Many Happy Returns Neji-Sama. My apologies for not knowing the date.

Thank you. I very much appreciate this. I do not mind that it is a day off. It is the principle of the thought that matters most.

Not a problem at all! I think I might have something that might make a suitable gift... Do you like sake?

I didn't really want any presents.

I just wanted someone to give a damn.

I got what I wanted. I am satisfied.

In that case...please consider it an apology for my brother being an idiot? I already hit him very hard.

I'm sure you know him... Blonde, beautiful, flirty, attitude the size of Canada with an ego to match and all the skill of annoying people of a knat.

Kei.

I know of him, yes.

Sadly, I must admit I am not particularly charmed by him in the slightest. We have personalities that naturally clash with one another. Not the happiest of situations when both individuals are in the same vicinity.

He is one of the reasons I have not been coming into work. Shisui is another. Complete disinterest and lack of passion a third.

I apologise. He doesn't mean any harm he just...he has a real problem with authority, and Hyuugas have a natural air of authority around them. It makes you good leaders, and people naturally trust you, but it stirs up people like Kei...

Shi-nii has been having such a hard time... I mean that. I know he shouldn't bring that to work (your Uncle/Father reminds me of the same thing on occasion) but more than getting fired he was so ashamed that he'd disappointed you.

Please, give him a chance to redeem himself?

And I have no time nor patience for people who want to play games with me. I understand that I am twenty-three and I do not act my age, but... this is who I am.

I will try to be more personable and interact with others, but I simply cannot compromise my sense of self for the sake of others' comfort.

I am thinking of quitting. Letting someone else guide our flock of bartenders. As I said, I have become dispassionate.

This was why I did not really want to take that week off for vacation. When I've nothing to do, I think. I contemplate. I come to conclusions and make judgements about things. And I have concluded that I am nothing but work personified. I am my jobs.

So. Shisui shall not have to worry about redeeming himself. I figure I will get a call any day now from Drake telling me that because I've neglected my duties, he is letting me go from my position. I think that would be easier than me going up to him. I don't want to see the look on his face or have to answer any questions. Especially ones that begin with 'Why?'...

I was under the impression you spent the week with someone...

No-one expects you to change Neji-sama. If people cannot accept you for who you are, that is their issue, not yours. I think things would run a lot less smoothly without you in charge of the brigade.

Look at your Uncle/Father! He might not be the most personal of people but he still has friends and people he considers dear to him, and he runs a billion dollar company!

Sometimes you need to be a little tough to bring out the best in people. Shi-nii understands that...he said he understood your firing of him. He just wants a chance to prove to you he's capable of more. Because he has a lot of respect for you and wants to make you proud.

I do not know how you found out I spent some time with someone but... it does not matter, really. I can't necessarily keep them by my side at all times. Hence the seclusion and the postulating and the reevaluating.

Yes well. The one thing Shisui can do now is to be assertive. That will make me proud. Oh, and it would be nice if he could remember to put the labels forward when returning bottles to the shelves. Neatness counts.

I don't know if this is true or not, but if he is returning to school, good grades. Those will help in the 'make Neji proud of me' department.
