[Maes is doing what now?]

SENT: 8:31 AM
So he took it out of my hands, huh? I'm going to have to have Words with him on that. :p

Take care of yourself. Stay in touch?

[ktotheatothez]

SENT: 8:33 AM
It was... Unexpected. Should I be worried?

[icarusalsoflew]

SENT: 8:35 AM
No. You can trust him. :)

[As things stand, you're kind of Hikaru's surrogate little brother. Maes knows better than to get you killed, at any rate...]

[ktotheatothez]

SENT: 8:40 AM
Okay. I know we were supposed to deal with this with the Hounds, but... I don't think it'll do us any good for me to keep putting it off.

[icarusalsoflew]

TO: 8:43 AM
Nope. It'll make you less squishy at the end of it too. Less for Yulia to worry about, right? :D

[Because she worries excessively over you.]

[ktotheatothez]

SENT: 8:47 AM
Less for you to worry about too. I'm going to be around for a long while, so I guess we can't have me nearly-dying each time I go out on the field. It wouldn't do for someone who's training under Jessiah Vice, right?

[icarusalsoflew]

SENT: 8:49 AM
Not at all. Can't have anybody ruining his stellar reputation. :)

[Jessie won't ever shut up about it if that happens too, so...]

[ktotheatothez]

SENT: 9:00 AM
'Course. I want him to not regret taking me on as a student.

[icarusalsoflew]

SENT: 9:02 AM
I'd like to believe that he'll never have to.

[This one believes in you, so.]

[ktotheatothez]

SENT: 9:05 AM
You really know how to make a guy feel better. Love you.

[ He may not text for a while, because you believing in him is a lot to process. ]

For Brigade

[ktotheatothez]

For Taning

For Nico

[riskythunder]

[...Huh. And just when he managed to land in the same country as you. :(]

SENT: 8:38 AM
Sounds pretty serious. Do you think you'll be able to keep in touch?

[ktotheatothez]

SENT: 8:42 AM
It is, sorta, but no more serious than my Walk. Only this time, I think we'll be investigating a whole lot. :*

And yes, I'll text you all the time. You know I will. :*

[ There's some guilt there, he does wonder if he could ask Maes to take you along too, but at the same time, he knows he can't. The Vucari needs to settle in, get a feel of the Metro. ]

[riskythunder]

SENT: 9:00 AM
Okay, good. That's a lot better than anything I could have ever hoped for, honestly.

When you get back, let's make good on our word and visit my parents? And I do want to speak to yours. :)

[ktotheatothez]

SENT: 9:05 AM

Yeah, we should. Big family dinners I guess? Anyway, I'm just gonna send off a thousand other texts and pack and shower. Love you.

[riskythunder]

SENT: 9:06 AM
Love you too. Make it rain!

[ktotheatothez]

SENT: 9:10 AM
:* Oh hey, could you swing by the Tower for Mitsuru every once in a while? Dunno if Aniki and Josh'll be there today.

[riskythunder]

TO: 9:13 AM
Will do! I'll check in with my division about it as well... might be good if I handle Cat Duty for the Wolf, given the way things are now. :))

[Yes, they have a delegation for that now.]

[ktotheatothez]

[ Have a photo of your fiance's confused face, followed by text ]

SENT: 9:17 AM
"Cat Duty for the Wolf" almost sounds like the Zashiki-Warashi have a team specific to that. Please tell me you don't actually know how many pets Hikaru has...

[riskythunder]

SENT: 9:18 AM
Haha, it's basic novice duty! Our leader's not the only one who has pets that need watching over when shit goes down. :))

[ktotheatothez]

SENT: 9:20 AM
But still... Seeing as you're Zashiki-Warashi, any chance you can take point? I can't generate any new access codes for the Tower right now. I'll let you take care of it for the kids on the Cat Squad. >:3

[You can tell when he uses that emoticon that he's already fond of the idea that Zangyaku is pretty cool when it comes to pets.]
