A text a few hours later.

[not_actually_a_bad_guy]

Thank you very much. I forgot about gifts so yours will be a little late

[bakudan_bambino]

I’m not expecting anything in return, though!

[not_actually_a_bad_guy]

Not even a sparring session or two?

[bakudan_bambino]

Well... okay. I could do that

[not_actually_a_bad_guy]

Just name the time and place and I will be there

[bakudan_bambino]

Thanks, Rude.

You're a pretty reliable guy, you know that?

[not_actually_a_bad_guy]

You think so?

[bakudan_bambino]

I do! You wouldn't be with Dorian if you weren't and I trust him more than most!

Plus, you've always been really helpful to me right from the start. That's not a normal thing...

[not_actually_a_bad_guy]

You did look like you were about to die from heatstroke that time

[bakudan_bambino]

Ugh! Thanks for the reminder.

I was not quite myself, though

[not_actually_a_bad_guy]

No, you were not. What was the deal with the milk though?

[bakudan_bambino]

What's wrong with drinking milk?

[not_actually_a_bad_guy]

Nothing, but it had been a hot day and you looked like you had been outside for hours. I was worried the milk had curdled.

[bakudan_bambino]

I hadn’t been carrying it around that long! That’s why I was so upset over spilling it in the first place

[not_actually_a_bad_guy]

Fair enough but how was I supposed to know that?

[bakudan_bambino]

You could have asked!

Y’know, instead of knocking it out of my paws!

[not_actually_a_bad_guy]

Alright, that is fair.
