[sssssomeone saw this memory while in the middle of buying a thing and then immediately goes looking for Oni once its over. what is processing when need to find his dog right now???]

[ GOOD NEWS LUCIFEL IMMEDIATELY BOUGHT HIM ANOTHER ONE AND ALSO FUCK HIS LIFE

he'll be at the common area at this point, having taken a seat heavily ]

[LUCIFEL, PLS.

but he approaches carefully, not really sure the kind of reaction that kind of memory might bring out in someone.]

Oni...?

[ weary, but not a complete mess. at least on the outside; he tips his head when he sees him ]

... Hey.

Hey.

[well, he seems stable enough that Boss is going to have no trouble going up to touch his shoulder--gently.

asking if he's okay sounds stupid so he doesn't, but he is just gonna carefully encroach into Oni's personal space because yikes yikes yikes that memory.]

Sorry -- ya had to see that.

[ he's more than welcoming of the touch, reaching up to put his hand on Boss's wrist, not to stop him but just enough point of contact -- though he's not quite meeting his gaze. ]

[the terrible thing about memories: someone hurt his dog and they're not here and there's nothing they can do about it, so...]

... no. You don't have to apologize--you shouldn't apologize. It's better I know this stuff, right?

... Mm. I guess yer right, but it don't make the idea of broadcastin' all that shit any easier.

[ which, he guesses he shot himself in the foot on that one, going with the cheaper option. b u t ]

I guess not.

And being out in the open might not... help much, either?

[he's not sure. but someone sure bullied/enabled to get back to back memories so seems like an overload?]

[ it was lucifel and he's weak ]

Mm. I probably shoulda held off -- when Luci offered buyin' more, but ..

I really wanted to know.

I get that.

[not to that extreme yet, but.

anyway, arms are moving to go around Oni's neck to pull him in for a hug.]

But don't push yourself too much, okay?

[ he laughs, a little haggard, but seems to be more than willing to have that contact; he leans up, wrapping his arms around him ]

I know. I won't be goin' on any more memory benders any time soon.

Good.

[cause he doesn't really know how to deal with memory overloads

... might as well claim a yakuza's lap if they're doing this hugging thing. you now have a lap cat of a Boss in your lap.]

[ nice

he shifts his legs a bit to help accommodate that, for a moment falling quiet, tucking his forehead against Boss' shoulder and breathing out heavily -- like he's been holding part of it in. ]

[yes good. just gonna let his hands undo Oni's ponytail so he can do something like a head massage while he's leaned against him like that.]

[ yes nice. he tips his head up some for that, to show that it's appreciated. also he has a surprising amount of hair, probably usually obscured by the fact he has it up in the ponytail all the time. ]

... Just -- fuckin' sucks. Not knowin' what's goin' on back home, not bein' able to do a single thing about it...

[nice hair, too, which Boss is definitely playing with a little.]

Mm... and it's hard to know what to do in a place like this in the first place.

[ he nods, shallow so as to not move his hair around too much ]

I mighta been under the yakuza's thumb back then but at least ... I can see how I woulda gotten outta that. Not like it is here.

[his hands pause. because... same feel, really.]

... it's still early days. We'll figure something out.

Mm. Feels like it's been way longer'n however long we've actually been here, though.

[ rubs his forehead in a little. ]

... Sorry, I'm just ventin' at this point.

You can vent. It's a frustrating situation.

Yeah, but you gotta lot of shit on yer plate already without me loadin' onto it.

[... yanks on his hair a bit to tilt his head back. someone's not happy about that response.]

We all have a lot of shit on our plates. And my shit's been sorted out somewhat, so it's fine.

[ ok but it's unfair to bring hair tugging into this

a little reluctant, but ]

... I guess yer right on that one. And -- probably, some of the shit I'd be ventin' about you'd sympathize with me 'bout.

[since when is he fair? but he stops tugging at that admission.]

I probably can't relate to everything. But I can listen.
