[Liem watches with a small frown as Minegishi slumps against the fence, his manner less abrasive and more exhausted even than on the previous occasion he'd seen him, back in Venera. He's acquired the current date from one of the Citadel servants since being released from imprisonment, and he knows that his captivity only lasted a couple of weeks, regardless of how interminable it felt to him. It worries him to see just how much worse Minegishi's condition looks now, after such a short amount of time.
Not that Liem could say any differently about himself, but he dearly hopes the boy hasn't been subjected to anything like what he's gone through for the past two weeks. He remembers his desperation not to attract the Regent's ire with his failure, and while Liem is confident that they wouldn't imprison their aions over such a thing, he can't help but worry regardless in the face of just how haggard Minegishi looks.]
I don't usually see other people about at this time of night.
[As ever, Minegishi's belligerent choice of words seems to flow past Liem without bothering him. But he stoops to lean against the fence next to the other, perching on it with bird-like restiveness as he watches him, his expression taut with exhausted unease.]
