Time flies when you're busy with work

Mun! H-How could you forget what day it is? It's the Day of the Ninja!

[ And also the day the mun headcanoned for his birthday because it is said day. ]

... I guess saying the day snuck up on you is okay. That's very ninja like.


A-and... what has my life become in RP lately? I-I mean it's...

[sponsorigami]

... In every way? I'm not even sure how to describe it.

[conceded]

I see... I suppose I can relate to that. But if you ever need someone to talk to, I am happy to help.

[sponsorigami]

Kondou, I accidentally made Mr. Nagakura sad because I couldn't remember all the names of the Shinsengumi and only sort of recognized his.

[conceded]

Nagakura... He isn't giving you a hard time over it, is he?

[sponsorigami]

He got really sad... and I felt really bad about it even after he seemed to cheer up.

[conceded]

He's only teasing you, I assure you. Please don't take it too badly.

[sponsorigami]

But what if I forget another Shinsengumi's name if they arrive? I don't want to insult them!

[ Talking about the Shinsengumi confusion is much better than trying to figure out feels and embarrassment. ]

[conceded]

Ah, well... If it concerns you so, I could always give you some descriptions to go off?

[sponsorigami]

Or at least refresh me on their names. I have enough to worry about without making more bad first impressions with all of you.

[ At least he didn't flail as badly as he did when Kondou invited him and Japan to tea. ]

[conceded]

I'm sure that you could never make a terrible impression, Ivan. The Shinsengumi are fairly laid-back.

[ Kind of. Some of them. ]

[sponsorigami]

Umm... that's a relief...

[ Ivan is not too sure about never making a terrible impression, but he'll concede the point to Kondou. Well, one item sort of figured out... ]

[conceded]

So, was there anything else that you needed assistance with?

[ He hasn't forgotten! ]

[sponsorigami]

[ Damn it! He remembers! And despite his words, the blush on his face tells a different story. ]

Um... no...

[conceded]

Are you certain, Ivan?

[ He's not quiiite sure, but he thinks that there may well be something else there... ]

[sponsorigami]

.......... No... but it's embarrassing and confusing...

[conceded]

I may not be an expert, exactly, but I am more than happy to assist where I can!

[sponsorigami]

. . . . . . .

I keep getting carried and ending up sleeping in bed with someone...

[ Not to mention meme things....... ]

[conceded]

And do both of those things bother you?

[sponsorigami]

W-well... maybe? I mean, I don't know. It's all really new to me.

[conceded]

New does not necessarily have to mean bad. If you're happy, then that's the most important part.

[sponsorigami]

I... think I am, but I hope he is too. More than how I feel.

[ He'll consider himself second in importance. ]

[conceded]

[ Like father, like son... ]

I'm sure that he wouldn't say his happiness was more important than yours. He'd want you to be content too.

[sponsorigami]

B-but it's more about survival... I think.

[ There is probably some invisible line they have crossed but when and what, Ivan doesn't have a clue. ]

[conceded]

It sounds more as though you're trying to convince yourself of that, than actually believing it already.

[sponsorigami]

... Do... I really?

[ But Kondou speaks the truth. ]
