[ surprise they're both looking at sword things now. eiden has a sketchbook at his feet and currently, there are pictures of the gou swords just kind of all over the page. the pencil is like a tiny baby stub at this point that he's turning around in his fingers. he makes room for him so they can sit together. ]
[ he nods. as he leans on him, eiden automatically shifts to just... hug him briefly into his side if allowed, otherwise his hand is just resting there in his shoulder in silent comfort, brow furrowed. ]
[He allows it--by this point, at least today, boundaries are not his biggest concern (except for Matsui's). Though his emotions immediately shift into a horrified kind of empathy.]
You shouldn't have had to. [It's horrible, the way these days go. And it's really only going to get worse, isn't it?
But it's completely valid of Eiden to not want to talk about it. Kaveh lifts a hand to rest on his head, gently--something of a meager shield. Otherwise, he lets Eiden stay hidden as long as he needs.]

It's where we found him...
no subject
Oh, Eiden. I'm so sorry.
no subject
It's... thanks, I just.
Haven't really seen a dead body... least not of someone...
[ you know. that we really cared about. he doesn't finish that, just kind of curls in a little more. sry. this is better than thinking about it. ]
