I have only been gone a few days. We are scheduled to be here the remainder of the week.

Screened
Is something wrong?

I am quite sure it has been substantially longer.

Screened
Surely it is acceptable to miss your partner?

It hasn't.

Screened
Aa. I'll bring you home a sarong.

Then your trip was arranged to be far too long. I am sure Arthur requires only moments to move through the eligible population of the island.

Screened
That will certainly reduce unnecessary pleasantries when we are reunited.

It's the right amount of time. I must insist you stop speaking ill of my staff.

Screened
I am getting the distinct impression that you are not pleased with my being abroad. Have I missed something?

I maintain he would view it as a compliment. Additionally, you have the most corrupt household in Tokyo.

Screened
Not at all. I am having the most delightful time here with the brides to be.

I sincerely doubt that.

Screened
Must you insist on being a complete prat when it involves Sanada and Yukimura?

The medic you reside with almost certainly does not. On days he is not being molested himself.

Screened
They are being utterly irresponsible.

Unfortunately, Oishi is terribly high strung. I think Arthur just tries to not get him to be so uptight. Granted it doesn't work very well, but the effort is there.

Screened
You see irresponsible. Why is it any of your concern that they plan to get married? Is it because Sanada isn't of the same class?

It has entirely the opposite effect and Arthur enjoys it immensely. If the boy dies, I will add his butler to my household.

Screened
They require a pre-nuptial agreement. You know this as well as I.

Why would Ohtori go to you? I'm sure Oishi's family would move him to another family member.

Screened
If they don't want to sign one, no one should force it. Obviously they are comfortable without it. Why should their love life be of any concern to you?

I doubt it. He is of limited use.

Screened
What has love got to do with getting married? It's a contractual agreement that basic statistics states will likely last no more than 7 years. Laying down the details now while discussion is amicable will take far less effort than doing so in the future.

Untrue.

Screened
For them, love has everything to do with getting married. I think there is a larger issue at hand here. What is going on, Atobe?

Perfectly accurate.

Screened
Paper is hardly required to prove just things. It is hardly friendship to let such ridiculous proceedings continue because those involved are not thinking with their heads.

I find him perfectly capable.

Screened
Since when are you and Yukimura friends?

You also didn't answer my question.

Marginal.

Screened
You did inform me that I should attempt to tolerate them.

I disagree.

In your opinion.

Screened
Tolerate, but not be incredibly rude at every turn.

You didn't.

When, why, where, and how they get married is really none of your concern. You aren't in their relationship. Yukimura is not marrying you and neither is Sanada, so whether or not they choose a prenuptial agreement or elope in Las Vegas is none of your business.

Naturally.

Screened
It is hardly rudeness to be opposed to letting acquaintances act rashly when the time required for reasonable planning is minimal.

Friendship is not about being a 'yes man', Tezuka. They are your friends. Make them behave rationally.

I am not being a 'yes man,' Atobe. However, I will not stand in the way of their happiness. I don't see them acting rashly.

Atobe, answer the question. What is the underlying issue?

The fact they are behaving so irresponsibly is the underlying issue. I fail to see why this is not obvious.

If that's the case, then why does it concern you so heavily when their relationship really doesn't pertain to you in any shape or form?

You insist we are friends with them. Therefore, it pertains to me.

I insist you tolerate my friendship with them. If it is your wish to cut ties, by all means so do, but don't interfere with mine.

That is quite beside the point. As their friend, you should intervene to prevent a ridiculous error.

That's just it. I don't find their engagement or the preparations thus far to be erroneous or ridiculous.

Why is it so hard for you to accept that they are getting married because they love each other?

When I buy a car, I still take out insurance against its failure. The larger the purchase, the more important the protection.

And while marriages tend to break down too in current society, it is not your place to suggest they do something which makes them uncomfortable.

I have already talked about a prenuptial with Yukimura, taking a rational approach even though I didn't agree with it. They know what they want. I don't intend to get involved unless asked.

They are fools. I am going abroad.

In your estimation, most people are.

Enjoy your trip.

Quite true.

My thanks.

Aa.

Bocchan is right you know. I can keep it up for far longer than that.
