Apologies, Assaults, and Coping With Outcomes

[comboherooo.livejournal.com]

[The screen pops on, and the video feed shows Eiji sitting at the computer. Ankh's in the background, either pacing around, or just kicking it against a shelf, waiting for Eiji to do whatever dumb thing he's come here to do. He doesn't get why he had to come along...]

Greetings, everyone - my name is Hino Eiji. Back there--[He pauses to turn and find Ankh, then motions at him.]--is my friend, Ankh. In the last several days, it's come to my attention that a number of you have been victim to harassment by him, for which I would like to apologize - he's a fellow from a rather underdeveloped place, and he had a rather terrible upbringing which has resulted in his bad behavior--"

And now, Ankh cuts in - "What the hell are you telling them, idiot?!"

Well. He might not return the thought, but I consider him a friend.

[Eiji nods, and looks a little dejected.] I know it's a hollow gesture coming from someone you don't know, but I still felt I should at least do that much. [Because there's no way in hell Ankh's going to apologize.]

If there's anything more I can do to help with something, or make some kind of amends, please let me know. [He bows at the screen now, quickly raising back up. It's something he's got into a habit of repeating, but the offer and the thought behind it is sincere.]

I suppose everyone needs a friend, even if they don't desire one.

[He didn't mean to make Eiji feel bad, it was a good gesture to offer some apology, or some explanation, but still.]

It's not hollow at all, you seem to genuinely feel bad for what he's done, it's only a shame Ankh could not share some of the sentiment.

[He's very polite, that's for sure, it's a nice change from Ankh needless to say.]

I should introduce myself, seeing as your friend happens to be a roommate of mine. Charles Xavier, it's a pleasure to meet you. [A slight bow of his head towards the screen in greeting.]

[Eiji nods, giving the older man a slight smile.] I agree.

Likewise, Mr. Xavier - I am Hino Eiji. Ankh and I come from the same world, and have a bit of history. [He does sound slightly exasperated as he says that - he's rather used to having to clean up the messes Ankh makes.]

Hey! Don't talk about like I'm not here, idiots!

[Rrrrrrr this is degrading and ridiculous.]
