9. December 23rd, afternoon, video
[Gai looks a bit bruised but those are the only visible marks. Clearly there's a bonus to wearing long sleeves and pants all the time. As always he's cheerful, but there's just the hint of tiredness this time.]
I am back and it is good to be back! I have missed the network and many of you! It was strange to not be talking to too many!
Because I was gone for so long I have not yet had time to shop for some of you. I am sorry. But do not worry! I shall find something! But if people would like to let me know what they would want that could make things easier on me!
[Private to Karkat]
Are you all right? I know that you were injured, and that this could not have been easy for you.
[Private to Neji, Tenten, Lee, Gaara, Lain, Kakashi, Hanabi]
I would like to see you all for dinner on the first, if that is all right, please!
[Private to Roy]
I forgot to ask for this earlier, I am sorry. May I have the evening of the first off? There is something I would like to do with my students and my Rival, please. It would also take my students and their partners, and my partner. But do not worry! I will work extra shifts through the next few weeks! I would not leave you shorthanded for an evening without being determined to do more!
[Private to Crona]
You made it back safely from Linz, correct? ...You may simply nod. You do not have to say something if you do not want to.
[Private to Rokudo]
You are back as well I hope! We should talk more! And work on friendship!
[Private to Saralegui]
I hope you are on the road to recovery. I will drop by if you are able to have company!
[Private to Sasuke]
[He pauses here in thought.] May I help you with anything? I will be dropping by to see you one way or another. I do not mean to be too... I do mean to be pushy. But I would like to find a way to help.
