Apologies, Assaults, and Coping With Outcomes

[comboherooo]

[The screen pops on, and the video feed shows Eiji sitting at the computer. Ankh's in the background, either pacing around, or just kicking it against a shelf, waiting for Eiji to do whatever dumb thing he's come here to do. He doesn't get why he had to come along

[There's just the sound of some muffled chuckling.]

[handpuppeeet]

Hey, what the hell are you laughing at, idiot?!

[Nope sorry Eiji you don't get to answer.]

[terranities]

N--Nothing...

[Must. Control. Sniggering.]

[handpuppeeet]

Shut up, moron! What the hell do you know?!

[EIJI YOU'RE RUINING HIS DOUCHEBAG REPUTATION.]

[groovy_mutation]

He has friends?

[It was more a question of surprise than anything else. And he felt bad for even asking the question. But honestly, Ankh had always come off as someone who didn't want or desire friends of any sort.]

While it's nice to apologize for him, I'm not sure it will make up for anything wrong he has done to people here.

[comboherooo]

Well. He might not return the thought, but I consider him a friend.

[Eiji nods, and looks a little dejected.] I know it's a hollow gesture coming from someone you don't know, but I still felt I should at least do that much. [Because there's no way in hell Ankh's going to apologize.]

If there's anything more I can do to help with something, or make some kind of amends, please let me know. [He bows at the screen now, quickly raising back up. It's something he's got into a habit of repeating, but the offer and the thought behind it is sincere.]

[groovy_mutation]

I suppose everyone needs a friend, even if they don't desire one.

[He didn't mean to make Eiji feel bad, it was a good gesture to offer some apology, or some explanation, but still.]

It's not hollow at all, you seem to genuinely feel bad for what he's done, it's only a shame Ankh could not share some of the sentiment.

[He's very polite, that's for sure, it's a nice change from Ankh needless to say.]

I should introduce myself, seeing as your friend happens to be a roommate of mine. Charles Xavier, it's a pleasure to meet you. [A slight bow of his head towards the screen in greeting.]

[comboherooo]

[Eiji nods, giving the older man a slight smile.] I agree.

Likewise, Mr. Xavier - I am Hino Eiji. Ankh and I come from the same world, and have a bit of history. [He does sound slightly exasperated as he says that - he's rather used to having to clean up the messes Ankh makes.]

[comboherooo]

[Since there's no video, Francisca is missing out on a confused face.]

Ah...uhm. I don't know what you're talking about, miss.

Ankh...?

[handpuppeeet]

[And here is Ankh being totally unaffected, Fran.]

I mean that he's not around here anymore. His friend made a post about how they were going to try and get out of here and then no one saw them again. Either they made it out of here, or they got caught by the people who run this place, and either way you're probably not going to be seeing him around here again.

Ohh, so you're the parasite's friend? Are you perhaps a back-up body if something happens to the one he's currently using~?

[comboherooo]

Parasite? I don't know if I'd call him that. It's more symbiotic than parasitic, I think - but I'm not a back-up body.

[begin0peration]

I suppose symbiote works just as well, and is a bit less threatening. Never the less. Your symbiote friend WAS rather standoffish, so I supposed I would h ave to dug tgea

[hoboherooo]

...miss, are you okay?
