[recollecters]

hey. looks like you're all busy right now and joanne is down with a cold, so this probably doesn't have to be fancy. r&d doesn't report anything major for the next month so don't be dumbasses and make a problem of your own. don't fuck with the liaison, we're not replacing him. looks like there's some weird fucking stone at city hall now. enjoy that, i guess. pretty sure zee warned you about the stones, but if you broke it, that sucks and we don't know how to fucking fix it yet so good job, idiot. you might need to be a little proactive. r&d probably has something in mind, but good fucking luck getting a straight answer out of any of them but the kid. maybe they'll at least tell zee what they need, though. or if you're chill with the loss, whatever. that's about it. wait, right. joanne wanted to thank two of you for letting her help with holiday shit last month. thanks for not being assholes. the kid likes having stuff to do, i guess. and that's really it. later.

If it was a trick, it was a very convincing and uncomfortable one.

[Because, seriously, that half hour or so without his eyesight was probably going to give him nightmares at some point. Suddenly losing your vision in the midst of all that danger was terrifying.]

But... I don't mind either. Not that I'm not capable of doing it on my own, but if we're both stuck with it...

Though

Your IOU from Christmas. Is it still good? We haven't had a lot of time since we got our tastebuds back to go anywhere, but... after all of this, I think it wouldn't be so bad.

[hairstroke]

I can imagine. Suddenly losing your eyesight like that is an unsettling feeling. I'm simply glad you didn't get permanent damage from that.

[ Seriously, poor Xiaolang. No one deserves to be stuck with sudden darkness like that out of no where. God, he wishes he could have gotten a hold of the traitor and make him pay for doing such a terrible thing to his baby cousin. ]

Oh, that IOU.

Yeah, of course. It's avaliable for you to use anytime you want. I think that's a good idea. We certainly deserve to treat ourselves after that ordeal. I'll take you wherever you want.

[Well, it was a bit of Xiaolang's own fault for dashing after the traitor, so in a sense, it was a lesson in recklessness, but... yeah. Still not fun.]

... I'm glad too. And

[He stops, and considers. Does he want to tell Leon something like this over text? Or should he wait until they're talking face-to-face? Granted, they may just be in separate rooms right now so WHO KNOWS

Okay, middle road-- gonna write it in Cantonese, so no one else (aside from Li-Na and Mio) can see him being embarrassing.]

Thank you. For looking out for me during that time. And I'm sorry for not... properly expressing my gratitude for that until now. I know both you and Mio got hurt a lot on my behalf.

[Because, yes, he knows about the partner connection they had (although not the full extent of it, you awful, awful sinners), and it was something that was gnawing at him since he heard about it.]

1/2

[ As Leon's reading this message, he's completely and totally stunned into silence.

Don't mind him.

He's just going to....

read this over and over again

While looking like this:

2/2

[hairstroke]

[ It takes him a few minutes to respond to the message because he's so overwhelmed with emotion that he can't even process it. Truth be told, he's tempted to find Xiaolang and give him a hug.

But that would be really embarrassing for the both of them.

So Leon forces himself to hold back that urge and is finally able to respond in Cantonese. ]

It's no big deal, I'm your guardian so it's only expected I would be on the look out. You're the only family I have here and there's no way I would let something happen to you.

[ Which is is roundabout way of saying I LOVE AND CARE ABOUT YOU XIAOLANG!! But he's too flustered to actually type it out loud. ]

Don't worry about me, I didn't get hurt that badly. Besides, you got hurt pretty badly too. I'm simply glad we both made it home safe.
