The beard helps a little. [That's as diplomatic as she can manage to be right now.]
I still get to call you puppy in private, though. I promise it's full of sincere affection. It's a dress code, your workplace uniform that says you rightfully belong to this group. The quality of your uniform determines your position within that group. Don't overthink it, just put on something dark and well-tailored. You can be flamboyant and gay in your spare time.
You really have no idea what to do with your majority share, do you? No, dear Daniel, with those shirts, the right word would be 'closeted' and the girl would be your 'beard'.
If you say so. [It seemed like Matt's type of addiction but...what does Danny know, anyway.]
No, she has a dojo, that's how we started to talk. She was advertising her classes in the park I was doing my exercises and we got each other attention. She thought I was a beggar at first, though.
[Yeah it is. Who knows what could happen with time.]
Yes, she's very skilled. Wait, I don't think you know...Colleen killed Bakuto. He trained her, betrayed her and tried to kill her...and then lose to Colleen.
[Danny is so proud of her about that, Bakuto made their life hell and deserved what he got.]
It was right after I had traveled all the way from the Himalayas to New York, on my own. I had to prove that I was really Danniel Rand, it wasn't easy.
Belittling the prop that makes you somebody in the eyes of these sharks is bad form, puppy. For the time being it's your main tool to shut them up. I'm in no rush. I'll wait and see what comes my way.
I'm not saying money isn't useful, especially when there's so much of it. just that society views of what really is important are terribly skewed. You seem to have a lot of experience with those things. Are you from a wealthy family too?
That seems to be a common trait among rich people. Where you home schooled too?
I'm not going to go after you, if that's what you are asking. Or...tell anybody about it, either. If you decide to tell me, it will stay between you and me.
Why not? I'm not incapable of doing it. We could try that 'trust' thing that seems to be so popular among people. I've been lied enough in the past, I try to not do it to others if I can.
Because you have no reason to. You cannot trust me not to turn on you if it benefits me. Also if you were to be my secret keeper, lying would become inevitable.
I can only imagine. We were all males at the Monastery.

Hiiiii o7
Right, affection. I should get to call you something too. What about 'Red'? [At least he isn't calling her old.]
I hold most of the power in the company, I should make wearing nice colors mandatory just to see Ward's face.
I think that when you have money people call this sort of things being 'eccentric'. And I'm dating Colleen so the right word is bi not gay.

no subject
Yeah...no. We are very happy together. She hasn't had it easy either and we understand each other.
no subject
That is so romantic.
no subject
I'm sure you know how that is.
no subject
It sounds very not me.
Is she going to work at your company?
no subject
No, she has a dojo, that's how we started to talk. She was advertising her classes in the park I was doing my exercises and we got each other attention. She thought I was a beggar at first, though.
no subject
A dojo? That sounds fun.
What's with the beggar deal?
Hobo isn't among the many things that come to mind when one thinks of you.

From asceticism to New York billionaire.
no subject
I never exactly had a life plan or much control over it.
no subject
The world is a young billionaires oyster, after all.
no subject
There have been some ups and down so far.
What about you? Any new plans for the future?

For the time being it's your main tool to shut them up.
I'm in no rush. I'll wait and see what comes my way.
no subject
I see. Are you in new York too?
no subject
[Not quite true but they weren't on a swapping-secrets basis anyway.]
Is that a trick question?
no subject
I'm not going to go after you, if that's what you are asking. Or...tell anybody about it, either. If you decide to tell me, it will stay between you and me.
no subject
You would keep my secrets? Why?
no subject
Why not? I'm not incapable of doing it. We could try that 'trust' thing that seems to be so popular among people. I've been lied enough in the past, I try to not do it to others if I can.
