[ and with that, souji actually lets out a small laugh. he was so unhappy earlier but just like that, she manages to get a chuckle out of him and his mood starts to get on a more even level ]
Unfortunately, he doesn’t have the exact same fiery passion about cats like I do but he does like them enough. I’ll hopefully convert him completely into the way of the cat, however, just like I am slowly doing with you.

You are not, though as always I appreciate your relentless optimism.
[As if on cue, somewhere in the house Kawaii-san screams. It's an amiable scream; just letting Ros know that he's around, and that perhaps she ought to come find him. She pauses, but fortunately, he isn't so needy that he'll continue to scream. That's nice.]
Though I'm certain he knows what to get you for your half-year anniversary.
[A beat, and a memory stirs:]
Was this the boy you speaking of when you were feeding me that daddy nonsense? Or-- no, that was a high schooler, wasn't it.

[He won't be alone--
That's what finally gets a reaction out of him, quiet as it is. His head dips and there's another one of those sobs, this one so tiny it can barely be heard, a catch of the breath and the softest whimper of distress.
It is lonely, horrifyingly so, to think of his home now empty. To be so devoid of the people who cared for him most, who gave him the warmth and attention he'd never realized he needed.
His parents - his own parents wouldn't ever be able to compare. In the back of his mind, he knows he'll have to deal with that too, but he's exhausted at the thought. As intelligent and efficient as they are, he already knows that trying to explain anything to them is going to be a feat of its own.
Still. Still, that isn't yet now, and right now there are other things. He pulls his hand away from Souji's - if only so he can embrace him instead, clinging tight.]
Souji-- Souji, I'm sorry.
[And yet, in spite of that, in spite of everything he'd done tonight, he isn't alone.]

["a night." He places his hand on Souji's shoulder, trying to be reassuring, in his own way. Mako was never one for physical contact in most cases, but... Souji looked like he needed it. and honestly, Mako only came because he was concerned about him.]
What happened?
[he wanted to know, outside of the report. some sort of explanation for why his best friend had gotten into that situation.]

[he smiles a bit.]
We used to. Bolin still tries more often than not.
[it's a little wistful.]
After mom and dad died... It stopped. But once we got out of the foster system, that's when it started to get better.

[ when kawaii-san screams, souji just lets out another small chuckle. ]
No, that was a different person and it was a joke, but maybe I'll do it for real with Tatsuma. He's persuadable enough to probably agree.

[ i'm so excited i just can't hide it ]
Of course. Did you come up with a new recipe?

Looks like!
You don't have a strong opinion about steak, right?
[Some people get Upset about their steaks ok]

[There's also a purplish aura coming from it, much like the coffee]
So long as you both consent, that's all that matters.
[She rises as she says it, nodding to him.]
Come along. We'll put some frozen peas on that, get the swelling down. No cuts?

[ while one arm is wrapped around tatsuma, souji places one hand on the back of tatsuma's head, pulling him in closer. he'll let tatsuma hold onto him for as long as he wants, even throughout the entire time. the original plan was to give tatsuma the bed while souji takes the futon but if they can share the small bed that souji has, maybe that will be for the best ]
I know... I know, Tatsuma. [ he reassures him in a soft, hushing voice ] It's all right. It'll be all right.
[ because souji will do everything in his power to make sure that tatsuma will get over this ]

[ there's a lull as souji tries to piece everything together in a coherent way to say. normally, he doesn't have a problem speaking his mind and being able to put his thoughts into words but tonight, there's just so much. he struggles to find out how to say everything without rambling or becoming a mess, and he lets out a heavy breath before he starts ]
... Tatsuma's grandparents, they were struck in a hit-and-run. I was there with Tatsuma when he got the call about it and after the initial grief, that grief quickly turned into anger. He wanted to get revenge, to hurt the people who hurt him, and he searched around the city for the driver. It eventually led him to the bar while I tried to stop him, he didn't listen. He just wanted someone to pay for what happened... eventually, some of his other friends arrived to convince him to leave and it soon turned into the bar fight that you read about. Tatsuma came out needing stitches, one of us broke their leg, and I just got a few bruises.
[ he just tilts his head but only so slightly to bring attention to his left cheek where the bruises remain ]

[ ah, "after mom and dad died"... souji knows that can't be an easy topic for mako to talk about, especially know how mako is, but for him to bring it up so casually around souji, it's... kind of nice. to see that they share that kind of trust between them ]
I can't imagine that foster care was very kind.

[ he was trying to crack a joke, trying to see if he could get a reaction out of her by mentioning another daddy kink but when she just passes through it, he's less disappointed and more impressed. hm, maybe he should say something more bewildering another time? but he shakes his head at her question ]
No, I was able to heal those but I suppose healing can't solve everything.
[ such as the bruising and some of the swelling ]

It's still rather handy in a pinch. I'm jealous.
[She says it lightly, though she wishes she hadn't. It brings to mind her own injuries-- healed over, yes, but still scarred, white and vivid. It brings back all those memories she steadfastly refuses to acknowledge, and she doesn't want to ever think about them.
So she makes herself busy, opening the freezer and fetching a bag of peas that are a little more freezerburned than they ought to be. Oh, well.]
How goes it with your Personas? Any new developments?

[It's hard to believe that everything will ever be all right again, with the pain in his heart so raw and strong. It's hard to believe that there will ever come a time when this day isn't remembered with an intense horror and grief, so intense he can hardly contain it.
He'll stand there for some time. When he finally draws away, his eyes are slightly red, slightly watery.
Now, he's truly spent. Whether Souji gave him the bed or the futon, it's likely he'd simply fall asleep regardless, too taxed physically and mentally to much care, his entire being requiring rest to even begin to heal the wounds that would surely leave behind scars.]

[ he follows her into the kitchen and leans against the counter once they get there. he tilts his head slightly to the side as he talks ]
I have gotten yet another new one. They seem to come every other month. They’re also differing from Yu’s Personas.
[ there’s a small frown as he says this ]
We used to share the same Personas for the first three but now we’re starting to get different ones.

[ Yu opens his mouth to speak, but nothing comes out. In the end, he just sighs and casts the spell. ]
... I think you'd better start from the beginning.
... I think you'd better start from the beginning.
[ souji lets out a deep breath, trying to figure out where to start. he supposes that just being direct about everything is the best way to approach this ]
... Tatsuma's grandparents passed away because of a hit-and-run. The only information we were given about the accident was where it occurred and what model the car was. We didn't get a license plate or a description of the driver but Tatsuma... he didn't really care. He just wanted someone to be responsible.
[ souji's hands open and close as he speaks, balling up into fists for a second before releasing ]
He found the same car model outside of a bar and went in to find the driver. I tried to stop him, along with some of our friends, but we couldn’t get him the budge. As a result, he eventually got bottled over the head. This—
[ he tilts his head to the left, showing off his bruised cheek ]
—is from punching the man who bottled him.
