That's why the journal was such a good idea...

[barebacking]

But I don't like to keep track of my past.

[silverking]

So, a better gift would be a secretary?

[barebacking]

Secretary?

[silverking]

A glorified note-taker. A person who would keep track of things for you.

[...]

It wasn't a serious suggestion, Yaha.

[barebacking]

Oh good.

I would not be happy with someone noting down what I say.

It changes... too much.

[silverking]

Yes, I'm...quite aware of how unreliable you can be sometimes.

[barebacking]

I am happy you say it is only 'sometimes.'

[silverking]

Well, I know I can always count on you for one thing.

[barebacking]

Oh?

[silverking]

Being unreliable.

[barebacking]

Hmph.

[silverking]

Don't be upset with me. I'm merely teasing.

[No, he's not, but at least he sounds sincere.]

[barebacking]

Well, at least, we are friends, again.

[silverking]

...Mm.

[barebacking]

Mmn.

[silverking]

I would like it if it were to stay that way.

[barebacking]

I think it will.

[silverking]

Then I've no reason to doubt, hm?

[barebacking]

A new leaf and all that.

[silverking]

Let us both hope the leaf you've turned isn't as grave as the ones that we hang upon the Memorial Tree.

[barebacking]

Father's name is upon that tree... I decided to honor him more would embarrass his soul. He'd turn bright red... and he's seen enough red.

[silverking]

...I see.

[He thinks you miss the point, but whatever.]

[barebacking]

Father... I think he's proud of me, too!

[silverking]

Yaha.
