Now that I've been here a few days, it seems like time for a celebration! I hope everyone will come by. There will be plenty of food and drinks and room for everyone!
If I am not mistaken, it is custom to bring a gift of some kind to a housewarming party. As I am something of a connoisseur of sweets, is there anything particular you might be craving so far from home? I believe I may have a platter of sweet red bean cakes that I've been saving. Or maybe just manju?
I neither need nor expect my guests to bring gifts. However, the pastries I've ordered for the party are exclusively Western - to celebrate my new Western home, you see. If you can bear to part with something, it might be a treat for my new friends to have the opportunity to try a Japanese confection!
My name is Ianto Jones. I've been sort of assigned to keep an eye out for you as you're still a minor. Erm. It's probably something we should discuss in person. Though I would be honored to attend your party.
Oh, Mr. Jones! Yes, I was told you would be 'popping by' to look in on me, and I appreciate your willingness to take the trouble, since apparently there's some sort of legal difficulty with my lack of adult supervision.
I was also told you make exceptional tea! I'd very much like to meet you, sir, at your convenience of course.
Whenever you'd like, we can meet. Preferably before the party, but I don't think there's much of a rush, to be honest. So long as I take an interest, the powers that be can't say too much.
