[Now that he very strongly suspects they are Doomed if they don't start being happy, he's looking around the aisle that holds games. He glances towards Tsuru as he comes.]
[He reaches out to take her as if she were made of glass, and that caution means he's touching Tsuru's hands as Evan takes her.
Given what's happening now, the first thing Tsuru will feel is a sense of gratitude and affection, in that he's happy to be able to hold this chicken and thinks she's very cute. Under that, though... There's the constant stream of anxiety that hasn't really faltered here, that's enough to drown him if he lets it. Just as strong is the sense of guilt he's felt for weeks.]
from tsurumaru, he'll feel a sense of... well, calm, and a kind of very delighted joy. underneath that is... well, a little hard to tell, since it's sort of like hitting a wall. hm. someone has defenses when he isn't very actively feeling an emotion. ]
She likes you.
[ he will not acknowledge evan's bad feelings it's fine ]
[He's so startled that he nearly drops the chicken, but I'm not that mean, and also Tsurumaru would definitely catch her even if Evan did. He does take a step back, though, drawing in a shocked breath.]
—Sorry! Sorry, I didn't mean to... I'm sorry.
[He says, holding this emotional support chicken.]
