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...

[ 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. ]

[conceded]

A-ah, well, perhaps you shouldn't put too much stock in the ramblings of an old man.

[sponsorigami]

[ Emotions, you are confusing, inconvenient things at times. ]

Why am I even bothering thinking of this at all?

[conceded]

Perhaps because it is a change from the usual?

[ The usual doom and gloom, that is. ]

Kondou, are you trying to give Ivan not-love advice?

[sponsorigami]

[ Between the two, he'd rather deal with the unknown of emotions than people getting hurt and dying all the time. This is true. ]

But--but it's--! Should I really be trying to think about it or just accept that it happens and nothing more?

I think that may be a very real possibility

[conceded]

I believe that may be a call that only you can make. I don't think that there is anything wrong with either path.

Not sure if helping or making him more confused

[sponsorigami]

A-and... what other path do you think there is...?

probably both. it's Kondou

[conceded]

Could you not perhaps accept it and have it mean something...? Must it be accepted and moved on from?

That is true.

[sponsorigami]

But it's what it could mean that worries me the most.

[conceded]

Why does it worry you?

[sponsorigami]

Um...

[ Why does it worry him? Fear is a factor, but of what? ]

I'm... not sure. I'm not sure what this is.

[conceded]

There's no need to be in a hurry to define it. You needn't worry quite so much, I think.

[sponsorigami]

Maybe you're right... We've got enough to worry about.

[ Spoilers: Ivan's still going to slightly concerned about it. ]
