettynotweak]

Can you come over today?

[notseenorheard]

You need me bring anything?

[prettynotweak]

Just you...and the things you use to make flowers to top the cupcakes.

[notseenorheard]

Usu!

[prettynotweak]

I want to try hyacinths this time :)

[notseenorheard]

That sounds pretty!

[prettynotweak]

I think so too :)

[seriousaura]

Business?

Screened

[awedprowess]

More of a ... time out.

(ooc: he's screening as much as possible from Yukimura XD)

Screened

[seriousaura]

I don't enjoy prying, but... are you well?

Screened

[awedprowess]

I ... don't entirely know.

I don't think we should adopt a child at the moment.

Screened

[seriousaura]

...You have me worried.

Aa.

Screened

[awedprowess]

I will be well probably.

Tezuka... you know I support your work. You do know I support you, ahn?

Screened

[seriousaura]

That does lead me to insinuate that you are not.

To be honest, sometimes I am not sure.

Screened

[awedprowess]

A rest will assist.

Then I should clarify. You have my support. Even though I appreciate you are entirely capable of managing without it. I will ensure I make this clearer in the future.

Screened

[seriousaura]

I admit that my curiosity is piqued at this entire thing. Are you sure you will be absolutely alright?

Screened

[awedprowess]

It occurred to me that I was not free from the vice of taking the things I have for granted.

I wish for that to change.

I have realised that while my business pursuits are important, they are not the most worthwhile aspect of my life.

Screened

[seriousaura]

I am at a loss as to how to properly respond to that. I hope you will pardon my lack of comment.

Screened

[awedprowess]

You would be amazed what I would pardon right now. Perhaps a child was a premature consideration. Have you considered the possibility of sharing accommodations?

Screened

[seriousaura]

I agree and I have not. Though, I would not be adverse to splitting time between both residences.

(ooc: he's a bit hesitant :/)

Screened

[awedprowess]

Perhaps it could be attempted for extended periods before any consideration of a purely single location is considered.

--
(ooc: .... it's a suggested compromise. Must be a first XD)

Screened

[seriousaura]

A few days a week at first would be most ideal. It's rather cumbersome to transfer my work.

(ooc: colour Tezuka slightly shocked)

Screened

[awedprowess]

That would please me.

Screened

[seriousaura]

Perhaps, after you return, we could figure something out.

Screened

[awedprowess]

That would be fine.

I shall not be long and ... I meant what I said in the text.

Screened

[seriousaura]

Aa.

You know, I rather thought that would be something you would say in person.

Screened

[awedprowess]

That is my failing. I do not believe I would be worth you stopping your work for at present. Please forgive me.

Screened

[seriousaura]

You know I would if it were important.

Screened

[awedprowess]

I do. And it is not.

Screened

[seriousaura]

I believe taking a retreat so hastily is cause enough.

Screened

[awedprowess]

It was not my intention to concern you.

I met with Yukimura. After which, the break could not wait.

Screened

[seriousaura]

You've been talking with him quite a bit recently. Are you two on better terms?

Screened

[awedprowess]

He attempted to suffocate me so I think one can safely say not.

Regardless of the unfortunate nature of our discussion, the interaction did make me realise my priorities could be improved.
