I've opened several new chains of businesses around the kingdom and outlying cities, corrected mountains of mistakes made by incompetents, and spent a very delightful month with various members of the royal family. And what do I find when I've returned home? A smug little swan in my bed, ordering everyone about

Welcome home, Keigo.

Let's get together soon so you can tell me all about your journeys and new businesses.

[myheartofice]

You're still interested? From what I've heard, you've kept busy while I was away.

[oh_yuushi]

Of course I am, you're my friend.

Don't act hurt, you knew about him before you went away. What else was I supposed to do without you to keep me company?

[myheartofice]

Wait for my return or come with me, of course.

[oh_yuushi]

You didn't invite me. You know I've always wanted to go travelling. You'll have to tell me all about your adventures.

And you know I'm not that patient.

[myheartofice]

Funny how the two people I would have expected to invite themselves along both claim they needed invitations now.

[oh_yuushi]

Two? Who else would you have taken?

And blame my parents for drilling too many manners into me. I may invite myself over for dinner, but inviting myself along for such a long trip would be too much.

Though I'm not polite enough not to ask if you brought me back any souveniers.

[myheartofice]

Rin has also complained that I left without him. As though I'm expected to read your minds when I have a crisis occurring I need to rectify, really...

But I wouldn't have minded at all if you'd wanted to tag along, Yuushi.

He who does not ask does not receive.

[oh_yuushi]

Rin? You went to the ball with him, right? You two have become quite close if you'd be happy having him with you for a month.

We can't be expected to read your mind either, Keigo. I assumed you'd be too busy with work to have time for a tag along. Perhaps if you go on a weekend trip I can accompany you.

Then you did bring me back something? Is it edible? Or can I display it on my desk?

[myheartofice]

Not that close. He'd likely insist on bringing that insufferable anima with him...

I could arrange that if you like.

Several somethings. You'll have to come here to see.

[oh_yuushi]

Ah, I see. Though if I was going away for a month, I imagine I'd miss my fox, too.

Don't go out of your way for it, you've only just returned. But keep me in mind the next time you have a small trip.

Sounds intriguing. I'm free tomorrow if you are.

[myheartofice]

You wouldn't miss him that much.

Perhaps something in a few months.

Completely free?

[oh_yuushi]

I've grown quite attached to him. I'd miss making sure he was suitably spoiled each day.

Sounds lovely.

I have a few things to attend to in the morning. But I can be there before lunch.

[myheartofice]

Ugh. The things you do for those creatures, Yuushi, really...

A few things? Like what?

[oh_yuushi]

But he makes such cute faces at me when I scratch his ears. How could I resist?

A few work reports for my father and I need to swing by the university. I'll head to your place from there if it's all right with you.

[myheartofice]

Mm. You are unable to resist things like that...

Aa. I'll be expecting you then.
