-- Belph!!
[ literally as soon as he leaves the tailor and hears the news from the Dragon and Tiger, he's going to find Belph and run up to him, his expression a mixture of alarm and relief.
He was worried - truly. And he still is - especially knowing his partner is dead. There's a sour feeling unraveling in the pit of his stomach like a black snack, but for the moment, he keeps it down. ]
You're still alive... Good.

[ to be honest, he'd thought it was a weird prank, or maybe someone's role that he hadn't learned about. He didn't think that much about it at all. With everything else going on, how could he focus on a silly ring that said "bitches" on it?
He certainly didn't imagine it was Belph trying to save his life (or what's left of it.) No one has ever done that for him. Of that, he's certain. Emotion wells up in him, hot and unfamiliar, and he stares at his feet, overcome. ]

... Anyway, yeah. There's your explanation! I have to admit, though, it was pretty funny.

[ that reaction... Belph is as bad as he is at being honest - he just expresses it in a different way. He'd laugh if he wasn't feeling so moved. That's what this feeling is, isn't it? It's one he's been feeling too much lately.
Hikage doesn't know how to convey what he's feeling in the least. Thank you isn't enough - Belph used a wish to protect his worthless existence, because he apparently sees something in him worth protecting, something in him worth keeping from further harm and further sin. Timidly, he reaches out, pinching a bit of Belph's sleeve between his fingers; it's an awkward gesture, and he can't think of anything to say that will go along with it. In the end, he has to go with the insufficient. ]
... Thank you.

Don't worry about it, man. Besides, you're probably the only person who'd be thankful for a reward used from murdering someone.
