Crap, I almost forgot again. We still on for dinner? How's Itegumo?
[Private to Rangiku-san via Hellmoth]
I should be free this weekend. Come on, let's go have a drink for old times' sake. I'll buy without complaint this time, scout's honor.

[*clears throat awkwardly*] Ah...hey, senpai, I just wanted to let you know... Well, Rangiku-san an' me were gonna go have drinks on Saturday--sorta for my birthday and sorta 'cuz I know she's had a rough week and...well, this is what we do when one of us has had a rough week. S'kinda tradition. But ah...well, I know things are a little different now. It didn't matter so much before that I was a guy and she was a very pretty lady and we were going drinking together, but now she's a very pretty lady who's kinda goin' steady with some other guy who happens to be an old friend of this guy and...
...I think I've lost myself in my own vagueness. Anyway. I just didn't want you to hear somethin' or see somethin' and get the wrong idea. I ain't movin' in on your territory or nothin'--wouldn't dream of it. S'just drinks with an old friend. And if that ain't cool, I can...figure somethin' out to where it is cool.
I'm nattering. Uh...lemme know?
