[ Bandou heard the thud and turned. Most probably would have just let Eric deal with it himself, but he was a member of HORMA now. And though Bandou would probably whine about what Eric had done to him at some point in the future, he wasn't going to treat him like he didn't matter.
So, he extends a hand out, willing to lift the kid up if he needed the help. ]
[ When Bandou put his hand out, Eric closed his eyes and flinched, expecting something else. ]
I'm fine...
[ He tries to get up by himself, but halfway through his legs decide to bring him back to the ground. He looks up worriedly at the hand, but his hands remain at his side as he tries to get back up on his own. ]
[ Don't worry, Eric, Bandou won't punch you unless you do something especially stupid. Instead he kneels down and slings one of Eric's arms over his shoulder, giving him better support to stand. ]
You're probably hungry, aren't you?
[ The kid was skinny enough that he probably wasn't fed well. ]
[ He tries to move away from Bandou as he reaches down and gives a small noise like a squeak. The support is a mild freaking out, wincing a bit because ow that just hurts his arm and ribs. ]
N-no no...I'm fine.
[ He says this as his stomach makes a noise. He grabs his stomach trying to make it quiet. ]
[ You had punched him as well you don't see him complaining about it, another reason why he doesn't believe him for it. He stumbles but catches himself and begins to walk again albeit a bit more slowly ]
[ Eric blinks in surprise at the sudden change but lowers his head and follows silently behind him, trying to keep up.
His head was swarming, he wasn't sure what to believe, he was tired, hungry and in pain. He didn't have Hikawa anymore, his world was gone and he was following someone into another.
He could run still. Where? Maybe one of Hikawa's partners. Why? He knows a few they would keep the collar on his neck. Back to what he knew. He didn't know Homra, didn't know this freedom. But he said he would help them. That could be a lie no problem. Run away. Stay. Leave them. Help them. He shook his head, repeating in English under his breath. ]
[ Bandou could hear some kind of mumbling behind him and he turned to find Eric had decided to follow along, after all. But he was saying something Bandou didn't quite understand. Was it even directed at him? ]
[ Bandou didn't have much money to begin with, even less coming in now that this interview was completely blown. So he's probably going to lead him to some kind of convenience store to get a quick drink and snack of some kind. ]
We can get something better later.
( Since Bandou's in like dressy clothes, without any of his accessories, it'd be funny if next time Eric sees him he's like, 'who's this guy?' )
[ Looking at the price tag, Bandou makes a bit of a face. But it's fine, the kid looked like he needed a lot more than that. ]
Yeah, fine.
[ He takes it from Eric and goes up to pay for their stuff. It emptied out his wallet but whatever. Shouhei would lend him some cash if he needed it. ]
[ He stares at it as it was given back to him, surprised he was actually allowed to have it.
He looks back up to Bandou before slowly taking the rice ball and opening it up. He tilts his head slightly before taking a bite out of it. It was fresh and not something that had been on someone else's plate.
Sorry Bandou, Eric doesn't have much manners so he messily eats up the rice ball, causing a bit of a mess on his face, hands and floor. ]

I'm not gonna hurt you, alright? Even though you punched me and kicked me in the stomach.

Words don't mean anything. Nothing but hollow.

[ He stands and shoves his hands in his pockets, walking ahead of Eric. ]
I told you you could do whatever you wanted now. If you don't want my help, or want to believe me, then fine.

Nothing...

[ Going with the original plan because he has no clue how long he was knocked out, but he's feeling rather hungry himself. ]

[ He mumbles out, even though his stomach was protesting in hunger. It was weird to just be offered something. ]

Eric stared at the food. It was clean, still in the wrapper, in one piece, still fresh food. And it was for him. ]
This is for me?
(He will be like wheres Bandou and he'll be like over here you idiot and Eric will be like what? XD)
no subject
[ He'll be over here looking at something overly salty and unhealthy. ]
no subject
[ Eric wanders off, eyeing all the food, the colours and smells...so much. What was he suppose to choose? Something inexpensive...
He comes back to Bandou and holds up just one onigiri, for the price of 2 dollars ]
Is this okay?
no subject
Yeah, fine.
[ He takes it from Eric and goes up to pay for their stuff. It emptied out his wallet but whatever. Shouhei would lend him some cash if he needed it. ]
