[Ioder looks a bit groggy as he turns his SFC on. Hair a mess, clothes slightly rumpled, he lets out a rather loud yawn before starting]

I apologize... for my absence. I've fallen victim to another sleep coma...

[He's going to not mention that he was also absent from work for a good two weeks before his coma. If anyone brings it up, sure, but for now he's going to... try to act like nothing happened.]

I should be able to return to the host club in time for the ball.

[He manages a tiny smile.]

I wouldn't want to miss that, after all.

Ah... that said, have I missed anything important?

Alright. Thank you!

[The comment about security gets a bit of a confused blink, but somewhere in Ioder's expression there's a fraction of relief that can be seen.]

Oh... well, that's good...

Yeah! So you got nothing to worry about, kid. I'll see you for the ball, okay? Or maybe before that if you wanna try on the outfit first.

[He smiles and it's a different kind of smile, more genuine.]

Take care, half-pint.

[Ioder hesitates, but returns the smile in kind with a nod.]

Thank you, Zelos.
