Five times. Five that I've broken my promise and lost him. We never speak of it. There are too many literal monsters pounding at the door. Our conversations may skirt the edge of the topic, but it's our Medusa. Don't look at it directly. In our home, if you can help it, don't look in the mirror at all ( Read more... )

Then talk to him, Niko. He's your brother, he worries about you as much as you worry about him.

I'm to explain to him now when I couldn't before?

You can explain or you let the City force it. It seems today no one has much of a choice.

He'll hardly thank me if I send someone to distract him.

Planning on hiding in your office all day, then?

Only as a temporary measure. He'd shoot the lock out if I did, and that would be ... annoying.

Not to mention concerning to the rest of your staff.

...you could always spend the evening with me if you're concerned about spending time with him.

I didn't want to burden you with this again.

Niko, you are many things to me, none of which are a burden.

Are you working tonight?

I was going to work on some paperwork, but it's nothing I can't put off.

[private] cal_sitter September 18 2009, 03:28:58 UTC
Don't. Not on my account.

Niko. Despite the fact that I'm more than happy to put my work, and a great many other things, aside for you, I'm even more happy to put it aside for me.

I would like to spend the evening, the night, and if entirely possible the next morning with you.

...but if you'd rather spend the evening balancing ledgers....

Are you implying that I'm cheating on you with my paperwork? I promise you that the ledgers mean nothing to me but a stable source of income.
