22 - February

[oh_yuushi]

It seems that I've horribly neglected the quills lately. The kids were a bit more energetic than I predicted and I'm rather convinced my sister and her husband were pretending to be sick those last few days to enjoy an extended vacation

Bring the bitties back anytime~! Tiny Oshitaris are fun~! An' kinda remind me of Shouta when he was lil'~

An' I'm up for startin' new traditions for this month, but dunno how many others are up for changin' things. Hell, I give things to folks all months of the year anyway. ...But...lately...

Ain't ever read those books, though I keep hearin' folks talk 'bout 'em. But then, readin' without the help of the quill is still hard sometimes. Dunno if I'd like those types anyway, though.

[oh_yuushi]

Honestly, now that I've slept, I miss them already. Hopefully they'll be able to visit again in the summer.

Well as there's currently no traditions, I don't think adding a few would hurt anything. And while I agree that we don't need a special reason to treat those we love about, you must admit that during this cold snap of February motivations to do more than huddle at the fire decline. At least for me.

Perhaps you should practice your reading skills. There's lot to discover and enjoy inside of Books Kin-kun, even if you prefer something other than romance.

[redheadleopard]

I'll start lookin' forward to it then~

Mmm...I dunno 'bout that. Old man Dai-chan is makin' me think there's some traditions out there. Maybe they're old though~? Like him~? So maybe some new stuff to counter whatever he's thinkin' oughta be good~ Stuff to warm up those unmotivated hearts when it's too cold to do anything~?

Hey, I didn't know much 'bout readin' 'cept my name 'til I lived with the Shiraishis. Gimme a break, man. It's not even been a year. As it is, Kuranosuke ain't an easy coach, an' I've learned 'nuff to get me by 'round this city.

[oh_yuushi]

Excellent, a babysitter already.

Old man Dai? Is that what you call Sakaki? Does he now? Can I tell him if he doesn't?

I'm afraid I don't know any old traditions so I suppose it's time to make some fun new ones. I already have the next few days planned out.

Then you're making good progress but it's not time to get lazy about it. If you'd like some extra practice I'm always happy to help. I'm sure I can even find a few books that might motivate you to practice.

I'm not a fan of the month...and you don't need a holiday to show love and given tokens of affection. It seems forcd and expected on the 14th and defeats the purpose. But my opinion on that day is biased.

Screened for Oshitari
I have been reading the book when the ladies put it down for the night...I'm still unsure how I feel about it.

[oh_yuushi]

Why not? It's cold but thankfully a short month. And like I told Kintarou, I don't need a special reason either. But to help brighten the cold days and motivate me away from the fire, I think it would be a pleasant tradition to start.

Oh? And what are your thoughts on the novels?

[normal_guy_chou]

My birthday.

Screened

Which one?

[oh_yuushi]

A birthday is a time for celebration. It should make you love the month more.

Screened

Any. I enjoy talking about romance novels.

[k_tez]

Screened

I have not. I do know your intentions, but I'm afraid I am the sort that likes to hear comments on the book before I read it. I do not give it to them, nor am I really going to fight to read it first.

So you likek to be spoiled before you read for yourself? Such a naughty boy, Kunimitsu.

Perhaps I should start bringing multiple copies...

[k_tez]

Not spoiled. I don't want to know all the details, or even a summary. I want opinions on the content. Was it thrilling? Did it bring tears to their eyes? Is it something they'd read again?

I suspect that unless you brought four, I would still not be the first to read. Mother, Grandmother, and Ohtori-kun all seem quite fond of them.

[oh_yuushi]

I've heard people haven't been able to put it down but not all are satisfied with the ending. The story itself is complete but it's also to be continued. Was the only way I could convince the publishers to go for it.

Four? I'm glad so many in your home seem to enjoy them. But the one I care about the most always seems to be the slowest. ♥

[sakakitarou]

Oshitari, as always you are madder than a barking fish.

[oh_yuushi]

I'm afraid I don't follow your logic.

[normal_guy_chou]

A fish barking is completely illogical or mad...so he is saying you are madder than mad. ^_^

[oh_yuushi]

Thank you, Ohtori. But while I understand that, I don't get his logic in saying I am mad.

[risingcode]

who gives a shit about romance?

oh well. guess you and Master do

[oh_yuushi]

Your master and I do. But that's just a start, kitten. Many people care about romance and love. Perhaps in time, you will, too.

[risingcode]

doubt it
