Why is that something you're apologizing to me for?
[ He gets it, he thinks, feeling embarrassed maybe -- but Ginger didn't lay a hand on him. He doesn't even think Khun deserves an apology, to be frank. ]
[ Oh. That gets him to soften, and he lowers the flowers to meet his gaze properly. ]
Don't be sorry. You were protecting someone you care about. Doesn't mean you don't care about anyone else, yeah? I don't blame you. If anything, I should be the one apologizing for not doing anything for you.
Of course. You were just looking out for him -- but if I don't have to apologize for not going to you, then you don't have to apologize for not coming to me. I'm fine, anyway.
[ He lightly pushes the bouquet of flowers back towards Ginger. ]
[ First: a surge of protectiveness. What happened with Mika? Why is Yamato stressing him out? Then: reason because Yamato has never seemed like he had bad intentions. ]
No, he... doesn't like that he has to feed off us. He doesn't like... what he is now. To put it into perspective, he would also say: "I think I need to stay away from Yamato. ... I think I've only managed to stress him out more than anything else." But replace stress with hurt, with upset, with any negative thing that could happen.
[ He sounds like he hasn't let that quite sink in yet, but he's in no mood to rebuff Ginger, either. He'll just accept Ginger's words and meet them with a nod. ]

LOL
Oh, Ginger. Hey.
[ But why does he look sad? And what're the flowers for? Yamato's expression turns into one of concern. ]
Did something happen?
no subject
[ Just shoving the cauliflowers at Yams. ]

[ He's genuinely confused and surprised as he looks at the bouquet being shoved into his arms. ]
Ginger, what-?
no subject
I was... violent.

[ Apologies are hard, but Ginger's trying. ]
But I do care.

[ Genuinely surprised by that. ]
No, I’m… fine. But Mika wasn’t. That was the problem.

We're even, then?
no subject
… Are you really fine?
no subject
[ His feelings on the matter are another story, though. ]
Nobody died. Good enough, right?
no subject
[ His concern isn’t just physical injuries. ]
… inside?
no subject
...Do you wanna come in for this?
no subject
Alright.

I think I need to stay away from Mika. ... I think I've only managed to stress him out more than anything else.
no subject
Wha - what do you mean?
no subject
[ No nefarious motives here, don't worry, Ginger. Just a looooot of self-hatred issues. ]
I wonder if I'm the one who needs to stay away from him instead, haha.

no subject
I see.
[ Boy, does he get that. ]
He's staying away from people because he thinks it's for their own good...?
no subject
[ His heart aches for Mika. ]
But you know, Yamato, if any of us are ever stressed about you, it's because we're - uh - we don't mind. So you should stay around.

Thanks. I'll do my best to stay out of trouble.
