Looking very much like he just woke up, Tai is, in fact, sitting up in bed with Naoki snoring gently beside him.
Tai: Forgive me for messaging you this late, Princess, but it was the only time I could do it without Lachlan's knowledge. I know she deleted your last message before I could read it, and I know she sent you a response supposedly on my behalf. I also know that you have become very upset today as I saw Eden's message.
Tai: sigh...I think a lot of things were said in anger that neither of us really meant, and I think much of it arose from misunderstanding each others' meanings. But we are both human, Princess and this just proves it.
Tai: I am genuinely sorry if I said anything to hurt you - I promise it was not intentional. And please, don't feel as if you caused me any harm. I did not have to tell you of my past. The choice to do so was my own, therefore the responsibilty is my own for how it made me feel. In truth, I didn't really think it would still hurt so much, but I was wrong.
Tai: At the same time, though, I think it was a good thing to have had happen. Sometimes we bury a pain deep inside of ourselves and think that we have overcome it, when in reality all we have done is hide it for a time. Now that I have faced it again I know I can overcome it properly.
Tai: And then too, there was an unexpected benefit. You see, Naoki was so worried for me he finally managed to speak! It is a breakthrough we thought might never happen, and a gift I treasure more than anything. So you see, I am really grateful to you for today!
Tai: Don't take so much on yourself, little Princess. And, well, I know this may be one of those forbidden topics but...could it be PMS? 'Cause you kind of remind me of how Lachlan acts at that time of month - which is when me and Devon and even Renji all go into hiding for fear bodily harm if we even look at her. Um, please don't tell her I said that though.
Tai: Anyway, that's what I wanted to tell you. That I'm sorry about our argument today and anything I said that may have hurt you. And I forbid you to feel bad about me because Lachlan is enough of a pain in that way and she's just gonna smother me if this keeps up.
Take care, Princess, and don't stay away from your friends for too long.
