[Lyney, as a rule, does not like going to people outside of the Family for help. He just doesn't know that he can trust them, and trust is tantamount for him.
But Shio was Family, once, before he managed to leave and maybe that's what Lyney needs right now. At least, he knows Shio won't report him to the Family for coming back injured.
He knocks on the employee entrance of Gen's, pressing his jacket to the wound on his arm.]

Date: 2025-02-13 10:20 pm (UTC)It's a bit later, a little closer to closing when he hears the knock at the employee entrance. Which is weird, most of the other employees have gone home by now. He opens the door, eyes widening at the sight.]
Lyney, what the hell happened?!
[He ushers the other inside, closing the door behind him. He calls out to the front--]
Hey, Kunikaki! Keep an eye on things, something came up!
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 10:23 pm (UTC)[But he will, and he steps into "boss" mode pretty quickly.
Lyney just sort of smiles weakly as he's ushered in.]
Oh, you know how it is~
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 10:27 pm (UTC)He sighs exasperatedly, grabbing the first aid kit before ushering Lyney along to a restroom, making sure to conveniently keep the other out of view.]
Yeah. Yeah I do, which is why I'm worried if you're coming to me.
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 10:29 pm (UTC)[It's a nasty little wound. He absolutely got into a knifefight, or something.]
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 10:34 pm (UTC)Why hasn't Father done anything about him still?
[Doesn't she hate that guy too?
(And yes, there's always a part of him that will see Arlecchino as Father, even if he's out of the Family, no matter how much time passes.)
He starts taking care of the wound, his touch careful.]
Someone came at you with a knife, huh.
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 10:37 pm (UTC)[Lyney sits, shifting so Shio can look at his arm better.
He shouldn't say this, but it's Shio.]
...Father isn't in charge anymore. She was overthrown.
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 10:39 pm (UTC)... What?
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 10:42 pm (UTC)[...it's safe.]
We're looking for her, at least those of us who can. The new head is...well, he likes Dottore.
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 10:48 pm (UTC)As he tends to the wound--]
Are Lynette and Freminet okay? I can find somewhere for them to lay low if necessary--
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 10:56 pm (UTC)But.]
They're...alive. I...haven't actually seen them in a while. I'm not allowed.
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 11:02 pm (UTC)[OH HE LIKES THAT EVEN LESS.
That makes it clear that this "Uncle" needs to go yesterday.]
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 11:04 pm (UTC)[It's an attempt to cow and control Lyney.]
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 11:11 pm (UTC)[Deep breath. Inhale. Exhale. Okay. He's not calm, but he's steadier. He needs to talk to Kunikaki.]
Hey. Stay here as long as you need--nobody'll start trouble here because we've got a bunch of folks who will enforce the neutrality rule.

no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 11:25 pm (UTC)[And... there. He's done cleaning and bandaging the wound by now.]
... Do you want something to eat while you're here?
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 11:28 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 11:30 pm (UTC)[Gentle nudge. He closes the first aid kit and stands up to wash his hands.]
Whatever you'd like.
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 11:36 pm (UTC)[He moves his arm, leaving the jacket behind. It's for the incinerator. Or his magic, whichever.]
And sake? I am old enough, despite rumors to the contrary~
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 11:45 pm (UTC)You got it. The room we rent out for parties isn't being used, if you want to duck in there.
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 11:50 pm (UTC)[He is going to duck in there, find the bench he knows is in there, and just.
Lay there.
Unmoving.
Exhausted.]
no subject
Date: 2025-02-13 11:53 pm (UTC)Shio wanders back to the kitchen to get to work, nudging Kunikaki's shoulder with his own as thanks.]
