[ Ryunosuke truly has no idea how that would work. Mr. Sholmes would be able to kiss Mr. Inui, he imagines, but how could the opposite be true? Perhaps it's for the best that he doesn't think too hard on it. ]
I'm glad that you two had a nice evening, then.
[ He'll leave it at that. ]
At first I attended by myself and spoke to friends of mine who I encountered while there, but then I realized that Miss Rebecca was conspicuously absent. I did manage to find her and had a chat with her based on your advice from the other night.

[ Leaving him just a little bit in suspense now...! ]
[ The fact that Ryunosuke's doing this by phone messages and not in person is probably a sign that he isn't too broken up about how things played out. Otherwise he might have come to the Phoenix dormitory to mope. ]
She seemed in shock at first. She wanted me to tell her very directly how I felt, to be certain that we both felt the same way.
It went well, and then we realized we were trapped by the mistletoe. Once that was taken care of, we went back to the ball together.
[That would be the logical assumption, of course. But Sholmes wants it verified -- and he is one for playing into dramatics, too, of course.]
Truly? Words do not do justice to how happy I am for you, Mr Naruhodo! I knew, of course, that it would be a "risk" worth taking, to confess your feelings to each other. And it was, hm?
[ A risk worth taking. Yes, that's a good way of putting it. Ryunosuke's so new to all of this that he doesn't quite know what happens next, but Rebecca seems willing to feel it out with him. ]
Oh yes, indeed! I have been saving the visit, you know. And what better way to unwind and rest these not-so-old bones but with a dip in steaming water?
Right now? I suppose there is no reason why we shouldn't. Shall I meet you there, then?
[ Ryunosuke is used to Sholmes being the sort of person who decides things on a whim. It had been exhausting at first, but this is simply what he expects from him now. ]
[ Ryunosuke has to give him that much. He'd woken up in Sholmes' suite each morning with not a clue what the day might bring.
He suspects that any further messages he sends by smart phone won't be seen, and focuses instead on making his way to the onsen. With how cold out it is and the snow beginning to stick, the contrast of the hot water is bound to feel incredible.
He steps into the small lodge when he arrives to undress and take a towel, but sees no sign of Sholmes yet. Hmmm... ]

I received a few kisses from Mr Inui. All-in-all, I should say that it was not a bad experience in the slightest.
[How does one kiss a man with a gun for a head? He will leave that to Ryunosuke's imagination.]
Your teammate went to a great effort, or at least that is what it sounds like. I am glad you had a pleasant time. Did you attend by yourself?

Well, dear boy, do not "leave me hanging", as they say, there! Tell me what she said!

[Yes he's calling him out on that. SIR!!]

I think I have had enough cake to last me for now. [ So polite. ] We were supposed to visit the onsen, however, if my memory serves.
