[There's a crystal ping at lunch hour for Alvin's favorite samurai! Who...sounds a little down, actually. The fact that he's even letting his emotions show means that

1. Alvin's a bro, and thus someone he can trust; and
2. It's that bad that he can't hold it all back. ]

Good day, Alvin. ...I apologize that the last few time we have met, it has been due to my personal issues. And I'm sorry, but I need to impose on you once again.

[A pause.]

I'm in need of some company tonight. Would an evening drink suit you? I don't want to keep you too long away from your family.
