Private to Atobe

[seriousaura]

Firstly, how is your nose? It's been almost three weeks. I've noticed most of the bruising around your eyes is gone. You no longer look like a raccoon.

Secondly, the point of this. I am quite curious as to why you feel the need to poke your newly-aligned nose into everyone's business. Normally, such matters and people are beneath you.

Are you bored? Sexually frustrated?

Should I clear the afternoon for tea? My preparations can take a backseat if something is bothering you.

(ooc: Consider this Tezuka's roundabout way to say he's worried.)

May I remind you that some of those people you are provoking want to finish what I started?

Because you don't want to admit either one. This is me you're talking to. Either way, I'll figure out the truth.

I won't damage your face any further.

They will not succeed.

You poke your nose into my business, Tezuka? How delightfully hypocritical.

[seriousaura]

Are you sure of that?

We are still friends, correct? However, if you find it hypocritical, forgive me for intruding.

[awedprowess.livejournal.com]

Quite sure.

You will forgive me, Tezuka, I am sure, for being somewhat reserved. You were gratifyingly vocal on the subject of my recent injury after all.

I would, of course, enjoy your company over tea. I assure you though, I am quite well.

I was not shouting it out from the top of the mountain, Atobe. If I recall correctly, you were the one who could not keep his mouth shut.

Forgive me, but I do believe you are bluffing out of fear that one of the known hackers on campus will read our comments. I hope if you come to tea, you'll be a bit more forthcoming. I do hate when you treat me as though I'm an idiot.

How strange. As I recall the circumstances, I was berated for considering the matter sufficiently private not to mention it to a close friend.

If it is your wish to criticise my every action, then I find it unlikely I will be any more "forthcoming" in person. As to the latter, I quite feel the same.

[seriousaura]

I was referring to how you got the injury, not your subsequent banter with Oshitari.

I'm not trying to criticize. I'm simply trying to figure out what is going on with you. You never used to be this nosy. Forgive me, if I come across thinking you an idiot. That is not the case.

Ahn. I will see you at 4.
