“Why are you still up at this time of the night???!!??” I asked my husband who was seriously fiddling his laptop keyboards.

“Huh?” he answered as if he’s listening.

“Who are you talking to at 3AM? Why are you still chatting at this wee hour when you should be asleep. We have work in the morning, remember??” I pressed on trying to get him to really hear me.

“ahhhhmmm… huh?” this is all he replied. I didn’t bother to ask some more as I feel he was just wasting my time. I thought I’d better hop back to bed.

The following morning, he woke up late. As expected. It was almost lunch time when he came by my desk, with eyes still barely half-opened and lips grinning excitedly “I bought you an Excellent Guardian set HP +DSR (Defense Success rate) for 20 Jewel of bless and some Jewel of Souls” (in USD, it’s as much as having a breast reduction in Houston, Texas do you think?)

“oh? when?” I asked.

“Last night.. errr.. 3AM. The negotiation took quite a while but it was all worth it.”

“Sou desu ka…” I replied in Japanese tongue then I smiled. So that’s why he was just so consumed then, a negotiation was going on all along, all for a Guardian set for my xcelent_kipr Agility Elf. Cool.
