[...there's a kind smile before he shakes his head.]
C'mere. [He's being as careful as possible not to touch him, but he's working on getting the ballgag off. That looks very uncomfortable and it takes a little longer than normal, but eventually he'll be freed.]
[junpei really doing his best out here - but higekiri will just sigh in relief when they manage to get the ball gag off of him, without even starting any horny
You have nothing to apologize for, you know? [The ball gag is handed to Higekiri to keep for whatever he wants, and his hands go into his pocket.] But...this isn't great for any of us, I think.
Yes. [There's really no denying that because Escha was important in general.] But that's what happens...you get close to people, and then someone takes them away. [Carlos, Prompto, Escha...how unfair.]
[It's a lot to process, he thinks. Life continues to be difficult and he continues not knowing how to change things. He doesn't think to say "thank you" or anything like that, but there's an uneasy look to that statement.]
...I'm worried about Nightwing, to be honest. He's not going to take this any easier than I am.
Yes. [Point blank, because:] I don't really know what I'm thinking or how to think or what to do right now and I don't want to try yet. Not while she's still alive. Not while we have time with her.
...you're right. I could probably manage, like, soup? Or eggs. [Junpei is the equivalent of a college boy living on his own for the first time.] It probably doesn't matter as long as the thought counts.
[So he nods.] Let's do that, then. [It might help him quiet his mind a little anyway.]
Mm, I think so. It would be good to simply ensure there will be something in her stomach, I think - and something for Nightbeak as well. He tends to not eat as much when he's focusing, I think.
You noticed too, huh. [Not that Junpei can say shit given he tends to just run himself down until he has to eat or sleep. This is why the threesome room is the way it is.] We can make plenty for both of them. It's...bound to be a long night.

clean it and give it back to nika, but at that he frowns]

What can we even do before tomorrow?
no subject
I don't know.
But I do know that I'm sorry that life has treated you so harshly.

no subject
I will certainly fuss over him later... but would it make it easier to focus on him rather than talking about yuorself?
no subject
no subject
he nods]
Mm. Do you want to prepare a meal for her together then?
no subject
...it's a nice gesture, isn't it? She usually brings us desserts once a week. But I'm pretty bad at cooking. Think we could stick with something easy?
no subject
[or at least -
that's what he hopes for?]
no subject
[So he nods.] Let's do that, then. [It might help him quiet his mind a little anyway.]
no subject
he sure is trying]
