[his good qualities go far beyond his wallet. she doesn't need to say it (wouldn't say it anyway); she's confident katsura already knows, the same as she does.]
His wife is a big spender. I've noticed. But those profits belong to the Kaientai now; we're establishing a local branch. I hope you'll consider us if there's anything you need, Katsura-san.
[ naturally. it's sort of a Thing that the three of them never say anything nice about each other, but it's just a testament to the bromance!! or something. ]
Yes, although it is not entirely what I had in mind, Mutsu-dono. That man is a beast of destruction wearing a human skin, and even I can not predict his moves.
[ and Tatsuma just keeps laughing in his face when he tries to talk about it, even if it's taking a visible toll on him and the laugh doesn't reach his eyes anymore. you're closer to him now than this old has-been, so watch over him, please ]
[that, she wasn't aware of. that, sakamoto had never told her. a terrorist, yes, she knew that much about takasugi; she also knows that katsura has earned the same title. a beast in human skin, though...]
And I'll make sure his fool head stays above water.
[ ah, yes. they started out so similarly, too, but it was never the same, even then. when all is said and done, one terrorist may be vastly different from another... ]
[ ...and then there's Takasugi. ]
[ it's not that Katsura expects him to cut his spouse in his sleep, especially in this place, but he's never expected to be a target back home, either. that's the scary part; not being able to expect -- whatever it may be, even when it's nothing at all. the great unknown. it's what keeps him on his toes regarding this particular old comrade. ]

Date: 2013-11-15 11:24 am (UTC)He's late for work.
[by about four hours now, and that does not bode well for the continued safety of his family jewels.]

Date: 2013-11-15 07:54 pm (UTC)I'm afraid I have not heard from him. Perhaps he overslept, or ran into a really desperate lady with very low standards.
no subject
Date: 2013-11-16 06:53 am (UTC)If he contacts you, tell him I need to speak with him as soon as possible.
[that in itself should be enough to terrify sakamoto into action, right?]

[ but this, this is reassuring. ]
I have no doubt in your competence, Mutsu-dono.
[ Thank you. ]
