Dear Seiichi, I simply must insist you join us for dinner. We will be enjoying turkey stuffed with duck stuffed with quail in a red wine sauce. It is succulent enough to make biting through to the interior animal a delightful experience.

If you cannot abide trying the meat yourself, there will also be pumpkin stuffed with artichoke hearts with cranberries in the very centre. A colourful experience to cut into, although you should use a napkin, least the red sauce spill over your hands.

Kabaji, I wish to host a yuletide celebration next month. I am inclined to suggest you do not work during the event and we hire outside assistance for the kitchens, but if you would prefer to organise the preparations yourself, then I will not stand in your way.

Tezuka, is it your intention to join me at such an event, or will you hide behind a curtain with a book?

I am not going to tell you what you should or shouldn't do. This is your celebration.

Tezuka, we are partners. The distinction between what is mine and yours is blurred.

[seriousaura]

Not necessarily in all things. Some of my friends make you uncomfortable. It is wrong of me to insist you spend time with them.

[awedprowess]

"Uncomfortable" is entirely the wrong phrase. They frequently threaten my life.

[seriousaura]

Which is why I'm suggesting that you make a list.
