If you happen to be allergic to silver, I'm happy to exchange it for one made with a different metal. I just thought that it looked best on you.
[It's a gift meant to be sincere, after all, so he does hope Hugo isn't negatively affected by silver.
Harumasa listens as the other man speaks. They're good points to make, and he's glad to have some honesty that's a little more straightforward between them. He's noticed that Hugo likes to keep his cards close to his chest like Harumasa does. It's only the methods that differentiate them.]
Personally, I'm all for that. They united us back then as a common thread and, while that's still the same, our situations are now different.
[He looks out at the view for a moment in thought before turning his attention back to Hugo.]
HSO doesn't exist here and I'm not part of any kind of law enforcement anyway. I'm happy to get to know Hugo as you are now, just as I'm happy to let you get to know me as just Harumasa. Or Asaba, if you'd rather keep to using my surname instead.
[He grins, then.]
But I've got a little brother who loves stories about phantom thieves, so I hope you don't mind if I tell him about some of your more exciting stories from back then~.
You will be happy to know I'm not. I like it just the way it is.
[ Hugo shook his head, pulling his other hand in top of the box. He was not sure if Lycaon had a silver allergy. That would be something to check on later. Then again, it would be truly odd if he was.
He went quiet as he listened to the answer to his statement, giving small nods as he did. It was good to hear that he wasn't involved with any of that this time, but Hugo wasn't someone who was against law enforcement. If anything, he tried to bring that justice to the people who saw themselves as above it. At the very least, Harumasa wouldn't be an obstacle to that this time. ]
Well, what would you prefer I call you? If we are starting off on a more sociable foot this time, I will do what makes you feel happiest. As for myself, calling me by my first name is fine.
[ In his case, calling him anything else was just messy. His first name was all that was necessary in his case.
The final request gets a laugh, Hugo covering his mouth as he thought about the existence of someone who really did like phantom thieves in this age. It gave him a flutter of enjoyment that was rarely felt these days. ]
That's fine with me. It's rare to find those who like those things these days. Always so hard to get others to believe in things and what not.
