There's a bit of a backlog in the Tenth. If anyone's expecting anything from us, be patient. If it's urgent, just let me know

[storm_pulse]

Yes, sir.

I take it you're feeling better, then?

[fearnotdeceit]

Didn't I tell you not to say anything?

[storm_pulse]

You said not to say anything of how you got that way, sir. And I haven't.

[fearnotdeceit]

You think maybe you're saying a little too much now?

[storm_pulse]

I don't think it's as obvious as that, no.

[fearnotdeceit]

Shut it, Okada.

[storm_pulse]

Oh, come on, sir. I was being pretty vague. It's not that bad.

[fearnotdeceit]

Did you miss the part where I told you to shut up?

[storm_pulse]

Hm? Oh. Right, right. Shutting up now, sir!

[fearnotdeceit]

About damn time.

[temperateflower]

What did he do to himself?

since you so clearly know

[storm_pulse]

Uh . . . He kinda ordered me not to tell you. And he can see this, you know?

[temperateflower]

Well then.

[Private]

I have fixed that, so tell me exactly what happened.

[Private]

[storm_pulse]

Look, you can't go worrying over him about this when I tell you, okay? Because he'll know I did, and I'll get into a load of trouble.

I was dropping off some reports on Sunday afternoon, and he looked in a pretty bad way. Food poisoning, I guess. He told me in no uncertain terms not to tell you anything about it. So you can see how my ass is on the line here, right?

[Private]

[temperateflower]

Oh.

[Private]

[storm_pulse]

Ah man . . . I guess this is why he didn't want me to say anything. Look, he just didn't want to hurt your feelings, I guess. I mean, you know how much he cares about you, right?
