The fellow racer, I assume?
Hmm. This is not exactly the idea behind all this, you know. There is always someone or something, that was not supposed to be the case this time. Plus it would be somehow awkward, we barely know each other and this trip is not exactly a perfect fit for an activity to learn about each other. Especially not when there is the chance she could recognize Sanae in me, this would lead to too many potential questions I would rather avoid.
Anyway, I know why you propose this. You are so considerate, I could not help but free us up even more available time due to this. So how about an alternative?
We have our two or three days. Alone. I'll leave you gear, enough supplies and even the yacht, so you invite Aspen over for some quality vacation day or days with her yourself afterwards. How does that sound?
You wish for some alone time with me? I hold my doubts of her recognising you, but even when, what does it matter? Do you not like playing your ever so tormenting role as a clone? I really doubt she would care either.
Fine. The recognizing part is just an excuse, doesn't change that it would be awkward. So about the idea for you and her, tell me if you want to or not.
Oh and of course. That would be out first time being among ourselves in years, so.. yes. I do want alone time with you. Hmm. You enjoy being the one making this sound weird for a change, don't you?
You make this sound as if you want to hear something specific now. Relax, I have reasons but they're not including the usual teases or stuff beyond that. Kind of require us to be alone though. You'll have to find out why exactly. A shred of mystery.
Oh, ooooh! Perhaps you are afraid of being alone with me because you couldn't resist then? Enough teasing, yes?
Can't get any more private than an island like this. Perhaps that's also a reason? Plus the cats!
But yes, go ask her and don't worry about the Hogosha family boss, he already got a call that he might have to postpone his visit. These local Hogoshas are peculiar but surprisingly considerate if you know how to approach them.
I spoke to her, she has made an agreement and needs a headsup when it's her turn to come over. I estimate you will likely fill me in on such when you ... probably leave, yeah. Probably.
I hope some eight to twelve hours in advance will do the trick for her then.
I gave it some thought, yet not sure, perhaps I will show myself briefly before leaving you two alone.
Anyway, why so nervous? Is this so exciting or are you worried? Though.. admitted. I am excited for it too, it'll be fun! So that means you are ready, right?
