Yeah. And I know ya will, Izō. I toldja y' gotta knack for this stuff. And that Nishitani guy..?

[ he makes a face because it's a sour memory, but in his own words, ryouma will never begrudge someone for just doing their job. even if their job sucks for him personally. ]

The guy's a professional. Checkin' would just be doin' your due diligence.

[ he reaches over to give an enthusiastic (and encouraging) pat on the shoulder, choosing to smile instead of dwelling on the rest. ]

But not t' worry! I'll make all the arrangements for ya since I'm the one insistin', ain't gotta worry about a thing.

[ it doesn't matter that he's taking on something else in his already grossly overloaded schedule. if it helps izō, it's worth it. ]
