Jin came down slowly and humbly, choosing to double wrap. The towel was girdled as a loin-cloth with the robe tight bound by its belt. He glanced at the boy for all of two second as he entered into the kitchen, still not fully able to look at him without a feeling of shame or guilt. It didn't help much the way that both Briney and his son were willing to overlook the incident. Jin knew what it was like to arrest the kind of men that reveal themselves to underaged, vulnerable children. Even if by genuine accident, he still felt like he should atone for what Leodin had to see. Jin took a seat as he was invited to. He picked up the fork in his left hand, mulling it into the food, not actually taking a bite. It took him a minute but he eventually caved to the deafening tension plaguing his mind.

[color=gray]"I'm sorry."[/color] he muttered, looking into the food. [color=gray]"To you and your boy. I didn't mean to... I didn't know he... I'm sorry."[/color] he attempted, not being able to bring himself to admit what actually happened, but not allowing himself to breath until he had fully apologised either. His conscience was lifted enough for him to then try some of the food. [color=gray]"You asked me my name earlier. If it's all the same to you, since you found in the rain and waves, you can just call me 'Cloud',"[/color] suggested Jin. [color=gray]"I haven't got anywhere to be, but I have something to do. Your boathouse tells me you're the kind of guy who knows about getting around in the waves. If it's all the same to you, Briney, I'd like to just shadow you for the day. See this land from your eyes, from the eyes of someone who knows the course of the waves better than the course of the land."[/color] requested Jin, finding a more assertive voice the more he moved away from what happened earlier.
