[Glancing at Lio when he mentions Phoenix. Aww, man.]

Yeah. We might have to do without that for a bit.

[soba]

[ it's fine i'm sure lio isn't feeling immense guilt over that or anything ]

... well, I'm sure we'll manage. You're all smart people.

[>smart people
>looks at this room
>well maybe toi]

[Anyway, Lio just hums in response to that, before he tilts his head to look at Toi. He remembers him during the trial and before this, having trouble with the hostages thing.]

. . . Are you alright?

[burningrescue]

[Ah! Lio, he's so amazing! Just outright asking Toi if he's all right! Galo has wanted to ask for weeks, but didn't want to be lame.]

Yeah. This week was really hard . . .

[soba]

[ he feels like this is backwards and that he should be asking them that?? hewwo??? ]

... good thing the week is over now, then.

[madburnout]

[Listen, everyone has asked if they are okay already, THEY'RE FINE. They're fine, apart from Lio's suppressed angst for the moment. He'll deal with that later.]

I know the hostages were difficult. I imagine from here on out, it will only be more difficult. We should learn to rely on one another.

[Honestly, aside from the physical, Galo is pretty good right now.]

Yeah. They'll keep trying this shit on us, as long as it keeps working. But I know you were worried. [About your garbage brother. But he hasn't dropped those specific details on Lio - it feels private.]

[soba]

[ when has chikai ever done anything wrong ever in his life ]

... I guess I was, yeah.

[ it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted by the incentive this time around. ]
