“Mm, I guess that is something to take into consideration. But, again with respect, sometimes the best way to deliver criticism is not to sugar coat words. It might not necessarily make friends, but the best truths are often the hardest ones to hear and you can’t make light of some of those truths. Even if one may want to." 

A pause and a frown.

"It’s not entirely fair to judge a person simply on the fact that their way of telling the truth may inadvertently hurt that person’s feelings. But I assure you, even in his criticism is he polite." 

"While I agree with you on principle, there are many situations in which a certain degree of tact is required. As the son of the Superintendent General of Japan and the head of the Wickham Charitable Funding Association in England, his proper conduct is incredibly important. Especially with how famous he is in his own right in both countries.

"Objective criticism should be polite, yes, but sometimes it is best to not voice the opinion at all… particularly if it’s not going to result in any positive change, anyway.”

So while Hakuba’s mom is here

Might I remind you that this will be the best time to tell her of his adventures while he’s on Tumblr

Like the goat, and the getting KIDs pregnant thing, also the drunk texting

Though we might not see Hakuba until he’s like 40 if we do pfft

“…has he been doing drugs again? Please tell me he hasn’t.”

Shinori is rather confused by all this talk of Hakuba being pretentious. “I don’t see how he’s being pretentious? Ah, with all due respect.”

“That’s very sweet of you to say, but not everyone takes to his criticism very well… and he’s often quite insensitive with the things that he says. Normally, he’s very well behaved and polite, but… occasionally, he puts his foot – loudly – right into his own mouth.”

“I take it there’s a lot of that? Well, it’d be unwise if he came in contact with my older sister. She’d just reinforce that, as she’s stubborn and a bit of a hothead. Perhaps my older brother could temper him, but I’m unsure of if he’ll pick up his bad habits.”

“Dare I ask who your siblings are so that I can watch out for them? Or at least find out if it’s already far too late~?"

“I know that feeling rather well. Even if you love your family, you just can’t ignore some of their more glaring flaws, especially something like that.”

“Considering his age, he may learn to stop acting that way soon. Hopefully, what shakes him out of it won’t be anything too serious.”

“One can only hope, but it seems like he’s inherited both mine and his father’s levels of stubbornness, which is, frankly, frightening."
