FOR PSI - right after rose burning

[dontpokethat]

Ginko is pretty quiet throughout the process of retrieving his car and getting back to Psi’s apartment. He knows perfectly well that what happened wasn’t technically his fault, but… that doesn’t mean he’s not pretty unhappy about it all.

He finally speaks up when they get inside, looking up sheepishly at Psi. “So, uh. That… happened.”

FOR ZECORA - after the rose burning (around October 18th-19th)

[dontpokethat]

Over a week after their last conversation, Ginko finally shows up to Zecora’s clinic. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he’s… not looking great. Besides being visibly exhausted, there’s gauze wrapped (somewhat clumsily) over his empty eye socket, and he’s actually managing to be more avoidant of eye contact than usual.

“Uh… hey.” Then, after a moment’s pause, “You did tell me so.”

FOR JOKER - late week 3

[dontpokethat]

With the whole rose situation behind him, Ginko is… well, not actually feeling great. It’s fully sinking in now what’s happened, what he did. He knows perfectly well, of course, that it’s not as if it was his decision, but… knowing he’d been used like that still isn’t a great feeling.

Of course, one of his go-to ways to handle stress has always been to go for a walk. It’s comforting to be able to go out and walk around, usually with Miu alongside him. So, that’s what he’s doing today - wandering the park, watching his guinea pig snuffle around. He’s got his hat pulled over his head and his bangs shoved over his left eye as usual, but it still might be possible to see the straps of the medical eyepatch under his hair.

FOR TANYUU - week 4 (after the attack on the circle)

[dontpokethat]

So it’s kind of seeming like this past month has been… less than great for pretty much everybody. Ginko is used to things being less than great, and just riding it out (maybe almost dying a couple times? He’s not sure at this point) but this is a long time of stuff being, let’s face it, pretty shitty.

Staying with Psi has helped some, but at this point there’s someone else he feels like he’s got to go see - for a few reasons.

He knocks on the door of Tanyuu’s apartment.
