[Daigo... FIRST OF ALL, this is going to drive him mad trying to figure out if you're quoting erotic poetry at him or composing it yourself, and for fuck's sake, he's supposed to know these things without asking and...
[This reply now comes with video. Video of Waver in an shirt with first few buttons undone, eating cherries one by one out of a nearby bowl. Did he warn you he could be frustrating? Well, he's going to be frustrating.]
[ What is happening right now? He's a little harried from an uptick in emergency calls to the garage as it is. His hair is already a bit askew even before he drags a hand back through it in contemplation of this call. Is this some kind of stress dream. ]
Me? I think that might strain credulity.
[ Head yakuza poet? Majima would die laughing at him. He clears his throat and keeps his expression neutral. ]
But I enjoy reading some poems in my down time.
[ Sometimes the five minutes to himself to read a poem and smoke a cigarette were all he was going to get before duty called him back to the boardroom. A private, quiet thing that has somehow gotten wrapped up in the way he talks to and flirts with Shaxx-- which, literally, the last thing he would like to do right now is explain to Waver how he flirts with someone else. Hell.
He pokes around for the offending message, finds it, and mostly controls the twist of his mouth. Why the weird one about the fruit? Cough. ]
[Toying with a berry as Waver arches a brow at him. Why not head Yakuza poet? Some might say it's a refined pastime suitable of such a high-ranking individual.]
And I never said that. I enjoy Eliot as much as Euripides.
[ This is, of course, worse than facing down his boardroom. Give him twenty yakuza bosses any day of the week. ]
I started reading more when I was chairman.
[ It wasn't of interest before that, when he was busy being drunk all the time. Even when he'd been in jail, he'd been more interested in picking fights and telling himself he'd get Ryuji back for what he had done. He hadn't yet relearned how to sit quietly with himself and not just be angry. ]
I wouldn't say I'm too literate on poetry though. I'll just... share a poem, if it's interesting.
[ Will he ever get a moment's dignity in this relationship... ]
Well, I had been using them to tease someone who was out of town for a while.
[ Not that one. He hadn't really planned on sending that one to anyone, just snapped it as he was reading with a laugh because it was a weird horny poem. Was he trying to send a picture of Goro and did this to himself instead? Unclear, but now he just has to deal with it. ]
So I'd say the collection is 9/10ths love poems at the moment.
[ He's getting hot up his neck. This would be easy to brush off if it was literally anyone else.]
Listen, that fruit poem is strange. [ Hen dayo ] I wouldn't send that to anyone on purpose without at least 3 of those cry laughing faces that the news tells me aren't cool any longer.
[ Peeled fruit is both very strange and very graphic and he's sorry. ]

[...... it's cute??????????? That red is cute?????????]
... alright, Daigo. You don't need to explain further. I get it.
[As a broad smile spreads across his face and he eats another cherry.
Christ, he is being such a troll, and normally this is no fun, but somehow it is. That said, he doesn't want to push too much; Daigo might have said he likes frustration, but he doesn't want to be actually awful.]
[ He considers for a moment, and then gamely concedes, ]
Good. And you're welcome to message me a few more puns as they occur to you throughout the day.
[ He doesn't think he's at the erotic poetry stage of things just yet with this particular secretive mage. Puns are different matter though, he's pretty sure he can get behind that. ]
