[it's soft, and genuinely meant. it's painful, to lose anyone you care for. even as she'd never wish a few souls here, their absence was something she carried with herself. even if he acts as though it doesn't matter...]
Tell me their name. If they somehow turn up, I'll let you know of it.
[ he gives a small, seemingly noncommittal shrug at that, doing his best to look like he really doesn't care- which is unfortunately not very good. he's always been bad at covering up how he feels.
there's an obvious hesitance at that request, his gaze darting to the side, then the other, then up....before he finally looks back at the screen casting a light blue glow shadows over his features. a few moments pass before he actually deigns to type anything, but he doesn't make eye contact when he flips it over. ]
rude reno its whatever tho
[ he feels the need to delete that as soon as possible, but shifts uncomfortably in place instead. ]
[she nods, lips silently forming the names as she says it to herself. she'll remember. she'll put it in her head and keep it there, easily accessed. she'll remember, for his sake.]
If I hear of them, I'll send you a message straightaway. It's a promise.
[one she gives easily, knowing how important it is to have people here.]
[ promise, she says. he nearly snorts, but tampers it down in the weird funk he's found himself in. the chair makes little screeching noises against the floor as he tucks his legs up higher, nearly grimacing at the silence that follows as he churns that around in his head before turning his phone back around. ]
sure i guess if thats what you wanna do
[ it's not a 'no', which is a significant improvement. he'd rather not stew on those thoughts for longer than necessary, so he hurries to skip to something besides his lack of familiar faces. ]
The Sutoku Alliance. Though that hardly matters in this clinic.
[he'd have heard the rumors. that this place treats people regardless of their faction association. nothing confirmed, but...she's not wearing a pin or anything.]
I take it you're otherwise, since I didn't see you in the crop of newcomers to our side.
[ sutoku, sutoku...which one was that again? it takes him a minute before it comes back to him, and he gives a small nod. from the minor tidbits he's heard about the other clans thus far, it sounds about right for her.
neutral ground, though...well, she was like that before, so it shouldn't surprise him. ]
nah i got the . tamamo clan
[ dosei reaches into his pocket and pulls out a little metal pin, shaped like a fox...or it would be a pin, but it just looks like a small magnet. pins, needles, tomato, tomato. ]
I know a few people there. If you need anything, go to them, and tell them I sent you. Aerith, Shylock, and Musashi - they're the most reliable ones. And they're my friends, so they'll know to treat you appropriately.
[especially Aerith, who she has a suspicion will bulldoze her way into Dosei's life in all the right ways.]
[ huh. well, at least one of those names is familiar- the others makes his eyes scrunch critically. he's not too sure how he feels about other people being reliable, but he doesn't protest all the same, just making a soft huffing noise as he leans back in his chair.
it takes him a moment before he starts typing again, memory hitting fully. ]
musashi thats the one with the gross office
[ and the one who was nice enough to get him an alternative tamamo pin, but he'll die before he mentions that. imagine admitting you say 'thank you'. ]
i guess as long as theyre not annoying
[ which is...about as closest to a yes we're going to get right now. ]
I can't promise you won't think they aren't, at least at first.
[she knows his attitude too well for that.]
But they're there to help if you need them. Especially Aerith - she's in this clinic with me as one of the nurses. And she grew the garden out in the back.
[they'll either get along like a house on fire or he'll act like a wet cat. they'll have to see.]
[ ok, well. that flusters him a bit, but he tugs his mask up a bit further up his nose and sinks further in his chair. part of him should be glad people accept miserable is his natural state of being, but you know....the mortifying ordeal of being known.
he wrinkles his nose at the garden mention, clearly unimpressed. emily is the one exception to his feelings towards doctors and such in general, so dealing with another doesn't seem to thrill him. ]
if she comes near me with a needle im kicking and running
[ not an exaggeration, he'd break a window if he had to. ]
