[Yep... that's the problem with Hiyori's texting style. It's like his speaking style! He never stops!!
But he does stop and pause for a moment here.
His smile fades as he reads that first message. Boy, Jun-kun is clueless. He really has no idea about the dangers around here. In all fairness, Hiyori only learned about some of them recently, and hasn't informed him about all of them just yet. But there are reasons it might help to have strong allies, besides just being able to escape.]
Prepared for anything, I guess. I know it might seem like the only real threat is drugs that make your body feel hot, but I've heard some disturbing things recently. Things about monster sightings and ghoul sightings, for example. Not to mention that with so many powerful people running around, I'm not sure it's safe to assume there aren't any bad eggs. Some people's powers are dangerous by their own admission. They might not be strong enough to overthrow the House, but they could still do some real damage to so-called "ordinary" people like ourselves. Plus that frenzy we saw out in the hall was sort of disturbing...
[There's more that he could say here. He really needs to tell Jun that someone accidentally (?) killed a staff member and faced no consequences for it. Murder is okay here, apparently. And if that gets out to everyone, who knows what sort of chaos might ensue?
Of course there isn't danger lurking around every corner. The only time he really felt unsafe was probably at the Roost, and you have to go out of your way to find that place. Still...]
Those are just some reasons I'd like to have strong allies. I figure it also helps to know how magic works, since the whole place seems to run on it. Though that's its own can of worms, since magic seems to operate according to different rules in every world.
But anyway, if it's my connections you're concerned about, then worry not! I may forge other connections, but I still intend to rely plenty on you! And even if I start working together with others, Jun-kun will still be my precious partner! 🥰 I don't want you feeling lonely or left out, so I just thought I'd say that.
[He knows damn well that wasn't Jun's concern.]
Honestly, I'm not sure either. The House can always cheat by using magic, so even the low-pollen flowers might not be safe. I don't think it's the majority though, since we went to that exhibition and we came back alright. Plus I sniffed some flowers in the marketplace at that welcome thing, and those didn't leave me feeling anything except refreshed!
[Actually, both the flowers he sniffed did have side effects, but he doesn't know that. One of them just made whoever smelled it more confident in their appearance, but he was already plenty narcissistic confident, so he noticed no change!]
Sounds good! If you want to give it a little personalized touch, we could always include a tag or a card with both our signatures. But anyway, I'll leave you to work on that cake soon, and I'll start looking for gifts posthaste!
