[ izō is free to drink more since he just hands it back once he's poured himself enough (for now). ryouma is lucky he doesn't choke on it.
it helps though, taking just a few seconds to reorder his thoughts. it's a relief to know he's wrong but there's a whole other question of what exactly this is between them that he's not sure either of them is prepared to examine either.
he'll stick to what he does know then. ]
Then it sounds like I oughta be grateful to both of them for helping you out. I don't know why we end up where we end up and I'm sorry that place was so terrible, but I'm really glad good things came out of it for you, Izō. That makes me happier than anything, no matter what!
[ it's a genuine smile, like always. whatever his confusing personal feelings on the matter, they can't diminish that at all. ]
Majima called us "ghosts" when we were talking. I don't think I gave him a very good explanation either, but that wasn't exactly an easy meeting to begin with. Wasn't gonna go and give him a headache just trying to explain all the rest right then...
