[Keito is busy. He knows he must be. This whole... jellyfish thing was big and dangerous and Eichi didn't even try to help out, this time, but Keito was too kind. He wanted to help, right? He couldn't blame him. But it gets lonely here.
And Eichi can only hold off for a day or so before he gets worried enough from no contact from Keito to want to message him himself. So, first he sends a picture. It's a simple picture of the table in their apartment with a nice tea set that Eichi's recently bought, a cup served for himself. Then, either Keito hasn't replied or Eichi feels like he hasn't replied soon enough, and he sends an actual message.]
This chai is a "pumpkin spice" flavor that seems incredibly popular.
I'd rather not have to worry about jellyfish slipping in once I'm back.
I doubt there's any souvenirs worth bringing back.
[ He's pretty sure that's not the unspoken thing that Eichi's asking for, but bringing it up feels pertinent before Eichi has a chance to drag them on a tangent. ]

It's a little dull to drink it alone, though.

I've heard of that. It seems like it's popular in America, though I haven't seen it much in Japan.
[ And since Keito both wants to both encourage Eichi's safer hobbies and, more importantly, is eager to be done with these jellyfish, he adds: ]
We can go get some together once I'm back.

/slides in literally more than a month later
It's hard to say. It seems like for every problem we solve, too more pop up.
Well, I suppose I'm not unused to that, but it does still make estimates difficult.
now it's going to be christmas soon
I suppose that's not surprising.
[Short... and clearly wanting something here without communicating what. As usual.]

[Eichi.]
There are some jellyfish here, you know. They've been slipping in through pesky areas, like the drains and vents... Beyond that, they seem to like me?
I bet they're all afraid of you, though.
no subject
You're under Iris, aren't you? Maybe they sense a kindred spirit.
[ That's not meant to be as insulting as it might sound, but Keito doesn't try to take it back. ]
I've only encountered a few of them. I don't leave the transports very often.
no subject
[Not that his comment about them being afraid was any nicer... A few moments later, though:]
If you take too long, I'm going to invite all kinds of people over to take your place.
[He's trying to say he misses him, is it working]
no subject
Choose carefully. You'll only damage your relationship with them when I get back and kick them out again.
no subject
You'll kick them out? Will you lecture them until they leave? I can't picture anything cool at all.
Especially when that date is unknown...
[hurry and come back]
no subject
But I'll lecture them in the meantime.
In any case, it's not like they'll be able to settle in for long before being removed again.
[ He'll be back soon, geez. ]
no subject
[He leaves him alone for a few hours at that. But then he can't deal with the loneliness again...]
There are more and more jellyfish here too, you know. I wonder if the people sent with you to help are helping enough.
