It's fine. [Says Yukio, quietly as he tries to pull himself together, shove the fear down and away.]

You didn't hurt me.

[Miki doesn't look fine. Miki is back to cowering, ears flat out to the sides, tail tucked, body tense and curved.]

[aono]

['You didn't hurt me'.

Rin knows that Yukio means physically there, and that there's deep-seated problems with their talks. But somehow those words are still a comfort to Rin, and they make him sigh and relax slightly.

He didn't hurt Yukio. It's okay.]

Yeah, okay. I'll just...be more careful.

[reflash]

Is there anything else you wanted to talk about? [He says, which really means "we're done here".]

[aono]

[Well, that tone's familiar.]

Nah. I'll just head out now.
