Shin’s expression became thoughtful. She was okay with whatever it was? It sounded like they had a complicated relationship. Maybe he didn’t have all of his memories, but from what he had seen so far, he couldn’t really see why. Inia seemed very nice, and she had probably just saved his life.
Portraits. Scenery. Pin-ups. That seemed like a very interesting combination. Maybe they got into fights about that last one? He gave another grimace. He really had to try not to think too hard about these things.
“You sound very talented,” Shin commented. The broth was really good. Maybe he couldn’t remember if it was the best thing he had ever tasted, but right now, it was the best thing he had ever tasted. Photography and first aid. He wondered what other talents she might have, too. He frowned a moment when she mentioned that he had a dangerous career. Maybe that was another thing they didn’t see eye-to-eye on?
“I should probably think about changing careers, then,” Shin mumbled. He wanted to ask more about this career that he had, but it occurred to him that tonight, he probably hadn’t been out at work. Because surely, his co-workers would have seen him and helped him, right? His eyebrows furrowed. “Hmmm. Do I work at night? I don’t think I was at work. I woke up in a ditch… like this. Maybe I was mugged?” He paused a moment, then his eyes widened. Well, one way to check for sure, right? He started patting himself down and pulling things out of his pockets. The first thing he pulled out was a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. He tilted his head slightly.
“I smoke?” He looked at the cigarettes thoughtfully. Y’know, it made sense, maybe. He was feeling rather jittery. Maybe he needed to smoke a cigarette. Then, he pulled out a set of keys. House keys? Car keys, maybe? He set them on the table. The next thing he pulled out was a tube of lube, and this was the most puzzling thing. Why did he keep lube in his pockets? It seemed like a rather odd thing to carry around. He glanced at Inia momentarily as if hoping she could shed some light on the subject. Then, he wondered if he wanted her to shed light on this particular subject. It was just so… bizarre. He shoved the lube back in his pocket. The one thing he didn’t find was a wallet… or any sign of yuans.
“Either I’m very broke or I got robbed.” He was completely unaware of the fact that he was also missing his knife as well. He frowned. “I don’t know if I have work tomorrow, but… I can’t go in like this. I don’t even remember what I used to do. I’ll have to call in or take leave or something. Would you be able to help me get in contact with them?”
Inia smiled softly to him though it didn’t reach her eyes. “I’d prefer it if you did, but .... you’d never consider it.” She said gently as she watched him very closely. She sipped at the broth then the coffee she wondered herself what happened. Was he working? Was he mugged? Was it a hooker deal gone wrong? Was it some broad... or man he was bedding that got pissed off for some reason? Was it gang related? Was he drinking at a bar and get into a fight?She honestly didn’t know and that worried her even more.
Seeing him pull the lube out of his pocket she bloshed blood red and frowned looking away not looking at it or him until he spoke to her agai.n. “Yes, I’ll call them for you. You just worry about getting some rest and healing. But for now you should eat. Try not to worry about work or your memories. They’ll come back. I’ll call a healer first thing in the morning.” She said gently. Yes his memories would come back....how upset was he going to be with her when they did.
