Despite -- no, because of everything that happened today, Senri is one of the very first people Yu will seek out. It's not immediately after the trial; he thinks ... he ows Senri some space.
But Yu will come find him eventually—in the kitchen. And even though he was looking for Senri, he'll still pause, arrested, his breath stuck in his throat.
He thinks of the other boy's smile, and the rose offered so simply and with such sincerity-- and his heart will beat again. Yu will move into the kitchen. ]
Nito-san. [ softly. ] If you've got a moment... I'd like if we could talk.
he's not really paying attention to anyone who might be milling about, and when he hears someone speak to him, he pauses and glances over his shoulder. his expression is tired - but he offers up a smile.]
Uh-huh.
But if it's another apology, you better keep it. I only accept one per mistake and then I insist we move on.
And you have to accept mine, because even though I was mad, I didn't need to do that to you.
[and then he's gonna go into the cabinets to get another mug]
[ Yu is quiet, blinking-- silenced. Not until Senri goes to get another mug does he shift, a soft kind of wonder touching his expression.
Finally he'll smile, a real smile that touches his eyes, and wander over to the other boy. ]
Actually, I had something I wanted to give you.
[ After the trial -- this, actually, was the first thing he did, when he had a moment alone.
From a pocket in his jacket he'll draw out a little black cat -- an origami black cat. It's simple and geometric, and he didn't get the greatest look at Mr. Mew during the trial, but -- for what it is, it's just close enough of an approximation to be recognizable for what it is.
A gift. He'll set the little origami Mr. Mew on the counter. ]
senri blinks in surprise when he sees it - and his expression brightens up immediately.]
Seriously? You're a funny guy.
[though he also laughs]
I'm hoping you just had origami paper on you this entire time, because I'd be worried if you suddenly got a bum arm just because you thought I was still mad at you.

Actually, yeah, I did. It was a ... [ hm. he looks thoughtful for a moment, rolling his eyes skyward. ] A gift? Something like that.
[ ... scratches his cheek. ] I usually keep a few sheets on me.
[ aka: he's a fucking nerd cadet who keeps origami paper on him, for origami emergencies???? ]

You asked the gods for origami paper?
no subject
Not exactly. I offered to teach a god how to fold origami, and in exchange they let me have the extra paper.
no subject
Oh - that's pretty cute. Which one? Can I ask?

He'll huff a sigh, smiling. ]
