[i can't believe the 11am drunks were them all along
IT'S FINE, THOUGH. As usual, Souji is pretty unperturbed by the actual violence involved in the execution. Mostly he's just glad that Natsuo is back and that the Ions were spared...]
Hellooo, Saizo! Have you been good? [His immediate greeting once he opens the door, as Saizo bounds off the bed immediately to-- probably try headbutting Jae-ha in the shin because he's just that kinda pig, but he's DOING HIS BEST.
Souji just moves over to start pouring drinks because why the fck not]
ANYWAY GIVE HIM A SECOND TO SHAKE OUT OF HIS DAZE so he can angrily bukii about being manhandled so RUDELY. Souji just laughs, moving over to hand Jae-ha a glass without offering to take Saizo back so he can just drink with a pig.]
Saizo also does his best, but he's got Resting Rage Face.]
You don't want to hold him? He likes being held, you know.
[Souji says that, but Saizo's expression seems to say I'm an angry and tired old soul and I want to be freed from this mortal coil. So he's basically Hijikata.]
[TAKING HIS ANGRY PIG. Saizo looks exactly the same in his arms as he does in anyone else's, but he seems to be more comfortable at the same time... Somehow.]
Aha, if you want to be held, all you need to do is ask! ♥ I have plenty of room in my arms, you know.
[He also has plenty of tuberculosis so maybe not.]
And so is Souji, whose joking demeanor fades just a little at the reminder of how tired everything and everyone in this castle is. He takes a careful sip of his sake, moving to sit on his bed and gesturing Jae-ha over.]
I've been told I'm very good at being distracting.
[This is much worse-looking and sounding than he actually means.]
ANYWAY HE JUST sets down his pig (who immediately bounces off to claim the pillow as his new seat), sets down his cup, and makes a "turn around" sort of gesture with his newly freed hand.]
[if i was playing kaoru he would be dead in a hotass second BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT'S SOUJI, so tragically, Jae-ha will live to ho another day.
Instead, after Souji scoots over to sit behind him, he'll feel... hands on his shoulders! And then a strong-palmed kneading.
He's
going to get a shoulder massage.
On the plus side Souji is canonically extremely good at these which I also hate!! But here we are. I'm literally going to fight myself before you get a chance to.]
[DON'T SHOW WEAKNESS AROUND SOUJI, IT'S A DANGER.]
Ah, is that no good? I could use more pressure if you'd like.
[He's got a lot of arm strength for someone who's Literally Dying but he's also just as likely to try tickling Jae-ha to see if it gets an equally funny reaction, now.]
I can tell. I don't know how you manage to carry people and move so effortlessly when your shoulders are such a mess.
[A PUNK... But he'll start working those knots away with his thumbs and the heel of his palms, miraculously not trying to tickle his soul out of his body. Yet.]
well it's a little horrifying how jae-ha is actually going to just. melt into that? that's nice. that's actually really, really nice, given how stressed he's been]
[i can't believe how easy it would be for souji to murder jae-ha
He's actually pleased though?? His goal is to provide a distraction and some de-stressing, so Jae-ha relaxing is telling him his mission is going well, okay.]
Well, I guess dependable people will always be like that even if their backs are twisted into knots.
[A little, light laugh. He's used to dealing with that sort... It's why he's so dang good at shoulder and back rubs in the first place.]
You know... I have a really hard time picturing Sousei-san sitting still long enough for anything, but especially anything that might be relaxing. [He may, in fact, be allergic to relaxation??] Still, for a prize like that, I suppose I'll have to try.
[Honestly
he just wants to see if he can actually talk Sousei into it...]

Don't be unkind to our guest, Saizo.

please give him back his sweet squirrel that just tries to feed him acorns]
Ah - maybe you should take him...

even as he reaches out for that glass]

that's not the impression Jae-ha is getting]
I think... he'd be more at home in your arms. I can understand the feeling. ♥
[and he's going to give this angry pig back to souji thanks]

Oh? Then I'll have to take you up on that offer one of these days.
[terrible
but he'll also just drink and admit]
It sounds like a fine distraction from everything else happening.

Jae-ha gives him a Look at that but otherwise accepts the invitation and joins him on the bed.]
Oh? And what do you have in mind?
no subject
ANYWAY HE JUST sets down his pig (who immediately bounces off to claim the pillow as his new seat), sets down his cup, and makes a "turn around" sort of gesture with his newly freed hand.]
Face the door, if you'd please.

But.
Jae-ha will do as asked?
I hate that he's so obedient
please stab him in the back literally]

jae-ha has
probably never really gotten a probably massage before? he might squirm for a second]

[it's actually fine.
he's just. caught off-guard.]
.... I just can't say I remember the last time I had one of these.
[he probably has so many damn knots. he's stressed and exhausted constantly]

If you can convince Sousei to sit still long enough for this, I'd kiss you.
[he'd also
kiss him anyway
but it's the first thing out of his mouth so]

[jae-ha
this is your partner]
no subject
[HIS TYPE IS VERY QUESTIONABLE.]
no subject
... well you're not wrong. They seem like the type that are harder to get. It sort of makes you want to chase after them all the more, doesn't it?
no subject
[why
why do their bad tastes align]
It's also much more satisfying when you can get them to smile.
