Tai: sigh...honestly Luis. You are never going to make a good writer if you can't tell the difference between pissed off statements of fact and a whine. I. Don't. Whine. As for getting angry at you. Luis, darling...the last time I got genuinely angry with you it took you five years (your time) to send me a reply - you can see why I may chose too hold back. If I keep waiting that long to hear from you I'm going to be a saggy old man before we finish a conversation.
Tai: *a very teasing smile on his face* But you are right, I shouldn't have brought up my parental issues with you. I keep forgetting that I'm just a spring chicken of 19, while you are....well... I'm sure you're pushing middle age as hard as possible, but it will catch you one of these days.
Tai: Naoki....yes...Naoki is very honest. Very much like the Pink Princess in his own way...well, without the pink. Maybe it will surprise you, or maybe it will freak you out, but I am very much in love with Naoki...much the same way Cora is with that dolt V. But there you go again, Luis, implying that I not only lie, but that I had dishonest motives in writing to you.
Tai: I think you are the liar. I think you really are a masochist. I mean, why else are you trying so hard to push MY buttons and make me angry? I'm beginning to think you like getting other men pissed off at you...maybe that writer's block of yours is really some sort of subconscious need to get V's goat and have him give you stern nasty lectures...I bet you secretly live for the moments he corners you for a manuscript and you have to say no.
Tai: What's the matter Luis, sweetie? Is it that hard for you to believe that someone, somewhere, who never met you before might just want to see you succeed in your creative efforts? Don't belittle yourself so much - I swear most people think the world revolves around their backsides, you are like some kind of freak of nature: a humble soul.
Tai: I told you my motives and I did not lie. End of story. Or maybe beginning since you certainly are showing your fangs at last. Now just channel that energy - not at me, but into your creativity. It can be like a car, after all, just waiting for a spark to get the engine running. I've tried to give you a spark.
Tai: Now for god's sake stop being so stodgy. Honestly, that cute little plant kid writes you for help - and don't look at me I would have told them you aren't good with kids if they'd bothered to ask - and you give him a schoolmaster's lecture.
Tai: Which reminds me, sweetie - I got the message you sent me through Miori. Granted it took me a bit to decipher...you need to repeat those phrases and sound out the words if you want him to get it right...but it was very nice of you. Made me blush. Miori's mama thinks you like me....*coy smile* Well, I won't go that far, but I really wouldn't want to let you down.
Tai: I particularly like this one, Luis...Lachlan's mother gave it to her for Christmas, and it's so sheer you can see right through it.
Tai: But I won't stand up...mustn't give away all my secrets. *blows kiss*
Tai: Oh, and Luis? Anytime you want you just ask my last boyfriend...not only can I....take it like a man....I can dish it out like one too...even in a dress...
*blows another kiss*
Ja ne, Luis-chan
