You've reached Itsuki Koizumi; I will be sure to return messages as promptly as possible.

[He bows.]

Of course. I don't think it would be much help for most storing your sustenance - it will never be equipped as a hospital here, after all. But I'll do whatever stockpiling becomes necessary.

[onceknighted]

The hospital is nearby anyway, so it isn't a terrible situation to be in. [a shrug, which is followed by a curt nod to indicate his approval for storing whatever's needed.]

But about the studies. Is this enough room to conduct research on things like that?

[deputychief]

Of course. But even a short distance may be too long under some circumstances. Still, we'll see.

As for that -- perhaps not in the long term. In the short term I don't see why not.

[onceknighted]

I can't very well dig an underground tunnel connecting my house to the hospital, so I'll make do with what I have.

That said, as long as you promise not to build any underground tunnels, break any of the walls or the ceiling, keep your fire in check and leave any stray animals outside, the room is now yours for whatever purpose you'd like.

[deputychief]

It's very kind of you. I wouldn't rule out the underground tunnel so soon, though, if I were you -- but it's your choice.

[onceknighted]

Please don't say something that implies you wouldn't mind an underground tunnel right after I give you access to my house. [that's how he interprets it, at least. KIDS ON HIS LAWN tearing up his petunia beds for their power plants and underground labyrinths...!!]

[deputychief]

I don't see the harm in it, myself. It would be very useful. But it is your house.

[onceknighted]

If you know anyone capable of creating something like that without compromising the structural integrity of the house, be my guest. [...is what he says, but he doesn't actually mean it, which he doesn't say. gold standard communication!]

[deputychief]

Well, I'll be very careful.

[probably.]

[onceknighted]

The damages will be on your head if you can't manage that. [he will be scrutinizing the area for burn marks just you wait.

that said, he gives the room another quick glance before turning back to the hall.] But that ought to be it, then. If you have any other questions, leave a note if I'm not here. Otherwise, have at it.

[deputychief]

Very well, Charles. I'll see you later, then.

[He'll stick around for a few minutes examining the room himself again before departing.]
