[Tay doesn't cry. He is excellent at locking emotions away and keeping his unruffled mask pristinely in place. The mafia world would tear anyone who crumbled or showed weakness like that to shreds.
However, once Tay's in Kinn's arms, he feels a shudder go through him and his throat tightening. Hot tears stung his eyes and he helplessly wrapped his arms around his best friend. He almost cringes hearing his voice, thick with emotion.]
They were both so stupid for not leaving! They were so worried about that fucking garden that they nearly got us all killed for it. I shouldn't even care what happens to them but.. I just couldn't leave them here alone.
[ Great. Now he has to see how big a mess he has to organize over in the port market. And see if anything got back to the Yokahama family. ]
Just...Next time you do something hair-brained, check with me first? If this place is like the Yakuza we have back home, you don't want to rile them up if you can help it.
[Tay loves how much faith Kinn has in him. Fortunately, it had been a small gang and when they ended up taking the group out, it had just produced rumors that whoever 'Tay' was had strong friends. Still, after the trouble he caused, he accepts the reprimand.]
I won't.
[He gives his friend a sweet, chaste kiss on the cheek and goes back to his coffee.]
How are you handling the fact Vegas is wanting to run a bar of all things?

You did good, Tay. You got you -and them- out of there alive. You didn't abandon them; You're a good friend.
[When the fuck did he become the Mafia's therapist?! Which gives him the idea that maybe there should be a therapist on staff back home. ]

Thank you.
[He draws back and offers Kinn a weak smile. He wipes the tears from his cheeks and looks sheepishly at the wet spot on Kinn's shoulder.]
I'm sorry for not telling you about the port and my knee.

[Kinn isn't oblivious that Vegas needs to be occupied with goals. Just not Family Goals.]
It's a simple, straight forward thing. Casinos are more complicated.
