Still no word...and still nothing has changed. I think I might have to start planning something on my own.

But...then I might have to leave. And I have my family...and friends here.

I wish I could run this by someone, but my parents and the family would tell me I am being stupid and I should be patient.

Not that I could tell my parents anyway.  I

They do. They can also do far worse than just taking his stuff, and if what he told me is true and that we really do have that much in common, then he will no doubt make his share of enemies there by not behaving himself. Not that I can fault him at all for that, because they really are a bunch of assholes there and most of them have no remorse for our kind. He sounds like he's tough enough to handle whatever they throw at him, though.
...That said, *you* are a different story. I know I bitched at you before when we first met to be careful where you wander down there and I'll say it again. You might have good intentions and are trying to help, but I don't care who your master is, in a place like that, who you're connected to isn't always going to keep you out of harm's way. So...if only for your lover's peace of mind, watch your step if you do try anything again. Guards, keepers, and other fighters alike all have the capability of being a danger to you.
But perhaps visiting him at a fight would be the best and safest option...at least on your side of things. Which I'm sure is what he would prefer among your choices. Plus after matches, fighters are typically given a little time to themselves to come back down from the adrenaline high they just experienced. You'd actually have a better chance of getting to sneak in and speak to him then if you're set on trying to do so. And as long as you don't get any stupid ideas, I won't have to act so much like a scary tiger and calling you a stupid dog. ...Or well, I'll act *less* like a scary tiger, at least, as I've found it's hard to completely stop being what people will naturally fear.

Then put faith in your mate and curse everyone else who stands in his way. It might not seem like much, but it can go a long way...and it might just make you feel a bit better in the process.

He's really tough and strong...I'm sure he'll manage...but I don't want him hurt and with them all being dangerous in there...and he won't listen to me about playing ball and behaving. Sometimes it sucks, but it is safer.

My master is one of the higher up royal guards, but I know you are right...if I get into too much trouble, he might not be able to help me.

I can try taking your advise, Tiger-san...thank you.

Just try to keep in mind that even if he's in there with a lot of really fucking dangerous douchebags, he'll be able to hold his own because more than likely he's also something of a fucking dangerous douchebag in his own way. And sometimes...that fact works to your advantage even if it means possibly making even more enemies along the way. Other fighters will be less likely to mess with him when not in the pit, at least. Because if it's one thing that's for certain, you don't want to mess with the jackass who's too stubborn to listen to his keepers even after they try to beat him into submission.

A rule of thumb for you when dealing with the arena and the underground from now on...what is lawful is constantly shoved aside and the people who make the real rules there are some of the most corrupt human beings I've ever seen...even if they may smile politely at you and seem like the epitome of a good-intentioned gentleman on the outside. So I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, but trust no one you see there. They are liars by nature.

.....Hiroshi. You can call me Hiroshi. ...And any little bit helps in a situation like this, I imagine...

..I guess. But I don't want him beat...and he is not made for being in a cage. None of us are.

I'll remember it.

Choutarou.
