This is Isley.

Please leave a message, but only if you have something important to say.

[silverking]

Hm.

[It's like he is trying to get the last word in, Isley notices.]

I'm not the least bit worried, Byakuya. I have confidence in you.

[ voice ]

[sakurabito]

[Yes he is, stop stealing it from him.]

How reassuring.

[Not really.]

Until then, Isley.

[Disconnecting now. LAST WORD WON.]

[barebacking]

It has been a week.

[silverking]

So it has.

[barebacking]

I was a good boy the entire time.

[silverking]

[Isley heard differently, but then again, Yaha had only promised to keep away from him for a time, not from anyone else.]

If by good you mean you kept your word and your distance, then...I suppose you were good.

[barebacking]

Yes, indeed.

[silverking]

So, what do you intend to do now?

[barebacking]

Friendship and redemption, of course.

[silverking]

You intend to refrain from behaving in the ways that upset me before, then?

[Even if Yaha says yes, Isley won't believe it. But...he may be willing to see how things go.]

[barebacking]

Yes, of course.

[silverking]

[Expected.]

...Then, I suppose what you ask for isn't too much. Providing you keep to your word.

[barebacking]

I am a man of my word.

[silverking]

As am I.

[barebacking]

I am aware.

[silverking]

[Isley chuckles softly.]

So serious all of a sudden. Doesn't such a reunion call for celebration?

[barebacking]

I do not wish to offend.

[silverking]

Mm...you say that so convincingly.

[barebacking]

Because, I mean it.

[silverking]

Yes, so it seems.

Perhaps I should arrange to have a thank you gift sent to you. For...good behavior.

[barebacking]

A thank-you gift?

[silverking]

Yes. A journal, I was thinking. For you to keep track of your merits and misdemeanors.

[barebacking]

Oh.

[silverking]

You seem displeased. Do you not see the practicality in the idea?

[barebacking]

I do, but I couldn't keep it properly...
