[Ryan sincerely loves their friendship, and it really is a comfort to hear all of this from someone, even if there are parts he doesn't entirely believe. Just having someone to say them helps.]
Totally! What we have is like-- it's a totally different level. I've never had a friend like you before that was super like me. It, uh. It makes things...clearer with Min, I think?
[He flushes a little at that. It's something he's thought about a lot in Trench, how things he always thought were close friendship are things Wu has with Mako, and not things Ryan has with him. It's never made him jealous though, it was just a quiet realization of everything his ex-girlfriends rolled their eyes about.]
...I don't know. When he gets scared or overwhelmed he tends to...you know. Run? It's why my solo tour was solo - I sprang it on him with a week's notice and it was too much for him. And...I assumed that meant no forever and took off.
[He's calm when he says it - they've worked through it thanks to the train and they were finally on tour together, but there's still definitely fear underneath it that this was too much all at once, that it might be the final straw for Min.]
[ Even if he has no idea if Min-Gi feels the same way. Probably, by how he reacted to Wu saying they were boyfriends, but you never know ]
Okay... so maybe he needs some time. But, this place is pretty scary. Do you think we could find him, but then, like, not make him do anything? Just to make sure he's okay?
[ Because even with his own twinge of jealousy, having someone, anyone, out in Trench, alone and powerless-- it's terrifying. He doesn't want anything bad to happen to him for Min-Gi's own sake, and for Ryan's, too. ]
[They sit with that uncomfortable uncertainty for a moment or so. Despite what he said, Ryan isn't feeling it either. The image that crosses is mind is less of an image and more the feeling of someone grabbing him from behind off the street months ago.]
Sooooo, uh. Did you see what way he went?
[Because they should absolutely go find him immediately.]
Wu pushes himself up immediately, feeling the urgency coming off of Ryan in waves. He points in the direction Min-Gi left in and starts off. Fritter chitters and springs up to leap to his shoulder ]
We, we can find him. Nothing's going to happen to him!
[ He can't promise that, but he's going to anyway ]

[Not everything in Trench is warm fires and nikuman, after all. (Though, the nikuman is pretty good. He finished his bun and everything.)]
I don't think he could have gotten far? He's still kind of wobbly, from the whole squid thing. Plus I still have most of his stuff.
[He holds up Min's welcome bag and gently shakes it for emphasis. Min will have to come back for his things, right? ....Right?]
no subject
I... you know him. If you think we should leave him alone, we can.
[ But he has an image flash in his mind of monsters coming up on Min-Gi and eating him. He swallows his bun with an audible gulp ]
Yeah, he... he'll come back.
[ He doesn't sound convinced at all ]
