[Well, that's a relief. Natsume strives to be considerate in most things, at least, especially to people who treat him well—and this is just a first conversation, and an odd one at that (Natsume isn't used to texting, doesn't have a phone or that sort of thing at home), but this person has treated him well. So he's glad to hear it, a reassurance in turn, but he's not sure how to address it.
He may have shed a lot of his socially awkward stilt, but some of it lingers, and so in the end he decides not to address it at all. Instead...]
I'm Natsume.
[Natsume "T", if his username is anything to go by. It's not secrecy, just the way he's used to being called; "Takashi" is used only by caretakers, really.
Also, there's the fact he hasn't been exposed much to Western names and dealings.]
Sorry, but do I call you Mr. or Ms.? I've never heard your name before.
