@holyscorch asked: ❝ i’m sorry. i wish i could do more to help. ❞ / ryouta
The way he moves is clumsy, strangely so for someone who's body was made to be exact and steady in every move. It isn't even the liquor- he's barely drank any. As if it's ever really worked the way he wants; his systems are too efficient, too inhuman to enjoy the vices he's always leaned on to cope. No it's just him. Ashamed maybe, to be found sitting in a dark room, grieving. His heavy body propped up against the wall. It was fine being found, it was fine even being spoken too- but comforted? It's where he stutters in thought, where his hand shifts, no- slips of it's own accord. Knocking over a half empty bottle as he moves to get to his feet.
" i wish i could do more. " More. More. More- more what?
Oh he liked Ryouta, he cherished any time he got to linger in his presence. But right now, he didn't like that his grief was so visible, and seen by someone else who mattered to him. He doesn't know if he should laugh, or cry, or just leave. He opts instead to stumble some as his heels plant him upright, leaning over far enough to swipe the bottle before too much spills. " There ain't nothin' for it. And there ain't any reason t'be sorry. " did he say too much? About his family, about his daughter? Long dead, all of them.
There really isn't anything anyone can do.
" Just. Need some time to get my head on straight is all. " he says so as he glances around the room. Spotting his hat laying on the floor. " I'll be fine come morning, promise. Jus' a bad day is all. It'll pass. "
