β.... why would I do....-...β He stopped himself and just nodded quietly.
He wasn't in any position to argue, he was being taken care of. He didn't want to ruin it. Not this time.
He reaches for the teacup, cradling like it was something precious.

he pours the tea into a cup and brings it to the other, smiling lightly down at the bunnies. βlet me get you some hay and you can feed them.β
pittering away once more.
His gaze softens instantly. His fingertips brush the head of the bunny. The scent of tea is relaxing him a lot more than he wanted to admit...
β ... hi... β He said quietly.
he smiles quietly to himself, leaning against the counter as he waits for the tea to steep. one of the bunnies approach mintae bravely, nosing at his pants legs.
βthey donβt bite.β
He scoffed at his suggestion. Why would he pet them .α£ and yet his hand reached forward cautiously, the bandages still secure..
β If this thing bites me.. I will--.. β he stopped and glanced down at the bunnies...
β You're all so small.. β
βi told you, i donβt want anything.β he peers up at the other, looking so out of place in somewhere so serene. he just needs some healing. βyou can pet them if you want.β
The giggle bubbling out of her chest could hardly be described as normal. Unsettling, creepy, a little unhinged even.
" There's no word to describe what I am ", she snickered. " Closest would probably be a wendigo, but even that is off. Told ya we're real. "
he was very clearly taken aback by the statement.
a startled laugh fell from him, murmuring back a defense softly before taking a sip of his coffee, " i suppose that's what happens when you work an overnight and don't have time to sleep after it... "
hopping around them..
β ..... You have so many of them. β
He felt like a kicked animal, wounded, unsure who to trust. No one had ever shown him kindness.
Mintae's blonde hair fell over his eyes as he leaned against the glass..
β What do you want from me, really.. .α£ β
He steps inside, hesitant at first. He really doesn't belong here with someone like him.
His hands clench at his sides before he has to remind himself not to put pressure on his knuckles.
A quiet exhale leaves him as he sits down by the window, looking at the bunnies (+)
&. greeting them as soon as they stepped in, and the smell of soft calming herbs lingering in the air. βfeel free to sit anywhere, the store is closed for the day anyway.β
he looked tired as well, he merely shook his head.. noticing how tense the other one seemed.
no one ever apologises to him.
β it's.. fine. you look like shit. β
it had been a long night and he had several more hours until he could sleep⦠another shift before then.
eyes widening as he looked over at who he had bumped into, β oh shit, iβm sorry, i should have been paying attention. β
Mintae walked alongside him, his eyes scanning the male with clear suspicion.. why was he humming .α£
He kept his head down as they walked, his hands shoved into his leather jacket pockets as he followed the other..
β...Mintae.β he muttered, almost to himself.

He hesitated.. every single nerve in his body screamed as he flexed the bandage against his knuckles. This was wrong. He doesnt deserve love. Not like this.
He quietly nodded.
β Yeah, whatever. Tea and then i'm leaving. I don't care about your stupid bunnies. . β [+]
&. overnight, and it'll be as good as new tomorrow!" packing away his little aid kit back into his satchel. "and i like to help, that's all. do you want some tea too? my shop isn't far from here. there's bunnies too."
