[ It's in the fading hours of the night that this particular text message graces the network. Well, if by "graces" it's meant that this text nearly a month in the making is suddenly, rapidly thrown together and retyped over the course of a few restless hours leading to this. ​]

Lightning-kun, you aren't allowed to weigh in.

[ And having lead with that -- ]

How do you define the term 'boyfriend'? How should it be defined?

There's been some confusion about it lately. I'm simply looking for clarification, that's all.

[ Emphasis on the "that's all," not that such things are necessarily perceived through text, and that suits one Setsura Light just fine. ]

i was only missing for a few weeks

Nippon can be a very dangerous place even for men with abs as impressive as yours. We have dealt with mass kidnappings before.

Who knows what trouble you might've gotten yourself into.

Furthermore, what sort of employer would I be if I didn't have the interests of my employees at heart?

i'm a little insulted you would think that i'd be offed so easily

i'll thank you for the compliment, though

do you want me to fill out a next of kin form or something? would that soothe your worries?

[chichichi]

Don't put words into my mouth.

I never said you'd be offed easily or that you'd go along quietly if someone tried to take you.

I want you to tell me if you're going to take some time off so I can properly keep the books, that's all.
