"Be who you are, Yuki-san. There won't be any judgment from me. Now, tell me about your day. How did your friends handle the funds? And please, eat. You'll be drunk before I take you back home if you keep drinking sake on an empty stomach. Which, I'm sure you've ( + )

"𝙃𝙖𝙞." Akihira responded, nodding his head and lifted up his chopsticks once more. "You don't have to worry about anything, Yuki-san. Keep me posted of when you're available, and we can plan the date around then. I can assure you, I'm a patient man. As you can see."

( + ) once more. "Well, I'd say that decision is solely up to you, no? If you feel you need to do more, my secretary may have something for you. Though, she usually has those things handled. But, with school work and being an artist, you have enough on your plate as is. Adding on more, ( + )
